The World Series

By jeremyblachman

I have yet to watch a moment of the World Series, and I'm not entirely sure why.

Part of it is that I haven't been home at the start of any of the games, and I've gone to sleep early all three nights, so the most I would have seen is some middle innings.

Part of it is, especially as a Mets fan, I don't really have a rooting interest.

And even without a rooting interest, that usually leads me to root for underdogs-- the Phillies won last year's world series, and the Yankees can never be the underdog.  There is no underdog.

Part of it is that postseason stats don't count in fantasy baseball.

Part of it is that I have not yet converted my wife into a baseball fan, although her baseball game tolerance has somewhat increased.

Part of it is that we're not at the elimination games yet, and those are always the most interesting.

Maybe I'll watch tonight.  Maybe.
