    Bud Selig is the dumbest fukk ever...Let's start the season in fkn Australia...Yeah

    Stupid fukk
    They choose to open the MLB season in bumblefukk Australia so we can oversleep, not even be aware, mess up the time start, etc.
    Not to mention, during the most popular 4 days of the year for sports- The NCAA opening rounds for March Madness.
    Basically they find the worst way possible to open up the best fukkin sport in this world.
    He is one stupid cokk
    Pisses me the fukk off.

    Not only did I not even realize the fukkin season started this morning, but now I'm gonna be fukked on a couple futures I was planning on hammering this week.

    Dumbest fukkin jerkoffs around.
    Yeah, let's open the God damn baseball season, AMERICAS GREATEST PAST TIME, in fukkin Australia.

    I was already steaming about this stupid shit months ago, now I'm in all-out rage mode.
    Get a fukkin clue.
    Thank God this is your last fukkin year running this league you crooked piece of shit.


    How many ppl didn't even realize the season opened this morning? Bet you a shit ton.

    You wanna have a few games in some shit country that's fine.
    But to open the fukkin season in anywhere but God damn America is a disgrace.
    I'd even be fukkin pissed of they opened the fukkin season in Toronto.
    I mean Jesus Christ how dumb can these fukks be.
    What a massive fail.

    No one cares about baseball anymore, not until all the other sports are done.

    List of superstars is pathetic.

    The entire country is focused on March Madness and they have opening day on another continent? who are these guys that get paid to make decisions like this. Baseball so backasswards compared to every other major sport.

    Benny, we're watching March madness.

    Not meaningless spring games.
    Maybe in October, maybe.

    Jesus that's awful lol.
    I was aware of game #2 and slapped the shit out of RYU at -118.
    I am pretty sure I am going to bet the Dodgers all year long whenever they are -120 or less.

    What I don't get, is how is it that 2 teams are ready to start the season, but the other 28 teams aren't? Is it just weather - that they have to get the Aussie games in before the snow flies down there and that they have to wait for the snow to melt up north - Or is it because the teams need time to recover from the travel, if that is the reason and the money is inconsequential (attendance was less than 40,000) - then any middle school boy with a mitt on his handlebars could've told mlb they are a bunch of monkeys. Just pathetic, no wonder baseball is dying.

    BOL

    This was a terrible idea, but lets face it if the NFL or NBA did this the media and others would be praising them on how great of an idea this is.

    We get it, most of us at least. It's still fukkin retarded.

    Australia? Why? What in the fukk is the reason to go to Australia?

    Latin countries, that makes sense. Japan, makes sense. Australia - kill yourself?

    Makes as much sense as if they were to start the NFL season in South Africa.

    if they went to australia, that probably means there is a market for it there, the official attendance was 38,266 so it was probably over 40,000 in the stands, considering that many games in the states play in front of empty stands, thats probably a victory


    also, marketing is not only about gaining market share, but also creating a market were there is none
