I wonder if anyone else has had the vague impression that the entire series, as well as each game, was scripted/choreographed by the network? Consider that the series went 7 games, maximizing viewer hours. Also, three of the games, including the series winning last one, were decided in the 9th inning, assuring maximum tension and drama, ingrediants to all successfull fiction. As Deep Throat told Carl Bernstein(sp?) during the Watergate investigation: "follow the money". Now, before the peasants storm the castle with pitchforks and torches, let me say this isn't an idea dredged up from my own twisted mind. I recall some commentator raising it on TV after the 4th game. Obviously, the guy was a delusional paranoid......right? I guessI I'm just a cynic at heart.
