Every play could be the deciding factor. Unlike in many other sports, where you get down by 10 pts or 2 TDs or whatever, it is often a case of "its still early". No one can legitimately get a feel for the game or get ridiculously excited when someone hits a 3 pointer to open a bball game. But in baseball, you can have the game out of reach or have a total feel for how it will play out by the time inning #1 is over.

    I will say, I have a hard time watching teams that I dont care about/dont affect the Tribe (so mostly, I cant watch national league games, unless I have a pitcher throwing from my fantasy team).

    I kind of have a theory on why you cant watch non tribe games.

    For one.....ya must be mental to be a cleveland fan.

    Two.......MLB plays every day. If you have time to follow a game it will be your fav team. I love basball.....reds are my team.....and I rarely watch a non reds game. Not becuase I am would be bored or whatever....but the reds play 28 or so games a month and most fans only have the time to pay attention to their team in baseball. ust the way it is.

    I won't be jumping your bones.
