Just curious how you East Coast guys like staying up until 1:00 am to see the end of the games?

Ok, since baseball season is now over, lock this thread immediately.

Some of us aren't even interested in the beginning of the game, much less the end. IMHO, this has been a very boring, predictable world series.

BTW, congrats to the Red Sux (as much as it pains me to say so).

The World Series was so dull that there is, I think, just one thread on the baseball side (what if Ellsbury dropped the ball after flipping it out of his glove during a catch?). Zzzzzz...

Congrats, Chuck. I knew the ALCS was the real series.

That would be a voluntary release, not a drop.

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.
