SnakePit Post-season GDT, #22

Writer Jim McLennan hosts a Game Day Thread focusing on the World Series matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays. With Milwaukee leading the series 3-1, McLennan speculates humorously about financial incentives for extending the series, noting the potential revenue generated by returning to American Family Field for Game 6 and Game 7 rather than finishing in Tampa Bay.

McLennan highlights ticket revenues beyond Game 4, concession sales, and television broadcast interests as commercial motivations that favor longer series. He points out that nine of the previous thirteen World Series reached at least six games, with none ending in a sweep, ahead of Game 5's broadcast on FOX.
