The thing about a Yankees Mets series is that Yankee Haters would have watched if anyone had given the Mets a chance But if they were like me they didn't, and there for most likely didn't watch it. In fact, I like to think that series never happened. That on it’s own drove down ratings.

But then ratings were also helped because there are way more Yankee supporters outside of New York then any other team has, and an East Coast series actually occurs at a reasonable time on the West coast, therefore increasing viewers This series on the other hand occurs on the West Coast. The East Coast won’t get the games until around 9 o’clock since most games start at 6.

This is the biggest reason I see this series being a problem for the network. Since most people on the East Coast aren’t going to care about the series, even those who would have watched just because it's the World series are not going to stay up to watch it.

P.S. Does that Mark McGuire ad that has been playing drive anyone nuts? Not the ad itself but the fact that they say “Baseball Championship” Isn’t this being a little bit too worried about Political Correctness.
