Yeah, so you may have noticed the lack of an update surrounding last night's World Series Game 4. Why? Who the hell cares, that's why. Outside of Philadelphia, no one watched this thing, including the St. Petersburg market. No one cares.
That said, the Phillies have a chance to wrap the series up this evening after last night's 10-2 blasting of Tampa Bay. (Carlos Pena and Evan Longoria are now a combined 0-25 at the plate in the World Series. That warms my heart.) Cole Hamels is on the mound tonight for Philadelphia, so you can pretty much put this one in the books. We'll have a nice, extensive update and/or coronation piece tomorrow afternoon.

With Cole Hamels going for Philly, the Rays need a minor miracle -- and a major meltdown by Hamels -- to keep this Series going.
That's why no one is watching.
Game 3 drew a 21.6 rating and a 44 share in the St. Pete market, so saying that nobody is watching in Tampa is completely inaccurate.
Check the rest of the country, Tim.
Right. The overall numbers in the rest of the country will prove this to be the lowest rated world series of all time. I was merely responding to the claim that no one in the Tampa/St. Pete market was watching, and set forth evidence to contradict that statement.
Do you have a total viewership number in the St. Pete market, instead of the rating/share? (I'm just curious.)
