I didn't watch it because it was clear that the Giants were going to win after game 1.

I didn't watch because I had no interest. I didn't care who won or who lost.

World Series Sweep - An Act of Greatness That Only One City Really Loved

In the end it might be the World Series that mattered only to those people in a beautiful, picture-postcard little city tucked between an ocean and a bay. Nobody in New York will care that the San Francisco Giants swept the Detroit Tigers the way the Tigers swept the Yankees. If you want revenge, you take it yourself. Los Angeles, Chicago, Texas, Florida, Boston -- only the die-hard purists there will really care. And Fox? Oh, Lord, are they probably happy this World Series is over.

And that's fine with us, in our beautiful town as we indulged on wine and cheese and drifted lazily on yachts in the bay as we watched our beloved team win again.

Not sure which was a better feeling-- the actual victory or seeing so-called experts and stats-spewers eat their words!

Giants' World Series win sweeps ratings into basement

The 2012 telecast of the Fall Classic averaged 12.7 million viewers, News Corp unit Fox said on Monday. That left the Giants' victory over the Detroit Tigers in the ratings cellar, according to Nielsen data.

The previous World Series low came in 2008 when an average of 13.6 million watched the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays in five games. An average of 17.1 million watched the last-four game sweep, when the Boston Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies in 2007.
