Six shutouts in one day. That's entertainment?

Saturday's games included six shutouts including Tampa over the Yankees at The Stadium 1-0.

Who the heck wants to see that?  Who actually thinks that a pitching duel is interesting much less entertaining.

The irony is that the only thing that kept the tenure of Major Baseball League (MBL) commissioner Allen Huber "Bud" Selig from being a 100% disaster was the high scoring and home run hitting fueled by steroid use.  Now Selig is denigrating his product trying to rid the MBL of steroids.  A byproduct: longer, more boring games with less action.

How is less better than more?
