Sports Media Watch: MLB ratings down.

Hey, it's well worth it to see the Yankees not in the playoffs for the first time since 93.

The Cubs early demise added greatly to this.

It will only get worse now that the Cubs are gone and if Tampa Bay moves on. If the WS winds up being Dodgers-Angels then FOX should just do the rest of the country a favor and switch it to FSN West. We won't mind, really.

Here's an interesting ratings fact:

FOX's highest-rated World Series, in 1996, was 17.4.

Compartively, CBS' ratings for the Fall Classic were 20.8, 24.0, 20.2, and 17.3. That is a real surprised given how we had a team from Canada twice and CBS did a bad job covering baseball at points.

I won't argue with that at all. It's idiotic.
