Rangers/Giants would kill ratings outside each local market. And as a baseball fan in general, even I wouldn't be going out of my way to watch like I would a bridge-tunnel series. Where's Arnold Rothstein??

I'd generally agree with the logic of what JG is saying there with the bigger ratings being better for baseball, but not after the Rangers just went into Yankee Stadium and completely shat all over their new ballpark for two nights in a row. Let the best teams play!

I think it's safe to say that the Phils and Yankees both are wishing Cliff Lee had stayed put.

I am so fucking pissed at Fox Network for making me miss the games. You should instead be pissed at your cable company?

I don't recall Comcast ever getting mixed up in that stuff in all the years I had them. I don't know about Verizon, we'll see -- but they both sure charge enough that I can't see it happening. It sure is common in NYC, though -- you didn't even get YES right away, did you?

From what I understand the networks charge the cable companies to carry them, and cable carrier in turn has to charge the subscriber accordingly.
So Cablevision is correct in fighting Fox and My 9 networks (channels 5 and 9 in my neck of the woods), for trying to charge exhorbitantly for channels that should still be part of 'free' television.
I recall something similar happening with my carrier, Time Warner, several times over the past 10+ years. We would get the warnings of impending doom, however, an agreement was always able to be reached prior to us losing any coverage.

Unless a miracle happens in the 9th inning, I'm going to guess that Texas will play in the World Series, and deservedly so. The Yankees played badly, no doubt about it. Aw c'mon, Babe, admit it.... you jinxed the Yankees by not posting on the boards these past few days.

The Rangers were younger and hungrier. Not much more to say. If not for the miracle comeback in game one, this would have been a sweep. Go Giants! I want a small market World Series. I'm tired of these networks holding the fans hostage .

My first live baseball game ever (I still have the picture) was a Mets-Giants game at Shea in 1965. I got Willie McCovey's autograph that day. Didn't the Giants have another Willie playing for them at that time? I forget his last name.....
