We didn't watch either

We could easily attribute not watching much of this year's World Series to being parents of an infant. But truth is, we probably wouldn't have been hooked into a Giants-Rangers matchup even before Trent.

Not many people were: It tied the mark for the worst television rating of any World Series. You have to go all the way back to 2008 to find a World Series that drew such poor ratings.

Saturday's World Series Game 3 had the second-lowest television rating of any single World Series game. Again, we have to go all the way back to 2008 to find the lowest single game, a classic 5-4 game that the Phillies won on a bases loaded dribbler to third base in the bottom of the 9th. The game was memorable because it was delayed due to rain and did not start until after 10 p.m. Personally, we were going crazy with last-minute preparations for a party we were hosting the next day.

What a shame - that was a great game. And I saw most of it.

I asked Christine whether she thought she would be able to stay up for that game if we had Trent back then. She said not only would she stay up, she'd feed Trent three times during it. Then, I added that he probably wouldn't go to sleep either during such a tense contest. I, however, would be asleep before they finished the National Anthem.
