Baseball playoffs

Sooooo. From a Fox ratings perspective was it good or bad that the Rockies swept the D-backs? Less games to have to broadcast with low ratings, but me thinks the lack of public familiarity with the Rockies will be felt in the World Series’ Neilson numbers. Had the NLCS gone longer than four games, the public could have had a better introduction to Colorado. Now, the hottest team in baseball recedes from public view until Game 1 of the WS next week.

 

Speaking of which, would it be a good or bad thing – again ratings and fan wise – if the Indians close out the Sox tonight? On the one hand, MLB can begin ginning up interest in the Indians-Rockies match, while on the other hand those games don’t start for another week and perhaps MLB execs would prefer some more ALCS games to maintain fan interest in, you know, actual games. Who knows.
