No one talks about how horrible the ratings for the Subway Series was. OMG NO NEW YORK, LA, CHICAGO, OR BOSTON. RATINGS DISASTER.

Also, the White Sox vs Astros series was poorly rated too. Shove it, assholes.

They don't have the valuable "People wanting to see teams with an overinflated sense of their own worth lose" demographic, as the Yankees/Red Sox are already gone.

Everyone in NY watched it, but noone did anywhere else

NY LA or NY Cubs would get amazing ratings

from baseball almanac

Did you know that during the 2000 Subway Series, 61% of the televisions in New York watched Game 5? Did you know that the next thirty largest television markets, during that same exact viewing period, registered double digit percentage losses compared to the market in New York City?

And yes, everyone talks about it, it was the first one in FOX's contract and the poor ratings made the news and Selig was questioned about it and gave no respons

What's he supposed to say?
"We'll rig it the next couple times so we get higher ratings!"

I'm guessing these are the averages, game one would have lower ratings than the rest obviously

2007-10.6
2006-10.1

They should rig the league so that teams that haven't won in a while get to be in the WS and then immediately nerf them to destroy any chance of a dynasty, compare the 96 Yankees with 98,99,00,01,03 and the 04 sox with 06 sox.

Not having the Red Sox or the Yankees in the WS is bad for baseball and you all should feel bad.

So, no matter how many steals we only get 1 taco? or like we get a taco for every steal? And are they going to be on different dates or what?

1 taco. that's it.

there were like 5 steals in the game last night. that doesn't mean 5 tacos.

That's pretty shitty. Steal a base, steal a taco implies that multiple tacos are a possibility.

You just figured out how to get Mexicans to enjoy baseball over soccer.

Agreed. Let's say, hypothetically, the first guy to steal gets second and is then able to take third on an errant throw from the catcher. That's like two steals in one, it should be worth two tacos.

2002 2005 2006 and 2007 were worse

The only reasons to watch are to follow your team and to see a good competition. Both teams were from the same city and the Mets couldn't compete with the Yankees and got whacked.
