Amazing, eh... the TV rating for the NLCS and ALCS will be higher than for the World Series.

I did some research. The Red Sox have won 10 Pennants and 5 World Series in their history. This is statistically almost exactly what you would expect if championships were distributed randomly. In other words, you guys have had your share. Unfortunately, you'd have to be at least in your 90's to remember much of it.

The Red Sox were the 'Yankees' of the first decade and a half of the World Series. They won a third of the first 15 played. I'll bet those fans were just as obnoxious as Yankee fans are now.

If anyone has a right to whine, its Phillies fan. In 120 years, they won only five pennants and one World Series. They might have expected to win 13 pennants and 5 World Series in that time. Houston and Texas fans also have a combined 83 years without a pennant (although the first ten years or so with Texas were in Washington DC).

I agree. Who gives a rat's ass. Without the Red Sox or Cubs, Fox Sports is the real loser. No one cares except Yankee fans.
