The Yankees and Mets are both up 1-0 in their respective Division Series. I think a series between these teams would be much better than the 2000 World Series.
Everyone in New York wants a Subway Series, but FOX Sports execs (and the rest of the country) probably want the St. Louis Cardinals to advance to face the Yankees. The Cardinals are the most storied franchise in baseball outside of New York (9-time World Series winners) and they were the westernmost baseball team for a good part of the 20th Century (before the Dodgers & Giants left New York for California in the 50s). The radio broadcasts of their games on KMOX 1120AM made them the #1 team of every baseball fan west of the Mississippi. (In 2006 KMOX lost the broadcast rights to Cardinals games to a radio station (KTRS) owned by the Cardinals.) Though their fan base is smaller nowadays with several other teams moving west and multiple expansions of MLB, I imagine most people would still root for the Cards over the Evil Empire.
