***********************
America not tuned in for Rockies-Phillies game 1 - Philadelphia Business Journal:
The Rockies/Phils may have been a ratings clunker for TBS, but we got a press release from FSN Rocky Mountain that says they're trending up and broke some viewership records during the regular season:
The success and popularity of the Colorado Rockies in 2009 translated into record viewership on the team's exclusive regional television partner, FSN Rocky Mountain. The cable sports network recorded strong ratings throughout the season, posting the all-time highest season average rating with a 4.2 (151 games), and the highest-rated Rockies single-game telecast (10.1) this past Saturday night when the West Division title was on the line for the Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ratings for 151 Rockies game telecasts in 2009 were 27 percent higher than the average for 126 games on the network in 2008. The next highest-rated season on FSN Rocky Mountain was a 3.9 average during both the 2000 and 2001 seasons.
The rest of the NLDS schedule has been announced, the Rockies will be enjoying competing with the nightly news for the next two contests:
- Gm 3 PHI @ COL Sat Oct. 10 9:37 PM TBS
- Gm 4 PHI @ COL Sun Oct. 11 10:07 PM TBS
- Gm 5* COL @ PHI Tue Oct. 13 6:07 PM TBS

I remember awhile back people were discussing that Star Wars concert thing. I just found out that I know someone singing in it here in SF. She’s actually our choir director at church, and is only 19. She’s really good, though.
Nice!

That's cool
They had a news segment on it a few weeks ago, which I forgot about, but then my son the Star Wars nut heard about it, and next thing you know, we’ve got tickets for the 18th (the same day as game 3 of the NLCS). I’m hoping for a non-conflict.
You'll do the right thing.
You’ll go to the Star Wars concert with your son.

higher on the Row than what?
Than the public at large, sure. As for folks to blog and run sites, I’d say the geek factor is higher…at least in the way we’re talking geekhood here. There’s a selection bias…people here are already unusually interested in the Rockies.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!

It’s been a lot of fun growing up. Until 9/11 I could call him at work and have a conversation with him while he talked to the planes it was fun. I also got to go with him to work the mid (10:00pm-6:00am) and spend the night. Great times. Too bad I’m too old and I can’t go with him anymore.

Strange
that they would stopoff in Chicago on a presumably private flight?
Are they picking up some of the Cubs or White Sox batting coaches on the way?
maybe mechanical issues....
or Contreras needed to grab some stuff?

They filed 2 flight plans today; one Philly to Chicago, and one Chicago to Denver.

and it stopped on the way out to Philly too? What kind of plane is it? Must have enough range to get from Den to philly, right?

I know Larussa is a genius and all....
…but why not put in a defensive replacement for Holliday in the 9th? I recall Hurdle bringing in Spilly or Sullivan or Podsednik for Holly late in games.
Lil' Abner is no Clint Hurdle!

but you gotta win the game when you have the lead. Can’t think about ties.
Yes lets switch all of the blame to La Russa
I like the idea

Not blaming him...
I mean, any ballplayer on the planet should’ve made that catch. I just don’t know that I’d want Holliday out there in the 9th when you have the lead.
But make no mistake — this one’s on Holliday.
I agree it's on Holliday but I'd rather it be on LaRussa. Sigh

Should be interesting to see how Cardinals fans respond.
St L fans are
a) knowledgeable as hell
b) super polite
So I don’t see them turning on him. OTOH, I’m not sure they will forgive or forget. Especially if they go out in 3.
Yeah St. Louis fans are some of the best in the game

I saw a game there on my recent baseball tour and was really impressed
The fans really understand what they’re watching and there’s a very happy vibe in the park. And this was while Tim Lincecum was tossing a two hit shutout against them!
I'll tell you...I have a funny feeling that Hawpe
wouldn’t mind playing in St Louis. He pretty much gushed about the city and baseball fans there during the ASG…

I think the pt is, to me,
the one silverblood have above. It’s now just a really good hitters’ park, not the crazy place it was. Prob not a coincidence that the team is better. It’s pretty hard to build teams in extreme parks. If the park had remained the old way, it would be very hard to fight the perception that the offense was great and the pitching poor, no matter what the case really was.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!

The much-improved pitching has worked wonders.

I wonder if some people outside Philly and Denver even knew there was a game on at all.
I went to a Buffalo Wild Wings here in Cincinnati for Game One because I don’t have cable, I got there a little after the game had started and they had about 20 television screens on with none of them having the playoff game. They did have the golf channel showing a pre tournament PGA press conference, the NFL channel showing a replay of the New England game, ESPN News and ESPN and whatever, but not a single one of them was tuned into the one major sporting event that was taking place live right at that very moment. It was very discouraging as a baseball fan.

Hmmm. scanned the comments on this real quick
No marketing wiz here, and I am sure they compare things as fairly as poss. It was hard to adjust my part time work schedule to be able to catch an early east coast start. Why did both these first two games in PA have to be early day games? Too bad so sad that the whole county did not tune in to the Rockies kicking ass today. :) Maybe next year the Marlins can have thier 22 fans tune in to TBS, and everything will be just keen.
Just got home from celebration party
WHAT A WIN! I bet none of you fools thought we would be 2 and 0 against the Cards, but hey, i got to say, thank you Matt Holliday. Looks like we’re going to be in the NLCS since we pretty much took away St.Louis’ spirits away, but you know… That wouldn’t be right if I just write them off, there are still 3 games to be played.
I know you guys are rooting against us, we love it. I don’t know what I would love more, beating you guys or getting revenge against Philly. Tough question. Whatever it is, just understand one thing, fear us.
And I didn’t mean to call anyone a fool here, you guys(Purple Row) are great fans/people… It’s just, well… Gee I don’t know, I’m sure you guys understand when you won game 163 back in ’07.
By the way
One heck of a game you guys played, well done. I don’t know what’s more impressive, winning in Philly or shutting up the media (i.e: ESPN). Yorvit’s bomb was really the perfect “eff you” moment in regards to the media. People should really recognize us (NL West) and give us some freakin’ credit. Rivalries aside, I think it’s fucken fantastic we’re in the playoffs and we’re succeeding, it’s going to be a crazy post-season (as if it already isn’t).
Way late here in Roxville....fire truck and dog woke me up.
Congrats on the win. If I were a Dodger’s fan ( excuse me, I had to repress the gag reflex as I wrote that :) I would be floating on a cloud 9 after that amazing win. Your good natured barbs, rivalry, and educated well though out comments are always welcome here. Granted, if we play you in the NLCS, we can be like a pit bulls guarding thier steak bones here…unpredictably protective and loyal like Marines to our boys in black-n-purple.
Sleep well Dodger fan, your team never gave up and I admire that alot!
