This time of year

[mstng86]

sucks for sports fans. Other than baseball, there is absolutely nothing to watch or care about.

This might be the worst sports year of all time.

2 simultaneous lockouts
Tiger isn't playing
no olympics

It seems like every sport is just lacking this year.

Tour de France? Womens' World Cup?

Baseball is all you ever really need anyways.

I don't watch either of those. I am going to venture to say that 80% of Americans don't really watch them either.

I am getting more into futbol, little by little.

This is as good as it gets for me. Plenty of baseball on and the incessant rambling that ESPN does about football and basketball 24/7 is at a low for a few months.

I guess you have missed the media circus that is Jeters march to 3000 hit greatness.

How many other guys have done it? Like 30? But since he is a Yankee, it is headline news.

That's a media circus to you?

Media circus might be a stretch, I can't watch anything baseball/espn with at least hearing about it.

oh, and he does have a tv crew following him around for some special or something.

The lull in between football and baseball seasons is worse. I'm not much of a basketball fan.

I know most people in the US are bored by soccer, but soccer fans never have to worry about that. There's soccer year round somewhere.

Right now there's MLS (meh) and Copa America. At the end of the month there will be the pre-season US tour of some of the best teams like Barcelona, Man Utd, Juventus, etc etc.

Plenty of auto/motorcycle racing every weekend.

These are true statements.

None of them did it as Yankees. And 27 guys in a game that's over 120 years old. It's a pretty exclusive club.

Yea its kinda the slow part of the sports year right now. About the only thing really on is baseball or racing. Football usually dosent really get going until end of July for training camp, but thats under normal non lockout situations. Basketball dosent resume until End of October and beginning of November. So yea, pretty much not much going on right now
