Its that time of year again as baseball finally ends and only a few really have intense interest in the outcome of a possible long seven game series. Most sports fans are interested in the lowest mid season NFL game than the outcome of the North American World baseball championship classic. It doesn't help that the same dull uninteresting teams keep getting into the finals as this year sees the St Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox in the fall classic yet again. I don't know how these baseball towns that support MLB very well can keep finding themselves into the World Series.
I was in a bar and noticed this past weekend that the vast majority of the young folks had much more interest for the college football games on the TV screen and nobody was watching the one screen that had the World Series. the only people who ever seem to show any interest in the world series these days at bars are the really old ones that can recall watching Ernie Banks and Minnie Miniso. That is for the Chicago region for all I know and I know St Louis and Boston are baseball towns still and that is mainly due to the fact that they win all of the time and some idiot fans of those teams in rural hick areas need to feel a part of a nation. That's right in the past few years these baby boomer baseball fans have formed Red Sox nation and Cardinal nation. Pretty pathetic for people in Joplin Missouri who need to feel a part of a baseball team. I'm sure those nations would find a flood of migrants to the NFL had they not dominate in the postseason the way they have in the past decade. baseball blows and most people attending are there for the beer and special event. These two teams are America's suppose teams as the Wall Street Journal recently proclaimed because they are winners not because they have such loyal followings .If you ever had strong NFL teams in Boston itself and St Louis most of these fools in those twin cities would not have such a special place for boring baseball in their hearts. I rather watch Matt Ryan get his head smashed in the ground that this series. it is about as exciting as the little league series..
