Half-heartedly cheering for the Royals. Don't know if I'll even watch any bit of a game.

I will definitely be watching. Many reasons:

 

It's the last bit of meaningful baseball in forever.

 

It's the grandest stage of the game I love.

 

We have one of the smallest markets in the series and I would love to see good ratings.

 

I love baseball and could never skip the fall classic.

 

Hopefully all of you tune in too.

Isn't it kind of weird that the Series doesn't start until Tuesday? I'm surprised the first game wasn't scheduled for either tonight or tomorrow.

 

But yes, I plan to watch as much as I can, and will be cheering for the Royals. Don't really like the Giants and the Royals are just too good a story this year to not get behind.

Behold the power of football. (Which is probably more accurately stated as behold the power of televised football).

[TURBO]

I agree with Bombers and Invader, I'll be tuning into each and every game with the hopes that the Royals win and the freaking Giants lose!!!

This isn't weird at all. MLB had to plan out schedules to assume that each championship series would go the full seven games so the World Series dates were set out WAY in advance. This allows for people/corporations/sponsors to plan with hotel rooms, rental cars, etc. WAY in advance. Of course, these plans can be blown up with some rain outs of World Series games but at least the plan was in place.

 

I'm sure MLB could have moved the games up but it would have been a complete and utter disaster from a logistics standpoint for them.

[young guns]

But since you dont know what cities these games will be played in till the series' end, I dont think it would be that big of a disaster.

[pitchleague]

MLB books rooms in every MLB playoff team's city for this purpose. Obviously, when a team is eliminated, those rooms are released back to the public.

[DocLuna7]

I will also be watching every game. Like many of you here on this board I am very clearly addicted to baseball and this is the last fix of real live Major League Baseball until next spring which seems like an eternity away right now. Football is a very distant second and I pay literally no attention to it whatsoever until the World Series is done.

[LaprilOne]

I am watching. I can't buy into the bitter "I won't watch crowd." It's the World Series, baseball, I am a fan.

 

And as Ned Stark says "Winter is coming."

[TURBO]

I'm also gald that all games start at the same time... Just makes it easier.

[jjkoestler]

Predictions?

 

I'll take KC in 6.

[TURBO]

Sad to say it, but I'm going with the Giants in 5... I want KC to win it all, but not sure their magic can continue much longer.

 

I hope I am wrong.

Predictions?

KC sweep

[Bombers]

I am going for the Royals in 4 so they can be the first team to go un-defeated in the post season since the 76 Reds and the Big Red Machine. That team had a few good players (Bench, Rose, Morgan, Perez) ... With 3.5 hall of famers manning half of your positions, you don't even need pitching.

 

Anyhow, go Royals!!!!

[Bombers]

2nd and 3rd and no outs. No runs. Ugh, that is always so frustrating.

[jerichoholicninja]

Royals looking more like the Rockies.

[TURBO]

Nice play Aoki... What a let down this game has been...

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

woohoo nice game by the giants! i hope they sweep. can't stand anything from the state of missouri

[adamb100]

Guess the Royals didn't want to play Baseball today.

[brewers4eric]

After the pummeling the Giants put on the Brewers at the end of the year, I'll predict that they will take the series. The Royals bullpen allows them to play a six inning game, but the Giants are just as solid in their bullpen and seem to have more offense than the Royals.

[Bombers]

Just learned we drafted Hunter Pence in the 40th round in 2002 (obviously he didn't sign) ... He went on to be a 2nd round pick 2 years after that by the Astros.

[Invader3K]

Well, we have our selves a real Series after last night. Royals won 7-2.

[Bombers]

What a game
