I Like The New World Series Format

I like the new World Series format and I vote they keep it.

Fox can continue to start games at 8:40 to ensure that Phillies fans in Los Angeles don't miss a pitch (because Phillies fans in LA are all home by 5:40).

When a team has won three games in the series, any potentially clinching game will be played in two parts. The game will be suspended after 6 innings, then the next night (or the next night that doesn't compete against football) the Series Shootout will resume at 8:40pm.

I loved it. I got to see the end of a playoff game for the first time since about 1980. Fox got their late start. The Phillies got to jack everyone for parking twice. More beer and hot dogs were sold. Phillies fans in Los Angeles had a convenient start time. Barack got to have his own tv show. Everybody wins!

Devils And Bears Oh My

The Newark Bears are filing for bankruptcy. Why? They're in Newark.

I like the Atlantic League. Hit a LI Ducks game sometime, it's tons of fun. In fact you pull into a big giant free parking lot and walk 10 feet into a park that still feels band new. The game is less important than the fun between innings. Kids have a ball.

Meanwhile in Newark you get to drive to a crowded aging still scary city (sorry Corey). There's a tiered lot – everyone loves those. Sure you're encouraged to take mass transit. The NJT system is horrible enough at rush hour. You want to wait 59 minutes for a train if you don't time things right?

Meanwhile a few blocks away the Devils have announced they don't want to pay the rent. That's what Newark gets for building this new unneccesary arena. You know that $2.1 million the Devils were going to pay? Pysche!

A few miles up the road an unnecessary football stadium is being built – with no rail link. There's a giant parking lot sitting there day after day but no rail link to nyc.

The Giants get their blood money in PSLs. The Devils get their fancy new building on which they don't pay rent. As for the Bears – sorry, nobody cared. Good try.

Dopey Jets Don’t Sell Out PSLs

Today we salute Jets fans.

The dopey perennial loser Jets put 2000 seats out there for the PSL auction.

Sure they got one a-hole to pay $400,000 for seats he intends to scalp, but as of this morning 1400 of the 2000 seats are unsold.

Good job Jets fans. I hope nobody buys them.

A-Hole Pays Jets $400,000 For Seats He Won’t Use

From the Post:
 
The douche who paid $400,000 for a PSL says.
 
“It’s a function of wanting the best, both as a lifelong fan and as a business investment,”
 
“I purchased them for my son, Brandon, 11, and my daughter, Brooke, 7. I will probably continue to sit in my current seats.”
 
So it he sending a 7 year old to the Jets game or does he plan to scalp them for 10 years.  Nice going Jets.  Enjoy your money.
 
In other PSL news, the 6-1 Super Bowl champion Giants cannot compete in the modern NFL without a new stadium.
