Breaking news: Nobody likes baseball

Tonight was opening night for the MLB season, and they kicked it off with a bang: One game that's in the process of getting rained out.

Can you feel the excitement?

For crying out loud, you've got 30 teams, you've got 162 games for each, and you're telling me you couldn't start the season with a full slate of games on a Sunday night, when people can actually watch a few innings? Most of the games will start tomorrow afternoon, when the few people who still care about your juiced-up version of golf are slaving away at their office.

Or, if you will, the next generation of potential fans is at school, wondering what basketball game will be on tonight when they get home.

Even ESPN gave up on the start of the season: They had the White Sox and Indians opener on ESPN2, and had women's college basketball on ESPN. That's right, women's college basketball, the ratings juggernaut of the sporting world.

Only 158 days until the football season kicks off. I'm just saying....
