World Series nightmare matchup

If it was The Giants against the Yankees the ratings would be much better. I'm not sure who the Rangers could play to have higher ratings but perhaps the Cubs because of their history with the goat.
 
Game 4 tonight should be a good one- The Giants will go with 21 year old Madison Bumgarner (7-6 in 18 starts with a 3.00 ERA in regular season), and the Rangers will start 24 year old Tommy Hunter (13-4 in 22 starts, with a 3.73 ERA)-

MLB and the networks can only blame themselves for the disinterest in these 2 teams. All year the networks and MLB promote their favorite teams and their stars, so the general public and casual fans probably think the Rangers and Giants are teams from the Pacific Coast League. If the networks and MLB would have spent a little more time showing teams like this, and promoting the young stars they have, maybe more people would want to watch.
 
Da Coach I agree! If you have not seen Buster Posey yet (and what a great baseball name) and you are a baseball fan your missing a special talent. You should also listen to composure that this 21 year old rookie has. I'm a huge fan and I'd bet every single one of you guys that post here would be.
 
I guess when the Giants return to the WS next year, and play (and beat) the Yankees, or the Red Sox, or the White Sox, ratings can only go up!

Darn Rangers killed the ratings this year....

The Rangers were all hat and no cattle!
 
Not too many native Bay Area folks end up in Illinois/Peoria! I was part of that minority for 15 years of my Cat career before returning West after retiring.

Another sad reality is the number of SF Giant Fans who are 'herbally impaired' and can't figure out how to turn computers/smart phones on and post in the electronic age! :lol::lol:
