2000 12.4 21
2001 15.7 25
2002 11.9 20
2003 13.9 25
2004 15.8 25
2005 11.1 19
2006 10.1 17

there are the ratings for the last 7 WS. Yankees Mets out drew last years Tigers-Cards and outdrew the Chisox-Astros as well as the Angels-Giants WS.

So your point is?

These scrappy underdog Yankees just won't say die! I love a good story.

Also, I started a new blog last night while watching Francona walk to the mound, but haven't found the best photos yet. Please pass any along that you might find: [titostetas.blogspot.com]

Griffey played 144 games this year. That's a lot for a 37 year old outfielder. So, y'know, maybe Uncle Miltie's Pat Jokes for Daily Closer needs an update.

@UkraineNotWeak: It helps when the team you're "rooting" for poses no potential threat in the playoffs.

Last year I was actually pulling for the Cards to hold on and win the Central Division because I figured they'd be easier prey in the playoffs. That turned out great.

Wouldn't it be fun to see this year's version of the Sox with nasty trucker facial hair like 2004. I can only imagine the women of Boston loving that on Pedroia/Ellsbury/Okajima/Paps... that is if they're old enough to even grow facial hair.

The Marlins pushed back Dontrelle Willis' start a day so he could face Tom Glavine tonight.

The way he's pitched this year, I can't tell if Florida wants to help out the Phillies or the Mets.

Or maybe they just want his bat in the lineup.
