Get ready for the worst TV rating World Series of all time....................

thechaoz · 10-21-10, 12:47 PM

I know execs care but I don't give a shit. I enjoy baseball and it's strange to have two underdogs that could be in the series. I'm pretty sure oak/brewers could be worse. Anyway baseball does a shit job at marketing it's players. Between the Texas underdog/Hamilton/etc stories and the haven't won in a gillian years Giants, they could make it semi interesting.

The problem is you can't decide to ramp up it on ads just before the series when this stuff takes years to churn out. The NFL has been the leader in this for years and has done a good job except for the recent pussy ass fines which has to be corrected.

it will be very boring.

throw money on texas if this is what its going to come down too.

the giants suck.

HenPrivilege · 10-21-10, 12:53 PM

Bay Area is the 6th largest market in the country and Texas has 2 in the top 10.. You could also throw the Sacramento market in the mix as well

I think Brewers/Royals would get more viewers..

I think MLB is on their way to having the worst W.S. matchup known to mankind.

If they asked Bud Selig back in April which 2 teams would you least want to see in the W.S.. his answer would have been TEX/SF...

What's better than seeing the big gangsta George Bush sitting next to Nolan Ryand behind homeplate?

All 4 teams in this series have money making markets.. throw that theory out the window already

Herky · 10-21-10, 01:55 PM

Again, Why the hell do you care who plays and what their ratings will be?

Also, 2002 was not lowest rated WS. 2005 was.

I agree. If it's great baseball I will watch. Besides who cares what the ratings are. American Idol and Dancing With The Stars get great ratings but I would rather pull my fingernails out with pliers than to watch that garbage. I'm proud that I've never watched one second of those shows.

So give me the World Series no matter who is playing.

Come on HenPrivilege, no need to call George Bush the big gangsta. There are a million bad things I could say about the City of San Francisco but I won't go there. And yes I hope your Giants pull it off too.

Pauulzcappin · 10-21-10, 02:23 PM

I'll bet it and watch it anyway. Just hoped bombers were in

kcDdegenerate · 10-21-10, 02:40 PM

its still the world series....true sports and baseball fans will still watch...

frostno98 · 10-21-10, 02:51 PM

I will watch and be rooting for both Texas and SF, since I lived in both states. Rooting for Texas more, since that state Baseball team has won a world series ever I believe.

linedrivr · 10-21-10, 03:00 PM

although I despise the Yanks, they aren't dead yet. There will be 50k+ tight buttholes in the stands @ Rangers ballpark Friday night waiting for another home choke job from the Rangers. All will be armed with Prep H just in case.

Don't get it twisted.. I like George Bush.. Don't assume because I'm in California that I'm a donkey

STFU dumb canadian...u know nothing about US markets....SFO is in the top 6 markets in the country and texas is in top 10 markets as well. Do some research before posting dumb canadian. These canadians suck in handicapping...on top that they suck in general knowledge as well...now nicky go back to your fake monopoly money betting stories.

King Mayan · 10-21-10, 04:01 PM

Bahahahaha yeah all those no life but east coast baseball fans will not watch...

Texas and the Giants should let the Yanks and Phils win so the casual fan will care, ya great thread

Look at the big brain on this muthafukka

Pay your self or spray yourself sucka

Willie Bee · 10-21-10, 04:45 PM

According to one Reuters piece I dug up (LINK) the 2008 Series that featured two East Coast teams was the lowest rated Series (8.4) followed by the '06 Cards-Tigers matchup (10.1).

Also, predicting any show will come in with lower ratings than the same game/show the previous year is pretty much a no-brainer as that same article pointed out. Nicky should give us solid plus-lines on a Rangers-Giants Series going lower than either of those previously mentioned two.

wilbert, if you think that series was bad.. just wait till the kids here at sbr see the ratings for the SF/TEX one. they will cry. they will finally realize that their old pal nicky santoro does know a few things in life.. i will become a national hero here and the doubters will line up to apologize.

ok, maybe they won't apologize, but at least they'll know that i know what i'm talking about.

you boys are not going to like what i am about to say, but it's true. Nicky Santoro only speaks the truth..

the only thing that can be worse than a SF vs Tex W.S is.......... Pirates vs Royals in the world series.

i am not kidding.. go ahead now and hammer me, but remember, it's the truth.

Seattle/Florida would be worse.

But honestly, as a baseball fan, I love the prospect of a Texas/San fran match-up, more so than a Yankee/Philly one,

thanks slimmer. slimmer, no one believed good ol nicky santoro when he said it would be the least watched W.S. of all time. if you read this whole thread, you'll see how everyone disagreed with me and called me clueless and said i was way off..

where are they now?? they are nowhere to be seen. These were the 2 worst teams MLB could have asked for. even worse than PIT vs KC..

Don't argue with Nicky Santoro..

WTF...there has been no ratings out yet....the game just finished today...it would take few days to come up with final tv ratings. Until then shut your pie hole

frizzelli · 11-02-10, 12:02 AM

I honestly did not watch one single minute of the World Series.

i guess you're a big giants fan with that avatar..

i noticed all the Giants fans are the ones that are pissed the most...i see your frustration.... you just won the WS and no one in the world cares except you SF guys.. lol..

Slim · 11-02-10, 12:13 AM

The Sunday Night NFL regular season game had better ratings than the World Series game. That says a lot.

This hasnt happened in a decade where SNF goes against World Series. I bet you if SNF football had gone against world series last year, the result would have been the same.

Nicky Santoro · 11-02-10, 12:23 AM

Just face it, San Fran is a loser city.. they had one of the worst ratings back in 02 and Barry Bonds was huge at that time.. imagine now??? who are they going to tune in to see??? Buster Posey? LOL or Freddy Sanchez? LOL..

97.3% of americans could NOT name more than 1 player on SF. that's right, not 1.. Will America tune in to watch the WS between Tex and SF, or Dancing with the Stars.. take a guess.. lol

no one cares about your Giants.. only SF cares.. and maybe 3 other people in america.

vyomguy · 11-02-10, 12:31 AM

Nicky...you just showed your lack of baseball knowledge. True fans of baseball know what the giants strength is...that's pitching. You dont think most of america knows Tim Lincecum who has won 2 Cy Youngs for the past two years ???....go back to fake monopoly money betting...you obviuosly have no clue.

Bitter that your team didnt make it or do you have a stake in network television?

Did you lose money on the series?

Why so much interest in ratings? just curious.
