Watching the World Series Tonight

Fox and Cablevision finally came to an agreement. Right now I have channel 5 on and am watching the World Series for the first time this year. It's the bottom of the 2nd, and Nelson Cruz just hit a lead-off double with no score. And while yes, I know that I could have chosen to get the MLB.tv package and receive a $9.95 credit from Cablevision before Fox came back on the air, it's not the same watching it on the computer as it is watching it on television.

Tonight is effectively a must-win for the Rangers, who are down 2-0 after losing both games in San Francisco. The only team in baseball history to come back from a 3-0 deficit is the 2004 Boston Red Sox, when they fell behind the Yankees 3-0 in the ALCS, won the next 4 to win the ALCS and then swept the Cardinals in the World Series to break the Curse of the Bambino. However, no team has ever come back from down 3-0 in the World Series.

All I have to say right now: Finally! I'm looking forward to watching some good baseball after missing the entire NLCS and the first two games of the World Series.

Go Giants!
