What BZF overlooked in his drunken and / or drugged stupor is that few 'Best of 7' series actually get to the seventh game.Just stunning that only two of the chase elimination races with it's four Game 7 guaranteedments made the top ten.
Am I supposed to believe that simple primative stand alone events can overcome the pre-manufactored dramas.
