I guess moving the starting time back means more people can get home to listen/watch

But I don’t want to do another four hour delay with an afternoon game scheduled for tomorrow (if it doesn’t rain then)

Looks like there’s a system sitting right on top of detroit right now, but it’s not moving off to the east like it should. Kind of swirling up from the south. But nothing coming from the west, so once it moves off the city, the weather shouldnt come back.

Detroit's not terrible as markets go

Dallas-Ft Worth has about 2.5 million TV homes, while Detroit has 1.8 million. (In comparison, St. Louis has 1.2 million and Milwaukee around 900K.)

I think the baseball fan base is stronger in Detroit than it is in football-mad Texas, though. We did something like an insane 25 share for the last ALDS game for which I saw ratings. That’s one in four TV sets in use tuned in to the game, huge ratings for baseball.

Just to play devil's advocate...

How much of that was because they were playing the Yankees? As much as I despise the Yankees, there were a lot of people (nationally) interested in that series because of New York… either because they are Yankees fans or because they love to root against the Yankees.

Let me say I have no idea what I am talking about

While a good friend of mine when I was growing up has the last name was Nielsen, I was truly bummed the day I found out he was not part of the"Nielsen household"

My gut just tells me St.Louis v Texas has a greater national appeal than any other combination.

The Carrie Underwood season was the only season I watched, and that was only because I had a roommate who watched it

I was backing a guy that I had previously seen live in a performance of Rent and who I thought was really good. And then he got eliminated ahead of some blonde pretty guy that got the teenage girl vote and really wasn’t that great a singer. I got annoyed and didn’t watch after that.

Good thing there's a rain delay, now I can go off on how Avila should be benched.

He’s pitiful at the plate. His knees are failing and the only way he can produce positively is by being a cheerleader on the bench. He’s absolutely terrible. We got to the ALCS in spite of him, not because of him. Time to give Omir a shot.

Okay, I'm in the mood for fish now after the shrimp reference

Salmon or tilapia?

I prefer salmon

I don't care what the Chinese say, 2011 is the Year of the Tiger!

by Tigerdog1 on Oct 12, 2011 6:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

I enjoy both

But the tilapia has a chipotle lime crust, so I’m leaning that way

I really have to get my MSPaint up and running again.

So many things to say, so much slothfulness preventing such things from being said.

From Alto Reed's Wikipedia page:

On October 12 2011, Reed performed the American national anthem at Game 5 of the American League Championship Series of Major League Baseball. His facial hair during that performance was regrettable.

So anyone have an opinion on Epsteins 5 year deal with the Cubs?

IMO they’re sadly mistaken if they think he has the bottomless wallet required to break the curse

He's a very good GM
