The Giants win the Series! Too bad no one cared...

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...
