Kenny Shea (played by John Scurti) 
on baseball & life on Rescue Me

"Anyway, baseball and life, one in the same. Everybody always says that life is too short. Bullshit. Life, unless you get hit by a bus or cancer, or set on fire, takes forever. Just like baseball. It's a series of long, mind-boggling boring stretches of time where absolutely nothing happens. So, you take a nap, and then after a little while, when that crisp crack of the bat hittin' the ball, so crisp, you could almost smell that wood burning, jolts you awake and you open your eyes to see something so exciting and intricate, and possibly, very, very meaningful that just happened, but you missed it 'cause you were just so goddamn bored in the first place. Oh, you know, a couple of hot dogs, throw in some beers, the occasional blow job, and that's that."

(Looks over to see Sean napping, someone gets a hit and he startles awake.)
