Fixing MLB

[greymule]

And, now that the Yanks and the Phils are out, what do we think viewership for the WS will be with Tex vs SF?

There was one WS 10-12 years ago that neither I nor anyone else watched. It got the lowest ratings ever. Not surprisingly, I can't remember who played in it. It might have been the Marlins and somebody.

Guys,

I know New York and Boston are the largest markets in sports, but New York can't win every year. Psst, come closer. The Yankees looked OLD on TV compared to the mighty Rangers. Have you ever seen a New York Yankees baseball team intentionally walk two different players in the late innings of an ALCS game they were losing by 5 runs?

The Phillies had a shot and lost to the Giants, and there are more people hating the Phillies (and Eagles) who would rather see the Giants in the WS. As far as ratings go, the best TWO teams in baseball earned a right to meet in the World Series. The new Texas Rangers "DYNASSTY" begins Wednesday night on FOX with a win over the Giants.

No one ever said they should. The point I was making earlier was, with the major markets out, and "your haters" out (those who would tune in to cheer against the New York's, Boston's, Philies, etc.) there may not be much of a market left who will tune in to these games.
