The 2010 World Series is about to be played!

This year, the Rangers make their World Series debut against the San Francisco Giants!

Will there be a postponement in a game? Will the Polo Ground Curse strike the Giants? Or will that curse be broken?

Lets go Rangers.

I don't really care who wins. What matters most is that my two most hated teams, the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers, aren't in it.

My theory for why the 2010 World Series ratings were so low:
*Too much competition, whether it was from Sunday Night Football on NBC during Game 4 and Monday Night Football on ESPN during Game 5, college football during Game 3, or Dancing with the Stars on ABC.

*The Giants won all of their games relatively easily (via blow outs to put it in other words). I'm highly sure that if the games were more closely contested, viewers would've been mo re inclined to watch longer.

*FOX and to a lesser extent, ESPN arguably pays more attention during the regular season to East Coast teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Mets and Phillies. So naturally, when two Western Division teams (that aren't the Dodgers of course) are in the World Series, that lack of interest probably going to spill over to the coverage.

*The Cablevision dispute that only got settled prior to Game 3.

*Many fans simply don't like having to putting up with Joe Buck and Tim McCarver calling the games and would rather simply settle with the radio (assuming of course, that people don't sync the radio coverage with the TV volume down).
