This true Jack, but like I said, I’m just guessing and it’s certainly true that I could be giving the haters too much credit. Isn’t that sad to say though…life is too friggin’ short in my opinion.
As for me, the wife and I will settle down in front of a movie and have some quality time together. (and probably snitch a piece of candy or two from the three year old’s bucket

I’m not convinced it’s the haters. I haven’t watched more than a few innings of the games yet because even though I’d like the Yankees to lose, I don’t feel like wasting my time hating them.

That’s the thing though. You’re not the average hater. For every one of you, there are about ten people who do feel like wasting their time hating the Yanks.

I have Vacation to use, but unlike years past, I’m not scheduling it around the series (I work nights). The major difference, if I had to guess, is the 10 million New Yorkers that are watching the series this year, but maybe didn’t watch it last year. Again, that’s a guess, I have no data to back it up.

I stand corrected, last year’s WS had the worst ratings of the decade.

34% and 48% increase in Games 1 and 2, respectively?
Wow, I guess the Yankee haters are good for something.

Good points. However, if I remember correctly, the 2000 WS had the lowest ratings of this decade–or close to it–along with the 2006 Tigers-Cardinals series.

I think a lot of people would like the Yankees to get their asses kicked and tune in to see it.

Baseball is not over and I’m missing it already. Love baseball, hate the holidays. Winter is very long.

There are only 16 football games; 16 chances to watch your team play.

There are 162+ baseball games. I know people who wouldn’t sacrifice watching their football game even for a playoff baseball game. Bet that hasa lot to do w/ratings.
