That’s surprising to me. The Yanks are one win away from going to the WS and 10.4 million people were watching some mid-season football match up?

On another blog I was reading around the 7th inning last night some commenter was giving Giants updates.

Who freaking cares!?

I flipped back and forth between innings. Cards/Giants ended up being more entertaining for me. Then again I am a die hard yankee hater.

Each to his own, DonCoburleone. Me, I find watching the NFL send their over-fed zombie steers into combat to get the mob roaring, at the cost of dementia-producing head trauma, like watching paint dry, with little extra touches of sadism and sadness mixed in.

im sure there were plenty of giants fans who arent yankees fans who had a pretty easy decision.  i did not watch the yankees game until after the giants game ended because screw the yankees.  but if i were a yankee fan, or if it were the mets in a game 6 with a 3-2 lead, i’d probably watch more of the giants game than the playoff baseball game.  im also an out of market giants fan so i dont get to see as many giants games at home.  if it were a world series game or if it was game 7 then id probably watch more of the baseball game.  either way id do plenty of flipping, its not like both broadcasts dont have copious commercial breaks.

The entire NYC audience for the game was made of Mets fans who like football. 

Too bad it was a bit of deja vu to watch another injury-depleted team.
