It's that painful time of year when the NBA has finished up their draft and the NFL season is still a couple of months away. This leaves only baseball to carry us and quite frankly I don't think I can yawn big enough to show you how boring baseball has become to me. I'm not sure what it is, but every time I watch baseball now it makes me feel like I do when I'm shopping with a girl. I'm just sitting there watching and wondering a) how can someone else find this so fascinating? b) when is this going to be over with? and c) what would Arnold Schwarzenegger do if he was in my shoes? Somehow I just don't think he would get caught in those situations. He would always be cool enough to sneak off to Sbarro's for a snack and then end up winning a Mortal Kombat tournament in the arcade or something. Only to return and actually get away with the excuse that he "took so long" because he was shopping for her at Thing's Remembered.
Speaking of the Schwarz, one thing I have always wondered is, what was going on when the writers were dreaming up the plot for the movie "The 6th Day"? I imagine the discussion went something like this...
Writer #1: "We need to come up with a movie idea that's hot and fresh for Arnold."
Writer #2: "It's not going to be easy coming off the heels of Eraser, True Lies & Last Action Hero, but..."
Writer #1: "Wait a second...I think I may have something here. What's better than one Arnold?"
Three second pause...
Both writers at the same time: "Two Arnolds!"
Followed by a high five and about 12 seconds of uncomfortable man hugging.
Now that movie was a home run (at least in the unintentional comedy department). Unfortunately, baseball no longer is. And that's no laughing matter.
