Agree. Even if the Rangers was not playing, I would still watch. It’s frustrating with all this ratings talk. Listen to any national sports talk show and they were already killing the WS before last night with the possibility of Arizona making it. I get it, majority of them wants a championship that has a big market/big brand team playing. They are hating that an 84 win Arizona team is playing in the WS but wouldn’t react the same if it was a 84 win Yankee, Mets, or Dodgers team. Heard some complain and question if the format needs to be changed.

This WS is very interesting and I think it has a ton of great storylines to build on. If the media would get their head out of their arse and promote some of these storylines, more people may take interest and give this WS a chance.
