NLCS

[Biff]

Low viewership doesn't mean it's crummy baseball being played. Good baseball is good baseball, regardless of how many people are watching the game on their TV. Good baseball is not a yawn-fest, to use your words.

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.

That might be correct but that wasn't your contention in the post I replied to. You said it would be a "Yawn Fest" and to "wake [you] when it's over".

Oh it absolutely was.

No it wasn't at all. You said nothing about ratings. You indicated that YOU had no interest in it.

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.

You're saying that NOW.

No one in here can say that they will be as pumped up to watch the freaking Phillies play the cinderella Rays.

Bullshit. I already said it. The baseball board I moderate has a lot of people pumped for this series.

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.

Who cares? That wasn't your original contention when you said it was going to put YOU to sleep.

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.

And I continue to contend that if you aren't excited to watch a series between two teams that are solid top to bottom then you are not a "hardcore" baseball fan. You're probably a fan but it sounds like you're a fan of any series not involving small market teams.
