A Philadelphia woman was arrested for offering sex in exchange for World Series tickets. Sometimes you don’t need a punchline.
Even though Doug Glanville roots for the Phillies, I generally enjoy reading his op-ed pieces in the Times. He comes off like a true, hardcore, nerdy baseball fan like myself, and one that just so happened to be good enough to make the Major Leagues. It’s only when he actually starts breaking the game down and advocating Marlon Anderson that he gets a bit bothersome.
The Mets will won’t will won’t pursue John Lackey. This is going to be an especially frustrating year of hot-stove nonsense, I think.
Today is the day every paper in the country runs its position-by-position World Series breakdown and picks which player at each position gives his team the edge. I still don’t get it. The shortstop doesn’t ever face the other shortstop, right?
