Right now, there are TV executives across the nation waving voodoo dolls and tikis in the direction of tonight's Braves/Giants Game 5, praying for an Atlanta victory. San Francisco has Barry Bonds (not exactly Mr. October OR Mr. Congeniality) and a cast of thousands. Minnesota is a feel-good story, but a small TV market. St. Louis isn't exactly a ratings dynamo. Anaheim: see Minnesota.
I shudder to think what kind of ratings disaster could come out of an Anaheim-San Fran series, or a Minnesota-St. Louis rematch...

San Fran/Oak/SJ has a huge TV market, as does Anaheim (since they're part of the LA market)...although I don't know how many LA folks would be on the Angels' bandwagon and Oak/SJ folks on the Giants'. Atlanta wouldn't be bad either. Now Mpls-St. Paul or St. Louis...yep, that'd be like the Florida-Cleveland series.
