Yes Nascar may get the higher rating but that is because it is not readily available to the public, once a week is all you get where as baseball is a nightly thing with less interest on every game. As for ratings this years Fox Baseball game of the week is averaged a 2.6 for the year. Last year they averaged a 2.7. While the numbers may look down, you must take in effect that the last two games had not been added in for the final ratings and with the Cubs vs. Mets pulling a 2.9 and the Braves vs. Cubs with no statistical data open to the public( but ratings expected to be high due to teams involved and at the time both were still in playoff chases I believe) it is pretty obvious that this year the ratings will be higher than those of last year showing a rise in the popularity of the sport. The strike hurt but every year that passes without another strike happening means another year that the popularity is restored and Baseball continues to rise back up from the ashes.

Re: Since the Yanks are on their way to the WS.......
This is what I said in the other thread:
I tip my hat to the Red Sox and their fans. Very classy organization. Full credit to the Red Sox being the first team in Baseball and 3rd in professional sports to comeback being down 3-0. The Red Sox earned and deserve to represent the AL in the World Series. No matter who they face in the World Series I will be pulling for the Red Sox to win.
This was a series we will all remember for a long time. Full of drama!
Once again congrats to the Red Sox!!!

I didn't think it was a stretch to say the Yanks would win after being up 2-0. Everything was looking good.Last edited by VanCitySportsGuy; 10-20-2004, 11:34 PM.Comment

Re: Since the Yanks are on their way to the WS.......
I think every baseball fan in America should be forced to read the first two pages of this thread... This is why everyone hates Yankee fans - arrogance and sense of entitlement. I am a HUGE Sox fan, and nothing has made me happier than the look of the faces of those prissy overpaid loser yankees. How's the A-Rod deal treating you? I know I'd take Cabrerra over him any day and every day.
and P.S. - Yea, the guy who owns Kmart may own the Royals, but how's Kmart been getting along these past few years?Comment
