If you need an example why people actually have come out and said publicly that certain teams need to be rigged to championships, I submit the ratings for the 2010 World Series:
The 2010 World Series has been the worst-rated in history, earning joint "honors" with the 2008 Series between Philadelphia and Tampa Bay.
The 2010 Series was rated an average of 28% lower than the 2009 Series between the Phillies and...
... the Yankees.
Sunday night's Game 4 was actually defeated by the NFL Sunday night game, the first time in history this had ever occurred. (The football game got a 10.7. The World Series got a 9.0)
And even though Monday's World Series game was on a network and Monday Night Football is on cable now, MNF was watched by about 80% of the audience size of the clinching game of the World Series.
Yeah, $elig's not going to see this and panic, especially with that pitching staff in San Francisco. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...
