don't care, because it is football season and baseball is just to kill the time until football starts (plus the cards are done).

Baseball season ended on Saturday for me. I don't care who is in the world series.

Based on that, I doubt a Phillies-Rays Series would be a disaster. Obviously times are completely different now than in 1980! Cable television! College football seemingly televised every night. Those two things by themselves make a dent in the World Series ratings. A Phillies-Rays series would not attract very many viewers west of the Mississippi.

Originally Posted by jbing Tada. There you have it. Ratings dud. I really don't think so. You have a team that hasn't been there for over 20 years and a team that just was created 10 years ago.
I watched the American League playoffs for the first time all October tonight, just to watch the Rays play.
I don't plan on missing a single out of the World Series.
Go Phillies!

Upton, Longoria, Victorino, Howard, Utley, Rollins... There are alot of big names in this series, these are the Arods and Jeters of the future...

Will you be doing a WS preview?
