It doesn't help when the games don't end till after midnight EST.

I'd say 50-60 percent of the entire playoffs was in Spanish for me....on Fox. That certainly doesn't help ratings.

Where I live in NY one game went on past 2:00AM !!!

Total B.S. and the major league scheduler can stick his ratings up his you know what. I'm sick of games in the est time zone starting at 8:30 or 9pm Totally ridiculous.

Well you have a minor market team like Houston then you have the secondary player in a major market, it does not make good for the ratings. You also had two underdog teams that haven't won a championship forever, so there was no David vs. Galith deal to draw in outside fan support.

Although I'm a huge fan of baseball and do not mind watching any team in the WS, I have to admit this series was a disappointment. Houston's offence basically rolled over and died.

Pro sports in this country (except,perhaps for football) is losing fans.Too much money,too many drugs and too many egos are what's done it for me.

Doesn't help that baseball has become mind-numbingly boring.

Paying a roid two million a month to take three swings and sit down ruined baseball long ago.

Baseball World Series games run late into the night ... and way to far into the fall months. Baseball, regular season, cranks up April 1st. Had the World Series not been a sweep by the Chicago White Sox ... it could easily have stretched into November. Not counting the preseason, baseball goes on for seven months ... needs to wrap up (at the very least) by late September, early October.
