What BBN said about it
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIt's 11:40 Eastern, this is Finally, Some Good News, and I'm already welling up, because the Milwaukee Brewers lead the Dodgers three games to none in the National League Championship Series.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThey are doing it while striking out more than Los Angeles, which is supposed to be the wrong way to do this.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThey struck out more and they're winning anyway. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a box score.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFox News says it proves October has no secret formula.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNo formula? So every how-to-win-in-October column ever written was just a bedtime story?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCorrect. And I have covered classified briefings that were less comforting.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistCan I get that on a pillow? There is no formula. I'd sleep so well.
