Who are O's Fans rooting for in World Series

I loved the occasional afternoon World Series game.

The last one was in 1987, when the Twins stayed alive in Game Six to even their series with the Cardinals at 3 apiece. Les Straker was the Twins' starter that day.

And the first night game was game four of the '71 series, O's vs. Pirates in Pittsburgh.

Do they know their equivalents in the EPL?

They know most of the starting 11 for Tottenham, Messi and The Biter (obviously not EPL), the evil Wayne Rooney, and some random assorted others.

I have to think they and the advertisers have thought this through and come to the conclusion that virtually no one watching the first four innings west of the Mississippi during weekdays is worse than the current alternative.

Sure, but there is a reason baseball is becoming less popular with kids. One reason may be not being able to watch World Series games through to the end.

You need to sticky this for whenever someone says "obviously the O's can't expect to get through a playoff series with X in the rotation."

There are many reasons, and World Series start times are probably one relatively minor one. But if you're not a big baseball fan already you probably don't care that the Mets-Royals game doesn't start until nearly bed time.

Does anyone know what the ratings were this year yet?

Only twice now have I not watched a single pitch in the World Series, the other was the Phillies/Yankees series in '09.

I'd watch every pitch if Fux Sports, and MLB.TV would let me. :angryfire:
