Not really a surprise with this year's more interesting matchup:

World Series television ratings up big from 2008 - MLB - SI.com

I would bet it would have been higher if it was the Dodgers and Yanks.

The Phils and Yanks were the second best possible ratings matchup.

The Dodgers and Angels would have probably been the worst.

Cosmo and DK, are you in the TV field? Why else would you care about ratings? All I want is a good series between the two teams representing their respective leagues. Of course I have my favorites but I love any World Series. Not meant to be critical, just wondering about the ratings discussions.

I don't really care either. But it is something worth noting.

I think they are interesting just to see if baseball is still a top 3 sport in the U.S. or if FOX may continue to want to broadcast the World Series. I bet if FOX got 2's and 3's, they might decide it's not worth redoing their WS tv rights since a rerun of house or bones could outdraw it.

i love how gay it looks that all the umpires have to leave the field to look at the replay instead of maybe just the crew chief.

I bet the cameras are going to have to be moved back so they don't hang into the field of view.

 

[NotMe546]

Home run, thank you Alex.

As they should be. As much as I'd like the Yankees to lose, I'm glad they got the call right.

 

[NotMe546]

YES!!!!:clap

I'm not convinced they got the call right. How can you determine if it _WOULD_ have cleared the wall had the camera not interfered.

I bet the call was made to be a HR because the ball hit a structure (camera) that was anchored to the stands side of the fence.

FOX should move back the camera (and others so-situatioed) so it's not overhanging the field of play so a no-doubt call can be made in the future.

On Halloween, Worth's a BEAST! Man oh man what a game for him!

 

[skysurfer]

joba's on the mound, time for Phillies to get back in this thing! I wonder how long before Hankie calls him Fat Toad?

 

[NotMe546]

Considering what day it is this is perfect.

 

[ehren]

Lee beat the Yanks with guts, Cole does not have that this season. Man...... he just has to grow up, he's only 25.

 

[skysurfer]

Yanks announce Fat 'Bath will start game 4. Time for the Phillies to come up with more magic against CC in Game 4 or they may be done.
