No doubt it will be good Hossy, and believe me it's not sour grapes because the Sox don't deserve to be there, but in an ESPN poll prior to the NCLS and the ALCS, of the four possible match-ups, the one the fans least wanted to see was Phillies-Rays. Personally, I have no interest in either team.

I always kind of chuckle at the ratings. Nobody ever asked me what I watch. How relevant are they? Who do the ratings actually represent?

That said, no doubt Boston is more "popular" than Tampa, but using ratings as a yardstick is not the best way of measuring that popularity.

Fair enough...but I hope you can convince the whiners on here when they start complaining about the ratings for the Breeder's Cup.
