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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
