BIG Ratings For World Series!
Filed under: TV News > Zportz
The World Series opener between the Yankess and the Phillies was a hit! A home run!
Wednesday's airing of the event was the highest-rated Game 1 in the past five years. It gave Fox the highest ratings for the night.
The game was watched by 19.5 million viewers. That's 31% higher rating than last year!
Coming in second was ABC with 6.3 million viewers tuning in for its Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown repeat.
Following in a tie for third was CBS and NBC.
Looks like Fox is going to have a real good thing going with the World Series!

I think the ratings would have been even greater if we had LA in the finals instead of Philly. You can't beat bi-coastal appeal.
come on yankees!!
Oh, I missed Charlie Brown? Oh well. Go Yankees!
.
Got to respect that Lee though. Wow!
The ratings are up because the Yankees are playing, people are watching for the Yankess. Last year it was the Mets, who the hell cares about the Mets?
I meant the Phillies, see how heated I get?!
Re: Shann825 – the mets? what planet are you on they havent even made the playoffs in years!!! The PHILLIES WILL REPEAT ONCE AGAIN!! Yank-These douchebags!!!!!!!
Re: ap076 – Weep!
Re: Shann825 – Idiot! Mets didn't make the World Series last year. Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays.
Yea i gotta say i've been secretly going for the Yankees too. Don't know what it is about New York recently. Like something special's been in the air there
eh hem………..philly fan here………….watching for the yankees? they can't even sell their stadium out. WTF?????
GO PHILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Shann825 –
Yeah because all Yankee fans are bandwagon assholes who only show up to games when their team is winning and only wear the hats so they can look cool and act like they are NYC and shit. Forget actual ball clubs that have real life long fans, thick and thin, like the Cubs, Braves, Twins, Angels, Indians, Tigers, I could go on and on. Too bad Yankees have the richest owner and buys up all the talent and puts them on one team. I'm glad the Phillies have GROWN into a team of superstars that they mostly drafted and raised unlike the cheater Yankees. Cheat and still lose. LOVING IT.
Go Phillies!
Because one, I'm NL & two, I can't STAND the Yankees.
Re: ihatefame – Amen Brother. and to Re: anittina169 – the only thing in the air at Yankee Stadium is a short right field which is the only spot your roider athletes seem to be able to punch one into. Good thing the Phils have a short right too. Hit that sweet spot Howard. Utley & Lee owned last night, and that was the B team. Pedro and Howard own tonight. I thought this game wouldn't go past 6 with the Phils crowned 2 yrs in a row, and I think I'm right! Yuppie 10K Yye Yay Mother Fuckers!
Re: ihatefame – "dont know what it is about new york lately?" yeah- its called be a frontrunner and not a real fan. Phils all the way!!! A-Fraud can take kate hudson, we'll take the ring AGAIN
For ap076 andShann825,
Obviously you people know nothing about baseball. The Dodgers didn't make it last year and they didn't make it this year. Take your whiny, bitch asses back to your bed and hide under the covers.

let's go boys!!! we'll take another tonight
guess the yankees are runnin low on the roids? PHILS
Phuck the Yankees! GO PHILLIES!
phillies baby! lets beat them stanky yankees.
After all the shit the Yankee fans talked all week about the "Frillies" (NY post is so mature) the Phillies owned then in thier own stadium.I'm not sure if Cliff Lee is human.He is ridiculous.Hopefully Pedro steps up tonight.The only thing I love about living here is the Phillies. I've seen them go from being one of the worst teams to being the best.
GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU MAY NOT LIKE US….BUT YOU BETTER RESPECT US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: ap076 – Actually Philly had better tv ratings then LA so I dont think the rating would be greater.
Go Phillies!
Wow Perez I'm so impressed you reported something about baseball! The ratings would have even been better if Dodgers made it! Philly is a bore compared to NY and LA. Go Yankees have to win it tonight!
Yankee Stadium looked laughably barren in the last couple innings.
GO PEDRO MARTINEZ AND PHILADELPHIA!!!!!!!!!!
who cares? it's baseball. baseball sucks.
Re: TheRussianOne – Nail perfectly hit on the head.
Re: SWEETPIECE! – I know you are a Dodgers fan. It is even worse for me I am a member of Red Sox nation. There is always next year for both our teams.
Re: greenhair – Asswipe I never said that L.A. made the finals last year or this year. I just theorized that if it was N.Y. vs L.A. the ratings would be even better because it would have both east coast and west coast appeal. Everybody in sports knows this. I don't know what is smaller the size of your dick or your knowledge of sports.
Re: 1nerual – Point taken, thanks for the info in a polite way.
Re: greenhair – Did I ever tell you about the time I was in Arkansas and I fucked this young singer up the ass and I felt bad for him even though he took it real easy, so I gave him a guitar for his troubles. I believe his name was Kris….Allen yeah that was it.
Phillies fan ALL DAY C:
Opening act game#2 was F*CKING awesome! JayZ , so much talent.
And now we've got crazy Pedro to watch.
Wish I was wacthing it with you!
Re: ap076 –
Dumb ass, obviously you don't know baseball because every baseball fan has been waiting for a Philly vs Yankees World Series game for ages. Check the rating bitch. Coastal appeal doesn't apply here. You can go and fuckin' cry me a river all you want, I'll swim laps around your sorry bitch ass. Now go and clean your twat cause it smells like LA.
Re: ap076 –
Don't you mean the time you were fucked by a singer and that's why you sound like a woman. I have a theory. You get fucked up the ass too much and you start sounding like a queer. Shut your bitch ass up. You're cool for attacking Kris Allen. Wow! now go stick your dildo and in your nasty ass you fuckin' douchebag.
