You either love the game or you don't. I personally love the mechanics of the game, the fact that the ball remains in the hands of one team for a specific period of time (unlike soccer & hockey where it's constantly changing sides), and the color guys are interesting to listen to as they fill you in on the whys and wherefores of certain pitches and plays.

There really is a lot of cerebral, strategic element to the game. It's one of two team sports where I enjoy the sport itself so much I will watch any team playing.
Now... bring on the French Open!
Isn't it the Greatest when The Red Sox Play The Jankees! Life is good. I'm with you, I'll watch any game. Scratch away! You have to be looking for it to really notice it. They are not itchy their nervous.
