WS Ratings suck! Thank you, FOX! Ouch! Was FOX partly to blame for the abyssmal ratings or the two teams competing? You would think the Series would be more compelling considering the history of the two teams, but I guess not.

FIFA against video-assisted referee testing ...unless, of course, it is doing the testing.

morgan and mccarver provide good commentary for knowledgeable baseball fans. morgan is in the hall of fame and mccarver also has world series rings and spent much of his career catching two of the greatest pitchers in the history of the game in gibson and carlton. when major league players fail to do their job on the field, (get down a sac bunt or hit a cut off man to keep a runner out of scoring position)they should be held accountable. the announcers should point this out and good teams are ones which limit these failures. not liking announcers who take issue with these failures on the field is akin to not understanding why some teams win and lose .i understand the 8:30 start time allows for 5:30 on the west coast but i think they are losing more viewers on the east by doing this. these late start times coupled with two teams without a great playoff tradition (yankess, red sox, cardinals, dodgers, etc.) probably have the most to do with lower ratings. enjoy morgan and mccarver while you can, their comments are excellent and if you pay attention you might learn something from two guys with 4-5 thousand actual major league games under their belts!!!!