Re: nycyankeeguy –
It wouldn't have been better because they didn't make it. Phillies did.
Re: ap076 –
And if you ever fucked anyone before and they took it easy, it just proves you're the one with the small cock, bitch.
Re: nancycampbellslut –
Jay-Z has so much talent? No more talent than any other poet out there. He doesn't sing, he just talks over mostly sampled music played against crappy 80's keybord licks. All he ever raps about is being the worlds greatest, and the biggest pimp. LAME. Heard enough.
well duhhh the yankees are in it…loved them, theyre gonna win it…love you johnny damon!!! haaa
Cliff Lee is a BAMF and all you Yankee fans know it. We're so gonna have a repeat!! Go Phills!!
There's a great rivalry going for this world series. NY vs. Philly, North Jersey vs. South Jersey. I love it. Still can't believe the Yankees lost though.
Re: greenhair – No he took it nice and easy cause his hole had been used and abused so many times before. Afterwards he begged for a dirty Sanchez and I was only too happy to oblige. You seem like you would be more a fan of the classic Cleavland Steamer. Now you fucking looser why don't you crawl back under the rock you came from. Trust me I can keep this shit up way longer than you can and I have a mouth on me like that whore you call a mother (another loose overfucked hole BTW).
Re: greenhair – GreenHair's Mother (is a)
C an't appreciate or
U nderstand anything at all
N ot the least of which is why GreenHair
T olerates a fist so easily placed up the ass without lubricant.
1 to 1
Re: ap076 –
Did you need your daddy to write that for you? I briefly read it. I had a good night and I don't wanna ruin it with your sorry ass. You're a small dick bitch ass mother fucker. Go screw yourself you worthless piece of shit who has to bring music into baseball. You're a fuckin' queer. Go fuck yourself bitch.
I forgot to tell you that after I was done with Kris' ass I got Katy to engage in a little srimping on the little dude before I got her to strap one on and give Kris a ride. You got to love those Arkansas folk. Those folks like to party. They said they role play and coxtrox but that was a little too much for me. Not quite the fan image you had is it.
Check out the Urban Dictionary on-line if you have not heard of these terms but I figured with the parents you were raised by you would know a thing or two about coxtroxing etc.
Give up while you can bitch cause I won't let up on you. Tru that. And to think you started this shit with your rude ass comment. Maybe if you type that you are sorry I will leave your bitch ass alone.
Re: greenhair – (1)I didn't need my daddy to write anything for me cause he's dead and I can write on my own (2) You only briefly read it because you got schooled son and you didn't have a comeback (3)My ass is not sorry it is quite happy (4) You called me a small dicked mother "lover", then why did I have to use a magnum when I visited your mother, turns out she likes a Cleavland Steamer as much as you(5) My dick may be big but I am unable to make love to myself (6) My net worth is considerable (7) I brought music up because of your Avitar and my personal experiences in Arkansas with Kris (8) I am proudly gay so some may call me q u e e r. (9) Once again I can't make love to my self (10) Also I am not a female dog.
Fuck the Yankees, and fuck the World Series. This e-fight between Greenhair and apo76 is where it's at.
GO PHILLIES!!!!!
I sincerely hope the Yankees LOSE! If it ain't the Red Sox,I ain't watching!
Re: minimilanocookie – WHAT? No! Baseball is GREAT! I want the Yankees to crash & burn! The only thing that DOES suck about baseball IS the Yankees!
Re: ap076 –
Wow you don't stop. You must love to put people down because it makes you feel bigger about yourself. Well it doesn't help your small dick. I didn't read anything of what you wrote and I don't need to. I'm not the one with the insecurities. We were talking baseball and you brought music into it. Go and listen to a Cyndi Lauper ballad and slit your throat would ya. You really are pathetic. You can't even stay in one conversation. This is a baseball post. They had "Idol" posts when the show was on. Do you attack everyone for the icon? Does that make you feel like a better person. I feel sorry for you because you're a loser. I did see you went to Urban Dictionary to find words. That just goes to show me how pathetic you are. I simply brought up the fact how Coastal Appeal didn't apply here because this World Series has been wanted by many for 59 years. Check your stats bitch ass. You can't talk baseball and you clearly can't talk music either. You don't bring any facts into anything you just attack because you're a fuckin' loser.
Re: ap076 – No problem. There is no reason for me to be nasty about it.
Re: greenhair – "Take your whiny bitch asses back to your bed and hide under the covers", this was the first contact we had and it came from your mouth.
If you politely corrected me like another poster did you would not be getting insults rained down on you. I guess you lied when you said you did not read the posts because you went right to the urban dictionary to look up my words which I told you to do and by the way I got the phrases from having a group of friends with filthy mouths. I merely provided the reference for you to look up the shit I threw down about you.
You are right I do not give up, I am immature and stubborn that way. I have to have the last word and I will. Your Avatar was an easy target. Kris Allen really? I knew it would get to you as all this has. If you are a dude honestly how gay is that Avatar?
Fuck the Yankees. Phils are gonna repeat.
Seems as if this site didn't want to post what I had to say.
Re: greenhair – Oh poor baby. Why don't you have some fun with your fist to a Kris Allen song.
Greenhair you major urolagniac just give it up, your mama is waiting for you.
Nobody wanted to hear what you had to say in the first place and especially when you did so in such a rude and obnoxious way and guess what, as a result you have brought the rude and obnoxious on yourself. Let it go and I will drop your TINY bone from my mouth.
