00:02 >> You're going to be in Philadelphia this weekend.
00:05 We know Red October has been a hit.
00:07 The atmosphere at the bank has been electric.
00:10 But from a TV ratings perspective, Rick,
00:13 how is this Major League Baseball postseason played out so far?
00:17 >> Well, all the pundits would say any series that don't have the Cubs,
00:21 Dodgers, Yankees, Mets are destined to fail.
00:25 I'm not so sure about that these days.
00:27 The storylines are really good in this situation.
00:31 And Philly fans are rabid.
00:33 There are more watch parties, and I know this anecdotally,
00:37 we'll have to see what the numbers are.
00:38 There are more Philly watch parties all over the country than any other
00:42 non-local team for their team.
00:46 It's a great following.

00:55 And the way they're playing, you gotta give Arizona their due.
00:59 They get two games at home, and then three.
01:03 I'm not sure if it makes it to that third game at home in Arizona.
01:08 And then I'm not sure if it makes it to game six back in Philly.
01:11 But that's a heck of a series.
01:12 And now the Houston series is back competitive again.
