Giants have been doing this all year...they win ugly.. Rangers knocked off the two best AL teams... sweet!
Fox is in mourning right now. This will be one of the lowest-rated World Series in a loooong time.

Texas- San Francisco is certainly not the match up the network wanted. But if they can play some great baseball the viewers will tune in.

I have not heard this said so far, but I think the difference in the series will be the Ranger's ability to steal bases. Rangers in 5.

Rangers will be tough with a rested Cliff Lee. Not having to pitch against the Yankees in Game 7 was a huge help to them.

Default should be interesting

The ratings could surprise, although it won't matter much either way. TV ratings for the World Series have been bad for awhile, and the last 5 series have been the 5 lowest watched since 1968. By comparison, the ratings for the 1991 Twins-Braves Series were more than 2 1/2 times higher than last year's Yankees-Phils series.

This one should be higher than the worst---2008 between Philly and Tampa. That was an established Eastern team that hadn't been there in 15 years vs. a Cinderella from a fairly populous Eastern state. Let's see how the people of California and Texas represent. If it goes 6 or 7 seven games, I think Fox will be pleasantly surprised.

Todd, weather also screwed up any chances the Philly-TB series had. But true, there was just no interest there. And the Braves, due to TBS, were "America's Team." Can't say the same about the Giants and Rangers. Unless it's a blockbsuter Series, it doesn't bode well Fox.

Default ratings etc....

Well, I think the ratings will be fine with the populations from both states watching more of the series than they normally would. As a tried and true fairweather fan, it's sunny here in Big D . I will be one fan that is watching most, if not all games, and probably would have taken in about 3-6 total innings otherwise. regards

Was at game last night, had a great time, other than Phils losing and $7.50 beers

Love Ryan Howard, but he did squat.


Baseball wise, how great was it to see Wilson bat !!!
