I have to believe that it has...although maybe not.
It's not like there was any player movement prior to say...1975 or so....

The way SF has handled Texas and the fact that SF has handed Halladay, Oswalt, and Lee their first career postseason losses, I can't see the Giants not winning the series.Comment

I dunno...people keep yacking about Lee getting roughed up in the first game, but seem to overlook that Lincecum pretty much got shelled and committed some fairly dubious fielding errors. The Rangers pitching was horrible in the late innings last evening, but to me that comes down to managerial error in the placement of personnel on the mound more than human error or fatigue on the pitcher's behalf. And remember, this post season has seen the unprecedented anomaly of the road team doing better than the home team, so you'd think the Rangers would have done much better. Perhaps a return to home turf will even things up, yet at this point, it's sort of hard to imagine Texas winning 4 of the next 5 games, let alone 3 straight at home.

World Series TV Ratings drop 26% through first 2 games
The 2010 World Series between the San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers continues to deliver solid, if unspectacular, TV ratings for Fox Sports.
Through 2 games, Fox's World Series coverage is averaging an 8.7 rating, down 26% from the first 2 games of the New York Yankees-Philadelphia Phillies last year, but up 1% from Phillies-Tampa Bay Rays in 2008, says Fox spokesman Dan Bell.
The Giants' 9-0 victory in Thursday's Game 2 to take a 2-0 Series lead averaged an 8.5 TV rating and 14.1 million viewers. That's down 27% from last year's Game 2. But up 5% from Game 2 of Phillies-Rays, the lowest-rated Fall Classic.
The San Francisco market again led all major U.S. TV markets for Game 2, pulling a 36.4 rating, while the telecast drew a 30.9 rating in Dallas. Fox starts its coverage of Saturday night's Game 3 at 6:30 PM, the earliest starting time for a World Series telecast since 1987.
MLB commissioner Bud Selig told Sirius XM Radio's Chris "Mad Dog" Russo Thursday that Giants-Rangers will draw "great ratings" if it can build to a competitive 5-game, 6-game, or ideally, 7-game series.
"I have to tell you, the Giants and the Rangers are a great story," Selig said.
But Fox's World Series TV numbers are not out of the woods yet. Sunday's Game 4 and, if necessary, Monday's Game 5, will have to compete for viewers with NBC's Sunday Night Football and ESPN's Monday Night Football.
The NFL has been crushing its TV competition all season. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made clear this year his league would not step aside this Sunday night.
"We had obligations to NBC from a programming standpoint, and we felt it was best to continue on with that great franchise every night of the season and allow the consumer to be able to choose whether they want to watch Sunday Night Football or the World Series," Goodell said.

Congrats to the S. F. Giants and major kudos to Edgar Renteria ! Renteria's a wonderful baseball player and a bit of a good luck charm
as he has been involved with at least 3 ( ! ) recent World Series teams . I can attest to this because he was all too briefly a most wonderful
Cardinal . Thanx to the Giants for bringing it back to the N.L. !Comment
