Went to the Cubs-Cards game recently (the 4-3 loss ) with a couple of old friends. I don't know if it's the alcohol or what but they can't seem to sit still for a game. They wanna spend the whole time walking around, getting food, getting beer, walking here, walking there. It's a baseball game, not a freakin' nightclub! And I notice they aren't alone in this way of "watching" a baseball game. And don't get me started on all the between-inning noise. How I long for the days when you could sit down and watch a game and actually hear what was happenning on the field.

I'm with ya on that clement.

It's why I keep score at most games I attend, and have taught my daughter to do the same. She has the same problem with her friends, and tells me that it's hard for her to concentrate on the game when she doesn't use a scorecard.
