    Is this the WORST WS in recent memory??
    I swear, i haven't watched more than like 3 innings of the entire thing. No one really cares who wins outside of their home towns. Even out watched by a REGULAR SEASON Sunday night football game.

    Pathetic is the word, i think baseball is close to matching Hockey for fan interest...

      One of the more boring ones that's for sure. Only people watching are the people with $ on it and the Giants and Rangers fans

            its basically forgotten. Used to be where the WS was the biggest thing going, now regular season SNF and MNF games have surpassed it.

                  I have money on it, and still think its unwatchable. Two boring teams, I hate to say it.

                      I have no interest either, MLB needed Yanks or Phils, ratings must be awful

                          I love it

                          Got a dime on Giants +165

                          I've barely even wagered on football since the Giants been in the Postseason

                          Let's just say.. If you bet heavy on the Giants every single game in the Postseason.. then you will be having a Merry fukking Christmas!!!

                          Couldn't have come at a better time

                              If the Yankees are playing in the WS, I pay less than no attention. At least this was different.

                                                In case you hadn't noticed, the last seven years have been lopsided World Series results. Five games or less six times.

                                                  How many times did the underdog win these?

                                                        Very true:

                                                        NEW YORK – November 1, 2010 – Last night’s “Sunday Night Football” game was the most-watched primetime program on Sunday Night for the eighth straight week, according to fast national data released today by The Nielsen Company. The game, featuring the last two Super Bowl champions in a Halloween showdown in New Orleans, in which the Saints defeated the Steelers 20-10, was seen by an average of 18.1 million people (from 8:31-11:21 p.m. ET).

                                                        There is no year-to-year comparison for this SNF game because last night was the first time that NBC “Sunday Night Football” went head-to-head with the World Series. SNF out-drew World Series Game 4 by 17 percent (18.1 million for SNF vs. 15.5 million for the World Series). The household rating for last night’s “Sunday Night Football” game was a 10.7/17.

                                                            Ye about 25-1

                                                            Sometime in late August they were 34-1

                                                            4th of July was their ultimate lowpoint of the season I'd imagine they were something like 60-1 or 100-1 then, but I can't confirm. Maybe it's less. Somebody knows?
