It is impossible to manage irrational rantings and conspiracies. The fact is, the number of people who would have to be involved in a conspiracy like some would suggest (the NBA has been accused of this also) is too high to keep it a secret. The cost of getting caught is too high, and far outweighs any short term benefit that might be gained. And in this particular case, the conspiracy should have gone the other way; prolonging a series the Yankees were going to win anyway.
None of that matters, however, to those who hear black helicopters and wear tinfoil hats. For them, the lack of evidence and implausibility only prove their theories true.
