ALCS Game 5 continued the trend in which the ratings have improved for every contest during the series, quite impressive for a blowout that ended very late, as usual.
The game attracted an average of 8.5 percent of households on Fox, up from 4.8 to 5.6 to 6.6 to 8.2.
The rating of 9.9 in New York was second-best after St. Louis, if you don't count markets in Ohio and New England, plus Denver (home of the NL champs) plus Fort Myers (the Red Sox' spring training home).
If there is a Game 7 the numbers should get pretty darn good. If the Red Sox survive, even the World Series has a fighting chance.

Do you get the images of baseball cards you post by scanning cards from your collection, or do you "borrow" them off the web?
Nice shot of ManRam. Clearly, this picture was taken before he lost his mind.
I decline to answer on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me.
Neil,
Thanks so much for posting Manny's baseball card. Manny did break a record during the ALCS by hitting the most homeruns in the postseason. Did anyone report on that?
I'm getting that feeling again...I hope they can do it again.
