And then there were five...
Three of the teams in the League Championship Series have already been decided, with one more spot from the NL that could be decided as early as tonight. Oakland-Detroit most likely beats Minnesota-Detroit in television ratings, so Fox is probably satisfied with that, even though I'm willing to bet losing the Yankees hurt a smidgen. By this logic, TV execs are probably rooting for the Cardinals to win this series with San Diego, but they probably wouldn't mind if it was extended for one more day to have the drama of a Game 5.
NLDS Game 4
San Diego at St Louis
Williams vs Carpenter
I was listening to NPR's "Only a Game" yesterday and they had a reporter from San Diego say that even if the Padres came back to beat the Cardinals, the Mets and the eventual AL Champions to win the World Series they would still probably be San Diego's second team to the Chargers. So, here's a Rockies question:
How many World Series championships do you think it would take for the Rockies to overtake the Broncos as Denver's favorite team?
