I would be thrilled to watch the Rockies even though I paid little attention to them during the season. They are on a streak of historic proportions, and isn't that enough of an incentive for people to watch? Don't fans want to know more about these guys who we never heard of a month ago?

And what is this obsession with starting a game in prime time? I don't care about the first inning, I want to see the 9th inning! Start the games early, so that at 10:00 PM they are playing the 8th inning and not the 2nd inning. People will stay up later than usual to watch an exciting finish, but if they are ready for bed and the game is in the bottom of the 3rd inning they are going to bail out.

Everyone talks about bottom line, but you only make money if people are actually watching.
