The only difference between the NBA and professional wrestling is the ball, and baseball is getting to be just as bad. Basketball, as played in the NBA, is impossible to watch because there are no rules, just 10 tall guys playing a pick up game with a lot of scoring.
Baseball has somehow decided to follow along. Inexplicably, baseball has adopted a rule that if the ball gets to a base before the runner, the runner is out, no tag necessary. It's laziness, of course, on the part of the umpires and the players. Make the call, 
Blue, get the out, you're one of twenty-seven steps closer to going back to the hotel.
The players don't care, either. They just aren't as good as they used to be. Too much video game playing as kids to be serious at baseball. I guess I'll just give up professional sports and stick with something honorable and true and untainted: cycling.
