I can't help but wonder what the ratings would be if the games started an hour earlier in the East. I would venture to guess that they would grow as the evening progressed and baseball would be providing their future audiences with a chance to enjoy the Series.

Amen, with games ending at midnight--on weeknights--no one wanted to invest an evening in a game whose conclusion they wouldn't see. Also, the endless days off, especially for the Rockies, killed whatever momentum the Series might have had going in. And why did the Sox and Indians have to twiddle their thumbs between Games 4 and 5 while both were already in Cleveland ready to play?
Gee, I'm all for including the West Coast audience, but Fox should have known that the audience for these playoffs was mostly in the East. But I guess they were too busy dreaming up new whooshing graphics and giving away tacos to notice....

The Yankees have a national audience/viewer drawing power, but the Sox and Fox -- you'd better fuggeddabowdit!

It is a fact, documented by Major League Baseball, that the Red Sox draw more fans across the country than any other team, including the Yankees. Ratings went up because of the Red Sox; they are one of the few reasons someone would stay up to watch a game that ends after midnight. But it's crazy to start these games at 8:30 p.m. ET. Baseball, coupled with endless commercial breaks for Fox, is killing its fan base.

Sorry, Ivy League yuppies, but this isn't 2004. The Red Sox are now Evil Empire II, and if people watch them now, it's to root against them. Just like the Yankees.

Ivy League yuppies? What's that about?

I watched every game, as a life-long Red Sox fan; but I feel sure the weaker ratings could be caused by those idiot announcers, who felt they must over-analyse every pitch. They even complained when the pitcher wasn't changed exactly when they thought it should happen.
They seem to feel their voice must be CONSTANTLY heard, even if they have nothing to say. Too bad we don't have Red Barber or Dizzy Dean - or anyone near their caliber any more!
Fortunately, my TV has a 'mute' button.

as a Cards fan we had the lowest world series ratings last year...who cares? we won! point is, if you're a fan ratings don't matter, u can put up with mccarver and buck. its not going to get any better for the rest of the baseball world, but i have to agree, people tuned in to see the sox lose. them and the yanks...bombs to both.

I agree start them earlier on the weekend, but already Red Sox fans on the West Coast had to miss the first few innings of the weekday games if they were gainfully employed. And yes there are many Red Sox fans here - I went to Game 3 of the ALDS in Anaheim and half the fans there were rooting for the Sox!

The ratings issue IMHO is that there are now hundreds of other choices for people, thousands if you include VOD programming available to digital cable customers. You no longer have the casual folks tuning into the game because there is nothing else on - just the true fans!

I'm 36 yrs old I love sports a lot. Here's my take on world series ratings, nielsens are whoever does the ratings-it depends if there are in to the NFL Or NBA Or MLB I don't believe em. Bye.

Bring the World Series back to October and fans will be interested again. Nov. is time for football.

Ratings would be better if games start earlier. Even if they start 7pm in the east, ratings would jump. Also, maybe the first round should be four out of seven game. Then we would get the best teams, instead of the hottest team at that moment. The contests would be between better teams not the streaky ones.

I have to agree with Anthony, Mikey. Nielsen ratings is not an accurate indicator of fan interest/enthusiasm.

HAHAHAHAHA...LMFAO! I REally DNT GIVE A KRAP! I HATE SPORTS! DIS KRAP IS BORING! it's a shame how much these sport players get paid just to PLAY a game that does nothing but make fat lazy americans more fat and lazy, and these teachers' allowances are close to nothing...im voicing my opinion...and im just an 9th grader at miramar high school!WHAT A SHAME!

I think all of the fans may like it too.

Is the booing of Sarah Palin on previous evening of 'Dancing With the Stars' incorrect? really don't like Sarah Palin, don't pay money for her publication. Just don't be her Facebook pal. Please do not vote for her but you need to incorporate some good manners, booing is so impolite.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

The U.S. Department of State made an alert Sunday for American tourists in The european countries to be aware of your heightened prospective for an al-Qaeda terrorist attack. The warning couldn't stipulate any specific places though did alert Americans in another country of terrorists’ possible “to attack public transportation systems along with other tourist infrastructure.” But no army or governing infrastructures?

Superb that Lindsay Lohan gets genuine in regard to herself, she needs treatment like Mel Gibson should have a mental health expert, with any luck , this girl don't get discharged from rehab earlier this time around as becoming let go early from UCLA was undoubtedly the main reason why this girl relapsed so very fast in the very first place, now i'm praying for you personally completely Lindsay, seriously you’re able to triumph over your addictive problems.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

(There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
