World Series

With Boston destroying Colorado, the real loser were not the Rockies or their fans, but the broadcast network. After Colorado's easy victories and Boston's close series with Cleveland, networks were hoping for some large numbers. However, the relative ease with which Boston won would spur only Red Sox nation followers to closely follow the series and the long, late night, games. I would not be surprised if rating for the series declined over 15% from last year.
Gil-

Postscript- I was wrong. The numbers just came out (a day after I posted this blog) and the rating were up 5% over the 2006 Series. But with a 10.6% average rating the games represented the second-lowest rated Series since they have been tracking the ratings. The last three years represent the lowest rated three world series ever.
