I said nothing in regards to the quality of the competition. I was merely implying that those two teams are not exactly going to be a high profile World series.

Oh it absolutely was.

I'm saying there is probably going to be a direct correlation to those teams being opponents in the World Series to the probability of this Series being the least watched of all time.

No one in here can say that they will be as pumped up to watch the freaking Phillies play the cinderella Rays. Most of the people who will be excited to watch this Series will be those fans whose said teams are playing in it. It's not going to be as high profile as any Series in the recent past.

Sure the games might be good but you absolutely will not see any kind of overwhelming numbers in regards to TV viewers. We already know that hardly any Rays fans will care enough to watch, much less attend. Hell, they don't even come to the Rays home games and they've been leading the best division in baseball for months.

Good baseball or not, it will be a Series that hardcore fans, like myself, will not care to sit and watch...much less anyone that has even any mild interest in the sport.
