You don't seriously expect people to actually research into something before making ignorant comments around here do you? These are the same people who think there's no tackling in gridiron and just because they wear pads the hits don't hurt like crazy. (Maybe because if they didn't wear pads a football players career would do well to last a year, especially the recievers)

So unbelievably incorrect I don't even know where to start. Just read my previous explanation while slapping yourself in the face chanting; "I will not give opinions on subjects until I know about them".
As it mostly seems to be the viewing your referring to, I’ll note that anyone who even gave Baseball a cursory glace would have noticed the major reporting during this year’s World Series of Japan coming to a standstill to watch Matsui's awesome form continue into the post season.
A few proper world championships-
F1
World Superbikes
The World Cup (Football, rugby)
The Olympics
Geddit?
It is also by far the most representative of any of the World's baseball leagues in terms of spread of nationalities, maybe about 25% of the players running out for games 7 were American. Baseball is also one of the few sports were there is a recognized "best" league that players worldwide aim to play in - if you play in Japan, any of the South American leagues, or independent leagues you know you'll only be a top player when you play in the MLB. The European leagues are even represented by a whopping four active players.
Ultimately, it's the World's premier baseball event. It IS the World Series.
Bah
After a 180 game season, tonight's game was still offering more good stuff. Jack McKien going with Becket on three day's rest keeping up the Marlins' typical aggressive stance - inspired. Gonzalez's unbelievable slide around Posada for the first run was, well, unbelievable. We even got a trademark Jeter spining, scissor kick throw to first.
The writing was on the wall from the very first batter of game one - Pierre bunts onto first leaving Wells looking slow and foolish. That's the whole series in one hit. The Yankees are just beginging to wheeze and things are only going to get worse with huge chunks of their pitching staff retiring and an insane GM out for blood.
The only thing that could have made it better? If Eric bloody Byrnes had've been quicker to touch the plate than shove Varatec and Miggy remembered to run all the way home rather than making assumptions in an elimination Game Three of the Divisional Series. Here's to a fith attempt at getting past the divisionals for my beloved A's next year! Though fingers crossed Miggy is still with us to mess up the base running.
