LOL, it's been great baseball throughout most of all the games. I'm sorry there isn't a million homeruns to keep you interested(except for last night)
EDIT: Oh wait, now it all makes sense. He's just a bitter Dodger fan. 😛

3 good innings? How about 3 good games. The first 3 were all very close and went down to the wire.
Personally, I like the strategy aspect of the game, the managerial moves and such. The reason this World Series is boring for me is that I really dislike Charlie Manuel. He seems like an idiot who happens to have a team with players that happen to be better than the other team's. Whenever I hear him speak, I swear I could see him staring off into space as he stammers. Joe Maddon has a good baseball mind, but his players are all too young and overachieved this year.

Baseball games in general are boring to watch. Unless it's Barry Bonds or the Yankees. Home runs and lots of scores!
Only reason the Yankees aren't boring is because it's funny to watch them lose. 😆
Phillies World Series championship hopes are not going to be postponed. That game was getting ridiculous.

I disagree about Manuel. Even though he has not had to make any hard decisions throughout the playoffs, the players absolutely LOVE playing for him. I'm sure you can say the same for most playoff teams, but if you ask every player on the Phillies they will say that they would not want to play for anybody other than Charlie Manuel. He has a great connection with this team. Even CC Sabathia has said he loves Charlie from the days he was on the Indians. Manny likes him a lot too.
I loved my 11th grade History teacher. I wish I could have had her EVERY year. She was funny, and good to talk to. However, I was already a good student, I already knew alot about history when I got there, and all she did was give me assignments that I finished on time. Doesn't make her a good teacher. Maybe that's why she was fired a few years later.
My point is, I never questioned how nice or likeable the guy is to his players, I questioned his intelligence. You put sorry-ass Grady Little on a team with that much talent and they'll win.
