That's a very good question. I don't recall watching a ton of the games last year either. I think I just get burnt out on baseball somewhat after the Reds are done. Football starts and it becomes an after thought.

I would guess that is probably the same for the majority of sports fans. It will continue to be harder and harder for baseball to draw support in Oct going up against football.

Personaly I think "Who cares?" should be an option in the poll.

I successfully predicted the Cardinals in 5 against the Phillies, and the Cardinals in 6 against the Brewers. I'm on a roll, and I feel a sweep for this series. Rangers in 4.

 

Yes you did pick the Cards and kudos :thumb:. I am picking the Rangers in 5.

The Cryin' Cards........ Carpenter, Molina and Tony (I am God) Larussa are probably already thinking up a list of things to whine about in this series.

 

I am not a Rangers fan but I cannot stand St. Louis.

Let me ask this, HT I know you are a Reds fan so what two teams would you watch if the Reds aren't in it? I definitely think this is a problem baseball will need to address. I don't think I watched much of if any of last years WS. I will obvioulsy watch this year because of the Cardinals.

 

When I was younger I could list the two teams in the past 20 or so Series.

 

I can't tell you who played in last year's Series.

 

Zero chance on the year before that.

Based off of what I've seen, I'd guess that the Rangers' pitching staff are more likely to hold the Cardinals' bats in check than the other way around and I think the numbers might bear that out, but not by much. The teams have very similar offensive numbers this year, Texas with an .800 OPS and St. Louis with .766. That said, the Cardinals charged late and that can't be discounted this time of year. Anyone know where I can find team statistics split up by month? I'd be willing to bet that the Cardinals towered over every team in the league with their numbers in September.

I found why Tony is so dang angry all of the time.

Alot of you should be natural Cards fans, it's obvious you all have alot in common. A full season of The Cryin' BGP Reds fans on here in the commical Track the NL Champ Reds. The Cards on the other hand are on their 18 trip to the World Series.

Funny how some reds fan whine and cry about the cardinals whining and crying.

Rangers in 6 and have no reason why I picked it...

OR, jealousy does not become you.

Rangers in 7

^ I was a bit stunned at the number of measurable areas defensively in which the Cardinals performed below league average, but this team has played a VERY different game since Sept. 1 than they did for the first 135 or so games of the season. As I said yesterday, I just think the Rangers are more likely to hold the Cardinals bats in check than the other way around.
