Really? Boring? Obviously, I'm biased, but I thought the games themselves were pretty darn good, except for Game 1. Game 2 was a 2-1 pitching duel. Game 3 was a 1-run game in the 7th inning after a terrific comeback by the Rockies. And last night was a 1-run game with a deep fly out in the 9th that would've been a game-tying HR in a lot of other ballparks. And even in Game 1, there was a great pitching performance by Beckett to appreciate.
From a ratings perspective, I know that it's better to have a longer series, but I thought the games were not boring.
