My dislike for baseball runs deep, and I do not wish to explain all the reasons for this hatred today.

However, I'll post one reason here and allow others to add if they want. Maybe I'll work on more later.

Reason 1

Intentional walking.

Seriously, what other sport allows teams to take their best opponent player out of the game entirely? It's like being able to foul Kobe every time down the court, and then letting him shoot one free throw every third foul. Since great batters only get up to the plate maybe 4 times a game, I feel this comparison is valid.

Lame.
