    10 reasons baseball is better than soccer

    flame on girls....

    1. Fake injuries.

    2. 0-0 ties. Nuf said.

    3. Baseball has room for everybody. A fat, slow guy can pitch or play first. In soccer, there’s only one position for slow runners.

    4. Substitution. What’s the point of carrying 22 players if you can only use three in a game? Baseball makes relief pitchers and pinch-hitters part of the drama.

    5. The clock in soccer is silly. The tactics used to delay the game, like fake injuries, substitutions and long kicks into the stands, turn the game into an 80-minute contest.

    6. Baseball is a game of small battles with definite outcomes. There’s pitcher vs. hitter, runner vs. base-stealer, hitter vs. defense. Every play has a winner, and adds to or takes away from the possibility of getting a run. Soccer is thousands of indefinable actions whose implications aren’t clear.

    7. In soccer, you can hide by passing or avoid the ball. In baseball, if you go 0-for-4, everybody will know.

    8. Baseball is a sunny day in the bleachers with your kids. Soccer is a rainy night, standing up, with other people’s kids.

    9. Penalties are too important in soccer. A ref’s mistake can pick the winner. Baseball umpires make hundreds of calls per game. Their mistakes even out. They rarely decide who wins. No foul or offside rule on game-winning homeruns.

    10. It ain’t over till it’s over. In baseball, teams can win after trailing at the penultimate point. In soccer, teams never win when trailing by three scores in the 88th minute.
