No Red Sox. No Yankees. No ratings. Good luck MLB. [View all]

All you Red Sox/Yankees bashers have gotten your wish. A baseball post-season without either the Yankees nor the Red Sox for the first time in 20 years.

Guess what else this post-season won't have: ratings. I predict that the ratings for this post-season will be the lowest in MLB history. America is not going to watch the Oakland A's play the KC Royals on a Tuesday night.

Red Sox/Yankees brought passion and fire to the post-season. This year, all that you will have is a bunch of no-name teams with no-name players playing in non-descript towns.

Maybe now some of you bashers will finally understand why ESPN and Fox put the Red Sox/Yankees in prime time.
