World Series matchup Fox fears

im pretty sure they would love to have the pirates in the WS

They would rather have the Dodgers red Sox

Rays are the only team in the postseason that won't turn on a ton of tv's

I would love to see the Pirates and Indians. Most markets deserve it. The Penn-Ohio Turnpike series

Battles in Youngstown 1.2 way between both

MLB embarrassed by Oakland Coliseum

Braves would bring higher ratings than Indians

Of course they would prefer one or both of the major market teams in there. Its better ratings for them. As much as most people would love to see the underdog/cinderella team get in, it may not translate to a big TV number

No they wouldn't. Only baseball fans who would have watched anyway would watch. The Pirates won't draw any casual interest.

The only team that would draw casual interest is the Dodgers. Even the Red Sox are pretty unremarkable compared to the past.

I always thought it was nuts that the Giants and A's met in the WS and a major earthquake struck the Bay Area during a game (well, almost). I wonder what the combined chances are of 1) the Giants and A's meeting in the WS 2) an earthquake hitting the Bay Area of that magnitude 3) an earthquake hitting the Bay Area of that magnitude in October 4) an earthquake hitting the Bay Area of that magnitude in October during a WS game.
