One thing - the Rangers went out and picked up some good players at the trade deadline.

Game one was a classic. That will be tough to beat.

Arizona was 2’outs away from winning both road games. Both teams have had impressive runs.

It is fun watching when you really don't have a dog in the hunt.

The away team is 22-16 in the playoffs so far. So much for home field advantage.

And it looks like the Rangers will put the nail in the coffin.
This has been the least watched World Series in history. Anyone have an idea of what to do about the steady decline of the Fall Classic? I realize not necessarily a lot of band wagon fans for these teams, but it has been steadily dropping over the past 7 or 8 years. Can baseball survive as something more than a minor sport?

meant to watch some, didn't. i guess they still do 2-3-2 instead of 2-2-1-1-1, which i think is lame.
Congrats to Rangers and their fans, must feel good to get the WS.

I watched parts of the game. The Rangers were no hit for six innings. Then they put up three straight hits to take a 1 to 0 lead. And then in the 9th - they broke it open with a 4 run inning.
They were 11-0 in playoff road games. Unheard of.

Joe Brinkman used to have an umpire school in brevard county as well, WAY back in the day, as well as Clint Hurdle's Big League Experience Camp.
Shit, maybe i should have stuck with baseball.

I spent the last week in Texas presenting a class. Valuable lesson, cancel classes when the local team is playing in the WS.
