The Royals have lost eight of the twelve games they have played this month. That's NOT getting hot down the stretch.

The Mariners squeaked out a 12-5 victory over the Royals... yawn
Tonight's game between the Blue Jays and the Royals was not on my MLB package or a local network. My son was over so I didn't really miss not seeing the game. He just left so I turned on the plex just to get the score and watch the remaining baseball games. Toronto 1 KC 20. I don't enjoy watching a blowout no matter which team is winning. I'm all about winning but that wasn't a game.
The Royals actually won again tonight. Two wins in a row has to be a new record.
How did the Yanks not produce some runs in the bottom of the 9th with bases loaded and no outs?
Dodgers looked real....

ty.. It's only a game, right?
I've told myself that for decades. It hasn't helped.
I'm backing off next year. I'm too invested in baseball. I know I've said that here, before, but this time I'm not going to buy MLB All Teams.
For the past three or four years, the package has been gifted to me by DirecTV. Part of their loyalty program. The last year they had the NFL package, I was gifted it as well. If I have to, I will buy the baseball package. I enjoy baseball that much and I'm ahead of the game with the gifted subscriptions.
I have ignored the NFL package once DTV's lost their monopoly. Do I miss it.. you bet I do. Am I prepared to pay the big bucks to watch the games.... Nope, count me out. I'll watch whatever the networks carry and be happy with my savings.

Mankind today has many more leisure hours than previous generations. Self improvement should be the priority but entertainment seems to fill the idleness for most. Broadcasted programming is the most affordable entertainment. It can be done at home with family which is a plus. Personally, I choose sports to fill many hours of my free time. I love to read history as well, but the relaxing escape from boredom is sports. My wife loves to play games on her PC and watch crime dramas. We both enjoy the entertainment value of the TV and are willing to budget to cover the cost of that entertainment. With the tools available today, a person should concentrate on bettering themselves but it's very easy to just be entertained. The only value of sport and most all programming is to fill the hours of idleness. Right or wrong, we grew up with the TV and sports that were quick to strive to be entertaining and have edited their games through the years to remain relevant. Conspiracy theorist will say that the games and officiating are manipulated to make the games more exciting. And sadly, there has been an increase in expense to be entertained for the targeted sports fan. It has become super big business with mega dollars involved. I well understand your desire to step away and I wish you luck with your effort.
