I thought I was the only one who did that!*

Every now and then I fire up "MLB 06: The Show" (a Playstation 2 game)
and have it run in the background, with the CPU playing each team. It
does a surprisingly good job of recreating the sound and feel of
actually watching a game (minus the endless advertisements).

And I'm actually not that huge an American baseball fan; it just
happens that "MLB 06: The Show" has the best presentation of all the
sports games that I own. But it makes for good background chatter
while I'm working ;-)
