Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers on their defeat of the New York Yankees four games to one. I didn't watch any of the games, because they are too long and boring. But, I did read the Associated Press stories and it will not go down as a great series.
I will post my annual time and lack of action blogs in the coming day or two. To give you an idea of what I mean, Game 1 lasted 3:27. (It went one extra inning before the Dodgers won on a walk-off grand slam by Freddie Freeman; one of the few highlights of the five game championship).
There were 24 trips to the plate in game one which the ball was not put into play. There were 17 strikeouts (three by the Yankees Mike Judge), six walks and one hit batsman. All just a waste of fans time.
One final thought on the completed series, Game Three of the "Fall Classic" just barely beat a mid-season NFL game in the night's TV rating. You would think the baseball championship would have fared much better in the rating than the Steelers and Giants.
