Then again, maybe it will be Phili-Tampa. I do know one thing.....this entire post makes me want to make a huge bet on the Phillies.

I hope you did this.

I would, as a Phillies fan, like to thank kasept for making this thread! mush on baby!

I would rather tune into a 65 and over curling match than watch a World Series between the Rays and Phillies. The Breeder's Cup is now in no danger of losing any Horse racing fan to this ratings debacle the World Series will turn out to be.

No offense, but I'll watch the Rays in a World Series but will/would not have watched a game of the Carmines again.

to each his own, but the Rays are a great story and an exciting team, and that's coming from a White Sox fan

That's you, and as people are saying, "to each their own", but we'll see what the ratings say.

I always kind of chuckle at the ratings. Nobody ever asked me what I watch. How relevant are they? Who do the ratings actually represent?

That said, no doubt Boston is more "popular" than Tampa, but using ratings as a yardstick is not the best way of measuring that popularity.

Fair enough...but I hope you can convince the whiners on here when they start complaining about the ratings for the Breeder's Cup.

No doubt it will be good Hossy, and believe me it's not sour grapes because the Sox don't deserve to be there, but in an ESPN poll prior to the NCLS and the ALCS, of the four possible match-ups, the one the fans least wanted to see was Phillies-Rays. Personally, I have no interest in either team.

I didn't watch 5 innings of the Sox-Rockies Series last year.

Well, there wasn't a lot of innings to watch.

I've been rooting for the Phillies. The possible Dodgers-in-Series element was an interesting sidebar to the BC.. Have to say at this point though, with Rays-Phils, I think I'd have to back Tampa.

Rays-Phils will be interesting for the local Florida fans as I'm sure there are tons of Phillies fans in the greater Tampa area because of Clearwater and its' long ties to the Phillies organization as winter home.
