The NLCS was excellent last night. The ratio wasn't a full 16x9, but the picture was stunning.

What I saw last night was the same as every other DTV Fox Sports broadcast: 480i upconverted to 480p, a pseudo 14:9 AR stretched, SD image. IMHO, the word excellent does not apply here at all.
I get a better image by upconverting the analog NTSC image, at least it's the correct AR.
There is no comparison between Fox Sports and CBS or HDNet native HDTV sports broadcasts, none.
Fox does not make any claim regarding HDTV. Publicly, they steadfastly insist 480p is more that good enough for the American consumer.
What may have happened, is that your local Fox station improved their upconversion.
