And to think the talking heads on TV were all worried about Lidge closing.

Because he had a poor season

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

I know. It's just ironic that he's been one of the most reliable closers this offseason.

eh

[Namaste]

Go blue.

I am really hoping they pound Philly

Huston Street also blew the last game in the 2006 ALCS.

Even with the fact that 3 of the 4 series were sweeps, and none went the full 5 games, TBS’s exclusive coverage of the MLB League Division Series (LDS) led the network to its most-viewed week in the 33-year history of the network. For the 2009 LDS, TBS garnered double-digit increases in ratings, total viewers and households. Over the course of 13 LDS games, TBS averaged a 3.1 US household rating, up 11%, and an 11% increase in total viewers (4,769,000 vs. 4,282,000) when compared to the 2008 LDS. In addition, the 2009 LDS has averaged 3,575,000 households, an increase of 11%.

Last week, TBS averaged 5.4 million viewers, 4.0 million households, 1.1 million adults 18-34, 2.5 million adults 18-49 and 2.5 million adults 25-54 in primetime. In addition, TBS was ad-supported cable’s #1 network for the week in primetime and on a total day basis among households, viewers and key demographics.

For TBS’s six days of MLB Postseason coverage, the network saw strong growth in all key demos when compared to 2008, including:

A18-34: +11%; 956,000 this year vs. 859,000 in 2008
A18-49: +7%; 2,057,000 vs. 1,925,000

I can't believe they actually topped the season premiere of House of Payne.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Gee, it's shocking that they got so many viewers with both LA teams, the Yankees, the Red Sox and the Phillies making the playoffs. Never would have guessed that the teams in some of the largest media markets would have people tune in to watch them play.

[Metes]

You underestimate the impact of Shreveport, LA, on House of Payne.

Madman, do black people really like this Tyler Perry guy?
