If you're watching

a pitchers duel, then yes. If you watch the Texas Rangers then it’s much more exciting than that. I’ll admit baseball is a slower sport, but it’s not boring. I’ll also admit it’s way way better in person. Unless you have a rooting interest baseball is hard to watch on tv…at least during most of the regular season.

For me, the tournament is best in the early rounds, where #14 seed Nowhere State hits a buzzer beater to defeat #3 seed Famous Basketball University (or at least taking them down to the wire). You get multiple games at once, and somewhere, something like that is going down. Then you see the team of 5’10" coaches’ sons running around and celebrating while 6’8" future NBA players and D-Leaguers walk dejectedly off the court.

I tend to lose interest as the tourney goes on, though.

what better way to start the mourning process after learning of a family member’s death then to have a few drinks. You know your eyes will be too tear-filled to be able to drive to a bar, so there’s a safety risk. The hospital bar saves the hospital work, possible lawsuits, and it makes money from the bar itself.
