Mike,

Am I detecting sour grapes?  Gee whiz!  Don't you care about anything
sacred and holy like the Great Murkin Pastime?

Let's see...  How did I describe the game to an Aussie friend of mine?  Oh
yeah.  You see these 9 guys stand around in a grassy field scratching their
privates in public and spitting tobacco juice while two similarly dressed
fellows play a game of "catch".  Another guy, dressed differently, tries to
break up their little game of catch with a piece of lumber.  The
entertaining part, as I see it, is getting to watch the grass in the field
grow.
