I see. But don't they schedule all the games for East Coast prime time anyway? It seems that you're right. For some reason in the Phils' series against the Rockies, they didn't consider that, and started in Denver at 9:37 ET, or was it 10:07. (Baseball bigwigs love 7s!)

Woman arrested for trying to trade sex for World Series ticketsOctober 28, 2009 By KITTY CAPARELLA So what would you trade for a coupla World Series tickets? Several hundred bucks? Your dog? Your first-born? How about creative serial sex? Step right up, Susan Finkelstein, 43, a rabid fan who really loves her Phillies. Married with children, current Penn grad student in liberal arts and onetime assistant PR director at the University of Pennsylvania, she posted an ad on Craigslist.com: "DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX (Philadelphia) "Diehard Phillies fan - gorgeous tall buxom blonde - in desperate need of two World Series Tickets. Price negotiable - I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!" Bensalem police were scouring Craigslist looking for illegal activities, like pornography, drug deals and child molesters, when they saw the ad from "Desperate." Posing as a ticketholder, an undercover cop called Finkelstein in Philadelphia and asked if they could meet in a Bensalem bar Monday night. At the bar, Finkelstein was willing to engage in various sexual acts in return for a ticket, said Bensalem Public Safety Director Fred Harran. Then, she asked if the ticketholder had two tickets, and he claimed he did and she was willing to up the sexcapades, according to Harran. After all, she posted on Facebook that she was "very, very liberal." "She was overcome with Phillies fever," said her attorney William J. Brennan. Well, Finkelstein got herself a ticket, but not for the World Series. She will be receiving a summons via mail at her home on St. Barnards Place near Springfield Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia to appear in Bensalem court on charges of soliciting prostitution and related misdemeanors. No court date is set. No one answered Daily News calls to her home. So how long did this sweettalking last? "It was quick," said Harran. "About as long as it takes Chase Utley to throw somebody out at second base." And what did the ticketholder look like? "Probably a cute guy if I was a woman," replied Harran. But when the cute cop clamped handcuffs on Finkelstein, Harran said, "I guess she realized she's not going to the World Series." Her Facebook comment after the arrest: "Susan Finkelstein is wondering about the integrity of the police."

As my cousin so brilliantly put it on Facebook, "Ah yes, the traditional 'We Didn't Lose The World Series' fireworks display."
Better to polish it off in NYC with Alicia and Jay-Z and Madonna vs. Kate Hudson and, I dunno, Carrot Top.

I still can't believe A-God is bangin' Kate Hudson. You're hot and ridiculously successful. Why are you with the most plain celebrity ever??!! This is enough for me to avoid the WS.

As much as I hated him before he joined the Yankees, was WILDLY displeased when he came on over, never really warmed to him, and consistently rolled my eyes when it took him like 88 years to get acclimated to NYC...dude is HOT AS HELL. x 10000 As for The Girlfriend...she can look a little sexy when she bothers:

Alexander has always been hot as hell. I've been dying to do him since I was a pre-teen. He's the quintessential case of sports fans being jealous of someone who has it all.
Kate is still plain. Stupid fake eyelashes are stupid. I had more curves when I was 12.

Good. Now, A-Rod, Matsui, etc... are all "True Yankees" and dumbass baseball fans can shut the hell up.

A-Rod is too pretty. And I'd never really thought of it before, but Kate Hudson kind of is bland. Pretty, but in a bland way.

2009: Lakers win. Yankees win. Serena wins. St Kim wins. Tiger returns. What a horrible, horrible sports year! Please, God, do NOT allow this nightmare to happen again EVER!

Tiger did not win, though. Nor did Black/Huber. And the Series is actually a moment.

No, it is. Much better for the sport for the Yankees to win, of course, and also they are a great team who shouldn't have gone through this long of a drought, except for the fact that they choked all the time when it mattered.

Sports needs the "bad guy" with the advantages to win once in a while, or then there's no significance in conquering them.
And Tiger didn't win anything of note in '09. A very Safina-like year.
