The painfully slow pace, gazillion pitching changes, and endless T.V. commercials made that game unwatchable (figuratively speaking). I lost interest around the 5th or 6th inning. Even then it felt like the game had gone 12! Simply brutal.

You must have been hitting the crack pipe. Thats not Pedro Martinez or Hideki Matsui's fault. The game started after 8 PM and ended before 12 AM. So, a less than four hour post season game has you whining that it felt like 12 ??
You don't watch much post season baseball ...... period.
COPPER is gutter !

As a Red Sox fan, I've had to put up with 5-5:30 Sox/Yanks games for years now. It's ridiculous. Look, my dad's grave says 'Never Saw The Red Sox Win The World Series' (seriously), so I will always put up with it and find it difficult to lose interest. But these games could easily be played in 3:15 on average. I saw Posada go out to the mound six times during the same inning the other night. And that Martinez/Matsui confrontation in the 2nd inning was almost unbearable. Frankly, I was sure he was homering before the at bat started. Maybe that's why it felt so long, because it was so inevitable.
As I get older and have more stuff to do, I'm really gravitating to basketball and European soccer because I know I can watch them intently but know they'll be over in two and a half hours. If it's Friday night and the Sox are playing the Yankees, I have to stay home all night because the game is four and a half hours long - that's killing baseball. Yes, I'll commit the time, but eventually people won't.

I thought I might touch a nerve by expressing my opinion, especially the nerve of a Yankee fan or two. I was rooting for the Yankees, but I know boring television when I see it. Besides the previously mentioned flaws, the game was also marred by a home plate umpire who seemingly has no knowledge of the strike zone, and the fact that the game was not even competitive.
You may disagree and think that it was a well-played, well-paced, entertaining game. However, making your point by asserting that I abuse drugs, characterizing my expression of my opinion as "whining," and making references to two players whom I never mentioned are hardly effective or persuasive methods.
Perhaps I don't watch much postseason baseball. I limit my viewing of such to the end of every regular season.

oh wait...maybe that's for the BostonDirtLickers club.
Like most good things, the love of money is ruining our sports.
