MLB Television Ratings


Sports, Television / Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

An article came out today regarding Baseball Mired in a Mysterious Ratings Slump. Perhaps TV attendance is down because you’re showing nothing but crappy games all the time. Stop showing teams just because they’re winning at the moment. And no one cares about this worthless NL Central division that we always hear so much about. They’re boring. Even that Cardinals team that won a few years back sucked to watch. Stop showing NL Central games all the time. Apparently no one cares. That just might go for both Central divisions for that matter. No one cares about the heart of America. Those people don’t even care.

And we don’t need to see every single Mets and Red Sox game. They’re on all the time. Show teams with star power but don’t go overboard. I’m not a Yankees fan but they have a whole team of names that draw people… Arods, CCs, Jeters. I would watch them on TV even if they weren’t playing the Red Sox. They’re almost never on as much as they probably should be. No one wants to see the studs on the Brewers no matter how good they are. People want to see the champs. However only show the Phillies at night because they don’t seem to like to show up on nationally televised day games.

Personally I want to see the Lincecums of the league; not the feel good story pitchers, battling poverty and drug addiction, who at the moment are pitching over their heads. I’m guessing viewers probably stopped even looking to see what was on because they just naturally assumed it’s some Roy Oswalt/who ever’s the ace of the Pirates these days. I started writing this before I turned on the TV but guess who’s on? Cardinals at Brewers. Man, I just love that Wainwright/Suppan match-up. Click.

And maybe, just maybe, get rid of bums Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. Don’t put them in more stuff. Get rid of them altogether. How on Earth did they become baseball announcers? Because they like baseball? Well I like baseball. That doesn’t mean you should make me an announcer. I’m a mean person… Nevermind, I bet I’d have more fans than those 2 bums have. I would just hope not to have something like a I Hate Joe Buck Facebook group about me.

I’m currently watching: Family Guy
