Um, no it doesn't.

Do some research.

Maybe the low ratings had something to do with the late start of the games. Lots of east coasters were probably in bed on the weekday games.

Rob Kremer:

Good point!

I stayed up to watch all of them except the 2 AM game. I watched it until the White Sox scored and I said that's it. They've won this one. And headed off to bed.

IMO, a real baseball fan would prefer a pitching match up to a home run barrage.

A TV audience is a poor place to hunt for real fans. Casual fans probably outnumber the "real" type at least 5-1.

Well someone MAY be understanding of what was posted. Someone who really truly understands baseball will enjoy a great pitching matchup to a hitfest anyday, but most of the viewing audience for the WS tune into for entertainment (unless it is their own team).

We tried to watch the WS on our 13 inch battery powered TV, but it was difficult so we listened on the radio, which was not that enjoyable. It seemed by the second game, with all of the mess down here, it just wasn't important who won or lost.

TigerPawMom:

I'll give you an "E" for effort. Thanks for trying. It really was a good series with so many close games.

I trust everything is allright after the last storm?

I either watched or listened to every game - and I could give a fig for either team. It was a great series full of solid pitching on both sides, great small ball, controversial calls and excellent clutch hitting. I was only sorry that it was over so quickly!

Beenthere-
Maybe you should have stopped at one word,(sorry) for you.

Hirrel...Not sure who you are and I really don't care what you think.

If you don't believe that the tv numbers were skewed by the fact that the Red Sox and Yankees (both LOSERS this year)were not participants, that is ok, too.

Have a little edge in your remarks.

Knock yourself out.

For you, I should have "stopped" typing after the first 2 sentences...
beenthere-
I was just asking a question, it was you with the remarks. then if you don't care what i think then don't answer me back,i apoligize if I came on sounding nasty to you.

Hirrel...

Sorry...I TOTALLY misinterpreted your comments.

jp

Isnt there a load of love in the room!!!!!

Load of what?!

Is that moose loose again!

Personally, I could care less about the ratings.

I'm just happy that the Astros made it to the WS. Maybe the next time they are there, they will play like they've been there before.

Also was nice to the White Sox there, after a long drought.

Beenthere-
There is no need to say your sorry for a misinterpreted comment. i would just like to say that the last thing i would like to happen is for me to stir up any issue's with you or anyone from this great web-site, it has helped me and my son out so very much. and i do apoligize for the question i posted to you,i should and will keep my comments to myself.J.H.

Texan:

Thanks for the nice thoughts.

I didn't know how the Series was all going to turn out at the time but I was sure rooting and pulling for the Astros in that long game against the Braves! Who couldn't wish Clemen's the best that day?

I hope your Astros can win it all too...just not against the White Sox!

Hirrel 13:

For a little mirth and frivolity, moosey on over to the 'Goof on the Moose' thread and bleat away!

Gotwood-
NO THANK-YOU, I'am finished.

just my opinion but the whitesox kinda bore me. I don't know what it is though. I didn't care much who won this series, I just was not into it. I was also a little bummed that my phils were not in it and the astros were. But hey, what are ya gonna do. Anyway, true baseball fans watched the world series anyway. And that is what I did, although it wasn't my favorite.

Hirrel,
Don't ever stop posting because someone ruffled your feathers when it was not necessary.
Chances are it wasn't you to begin with.

Gotwood,
Yes, as true baseball fans we tried to follow the series. We also appreictate good pitching matchups. Games were close, as son always says, those are the games you live and die for.

I am not an Astros or a Sox fan. I just feel that the Cards might have added some spark and class to the series.

TPM,

You kidding?

You put the Metsies in the Series - and then you have spark and class.

Cards - nah. They got nothing on the Minaya Mets.

Hirrel 13:

Please take Tiger Paw Mom's advice and hang around. The more the merrier as they say!

Its,

Well, actually we do follow the Mets due to former Tiger Kris Benson.

So ok, here goes... Would have been a better series with classy Mets vs. White Sox

I owe you now TPM.

LOL

Tiger Paw Mom:

LaRussa is passe... for spark Ozzie's the man!

As for class...I guess that's a toss up when you consider the team. Kenny Williams, in my opinion, is a class act!

URKillingMeBlue:

Thanks for watching the series and actually admitting that you liked it!

Tiger Paw Mom:

Your son at least valued and enjoyed the drama in the pitching matchups... please thank him!

gotwood,
I don't think my son would be playing if it wasn't for those nail biting, heart and gut wrenching kind of games. Gives the body a chance to experience adreneline first hand.
For me, they make me sick sometimes, especially when your own flesh and blood is on the mound.

Tiger Paw Mom:

I know how nerve wracking it can be to watch your own son out on the mound...but have faith in his ability. If he wasn't capable or willing he wouldn't be out there!

When my son pitches I go around the park and pick up trash while glancing over my shoulder to keep track of the action. I think my son actually likes that! I know the groundskeeper does!

watts1931:

Try watching paint dry... that might perk you up!

White Sox fans certainly weren't bored this year!

Gotwood-
them last two posts are pretty funny, and believe me i'm not going any place, and as always the advice TPM gives is always good,just like alot of others give.

Hirrel 13:

Unfortunately for all of the others..I've got more!

watts1931:

Sorry if I jumped on you too hard with the 'paint drying' remark. Watching paint dry is supposed to be very boring, as the cliche goes, and I reasoned that if you were extremely bored with the White Sox then perhaps merely watching paint dry may perk you up.

I hope your Phillies come around soon and win the big one...then you can send me to the freshly painted corner and then I can watch the paint dry!

lol...Go White Sox!

Repeat in '06.

TPM---

I second your emotions.

I watched them all rather impassively this year. Not sure why, really...I was happy that two teams that haven't "been there" WERE.

Speaking of Beenthere...not a snowball's chance in hell they'll repeat. You can write that down. Go TRIBE! (AND A FEW OTHER FAVS).
