Q. why do the yankess do well in the rating when they haven't won anything in 12 years ?
I think that's a very good question, and one unfortunately I don't know the answer to.
But the fact remains, they do tremendously in the ratings whether we like it or not.
I suppose alot has to do with the local ratings and the HUGE amount of population in that area.
I wonder how thier ratings are outside of the NE corner of the country ?

I agree where they play has a lot to do with it, but ratings are ratings no matter where you're getting them from.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the frustration if you live in the South, Midwest or West and are force fed these teams all the time.
But again my thing is, if you're a network exec, wouldn't you be considered incompetent if you didn't schedule games that brought you higher ratings?
I couldn't care less if the Tiger's aren't on national TV. Doesn't change the outcome of the game. As long as i can see them on TV, I'm happy.
I agree :up
I saw on the season preview show that FSN Detroit will have 156 games this year, 115 in HD ... I'm sure the ones that are not in HD will be due to schedule conflicts when they are pushed to FSN + (664 on D*) when the Red Wings and or Pistons are playing in the playoffs. (Pistons may or may not make the playoffs) I suppose that could add more games to the HD line up over all.

actually 120 games in HD if you count the scheduled FOX Saturday Baseball ones. Also ESPN could pick up some Sunday games if they want to so that could be more...
there name is officially Fox Sports Detroit / Fox Sports Detroit Plus now too btw....
ya well since FSD and FOX (Saturday Baseball) are "sister stations" they say 120 HD games on the FSD HD page.

I can't believe that only the Cubs have gone longer without winning a World Series than the Indians.
Keep hanging onto the past. At least the Cubbies and Tribe are still competitive and relative currently! The same can't be said for the Bucko's.
Because they have the largest following of any MLB team and are the most historic franchise in all of sports.
Yankee fans are nationwide. I've seen more Yankee hats than any other team represented whenever I go to different states or travel.
Before the Phillies and Braves open the 2009 MLB season, I'd like to take this time to wish all of the Baseball fanatics here on SatelliteGuys a healthy and fruitful season! Good luck to all your teams. May the best team win!
Do the Bucs play the Tribe in Interleague Play?
If so, that'll have a lot of back-and-forth spiciness on here!
