Nothing Rhymes with Orange
The guy in the orange Miami Marlin Jersey at the World Series got a lot of press in Miami today and according to reports he is a long time season ticket holder. How folks spend their money, is their own business. OMG someone is actually talking about the Miami Marlins. Royals brass wanted to stash him in a sky box, unsuccessfully.
The television ratings for the game were dismal if you think everybody or maybe more folks should be watching the World Series like we did in "the good old days".
I've been to four baseball games in person this year and find baseball in person entertaining, low key, and a good place to visit throughout the game. I think the relative lack of interest in baseball at this time of year is almost entirely related to the calendar. If a New York Team or Boston was playing Chicago or Los Angeles there would be more interest. But up until last night's game, the playoff games have been interesting. I heard someone complain about the fact that neither team lead their division and that somehow wild card had diluted the product of the World Series.
Maybe if Lebron James and Peyton Manning could suit up for the Royals or the Giants there might be a little more interest.
Too many cable channels and last night NHL, NBA, MLB, had live games on TV. The NCAA and NFL were showing replays, and CBS Tuesday Night had NCIS. The sports viewing audience is splintered and college basketball is just around the corner.
Or maybe the games should start at about 5:00 pm. Most of the kids are out of school, happy hour at the bars, early bird dinners for the AARP Crowd and then we can all go home or turn in at a reasonable hour.
