Explain why Braves fans and MLB people think a .500 baseball team is great and has a good shot at a pennant then. If the Braves win one out of three in a weekend series here, the baseball nerds think it was awesome.
MLB and CBB are not comparable in that respect. And no one thinks a .500 team is great, even in the majors. .500 teams don't make the playoffs. No one thinks a series loss is awesome either
Yes, a stupid comparison.
9-7 teams in the NFL have won the superbowl too.

It is tougher for LSU fans outside of La. to have better tabs on baseball than football. I keep up with the final scores of the baseball games, but I cannot carry a conversation about sluggish bat performance. However, football has the ability to be on a national broadcast on every weekend in the fall. So I would definitely label myself a better football follower.

Chalk it up to the race card, whether you want to hear it or not; I hear that all the time from the long time followers of b.ball.
i really am amazed at all of the racial comments. i have never been more than a football fan and have always been an avid baseball fan. it's BECAUSE I LOVE BASEBALL. what color i am is not remotely relevant.

I don't know if baseball fans are more knowledgeable but I think the hardcore fans maybe appreciate the game a little more
baseball is a much more cerebrial game than football. there is so much going on in the dugout and on the field that the casual fan has no clue of.
