ya, seems like if an east coast or west coast team isn't in the world series, no one cares.
that's ok Missouri and Texas are having a great time, and , we did shut down the "big" boys.

By "no one", you mean ESPN, don't you?
True story: My wife's young relative (~8 yrs old at the time?) walked up to me and asked me if I liked the Yankees. I said no. He then asked if I liked the Red Sox. I said no. He got a confused look on his face, and said: "So... you don't like baseball?"
I went and told his father to stop letting him watch so much ESPN.
