World Series draws record-low TV ratings

A small-market team and a short series often are guarantees of low television ratings for sports in this age of fractured audiences. The 2008 World Series added to that double whammy the disjointing impact of a long rain delay and a suspended game.

Maybe they should have one game for the Championship and have it in a neutral site domed stadium to stir up more interest.This thing of playing in football weather(late October) is ridiculous!

Many friends I met on a sports dating site ==mysportsdate.com say they'd better build some new stadium. I think so too.

I have always thought they should shorten the regular season. 162 games plus spring training is crazy. Shorten the season and games will mean more and then the playoffs will start sooner and they won't be playing at the end of October. Never happen though, too much money involved! The powers that be don't give a shit!

They could shorten the season to 154 games, the way it was before 1961 in the AL, and before 1962 in the NL, and everything would be fine!!

I didn't know baseball was still around. People still watch it? Have they started testing for juice yet?
