One somewhat attenuated reason for New Yorkers to watch the World Series
Oct 27, 2010, 3:35 PM EDT
If I had a dime for each Phillies or Yankees fan I’ve heard say that they didn’t plan on watching the World Series I’d, well, I wouldn’t be rich, but I’d have a bunch of dimes. Maybe I can see not watching the whole series, but if you’re a baseball fan and you’re not watching Lee vs. Lincecum tonight, well, God help you.
If you’re a New Yorker and you still can’t get into it, then at least do me a favor and read these columns from Gary Hoenig an Filip Bondy, each of whom take a walk down New York Giants memory lane. Granted, there’s a bit of “Hey! Remember that New York is the center of baseball!” that likely went into these stories even being written, but even if that’s a tad annoying, it happens to be true.
Good stuff.

As a Yankee fan, I’d rather watch the Series than read Filip Bondy.

I’ll be watching, but not religiously. I won’t be hanging on every pitch. If I drink enough, the hat on Cliffy’s head will eventually turn red with a scripted P on it, and his uni will turn to red and white pinstripes, right?

I won’t be watching a pitch. I’m going car shopping tonight, then I’ll watch some Sixers as they play the NBA’s version of the Borg.

My team hasn’t one a thing since Teddy Roosevelt’s era, but I’m more excited about this series than any other one in recent memory.
A team that hasn’t won it since 1954 vs. a team with a pitching staff out of nowhere that’s never won it is very exciting for nearly any baseball fan.

I can guarantee Mrs. 5 won’t let him watch the game if his deck is half as big as he claims it is.

As big as his head is getting about his deck, I’m sure she has plans out the wazoo.

I have a hard enough time watching Yankee games on FOX. I will not be able to stomach Buck and McCarver for 3+ plus hours a game when the Yankees aren’t playing. But I would like to see the Rangers win and will keep an eye on the score.

You can stream the local radio broadcast through mlb.com if you want to listen to the game muted, but there is a delay. Why a Wanker fan would have a problem with FOX, Schmuck and McCarebear is a riddle, though.
