Hottie of the week (just signed)

By Miss Cin City

Tony Pena Jr was just signed to play for the Giants.

He comes from a baseball family and it shows!

Featured! (Player we are into this week)
Wow - he grew up fast and got hot! The SEC MVP Greg McElroy, #12 went 12 of 18 for 239 yards and a touchdown. Not bad.

Really? (I mean Really??!!??)
Who hasn't arrived at work in the wee hours of the morning and wanted to sit down in their own private grey walled cubicle and pour themselves a tall, cold, bubbly mimosa? Who amongst us hasn't dreamed of walking to the office in sweatpants and flip flops? But we live in the real world. No not the show on MTV. But the real - real world. Where we have to be coherant and presentable at work. Who does Ron Artest think he is? Does he think it is really alright to don his "nicest" boxers and call it a outfit on a late night talk show. And now it comes out that he drank (I just threw up a bit in my mouth) Hennessey during halftime? I think this might mean you have a problem. No not with alcohol but with your mind...what a crazy! Soon we will see you roaming the Lower East Side and talking to yourself.

You gotta love (what did right by us!)
So Jet Blue. How great is it to fly Jet Blue? The leather seats - the funny faux attitudes and thank goodness for the TV! On my recent flight to sunny (well Ok actually its raining...) I sat in front of the worst Fran Drescher inpersonator. OMG! And she could not stop talking about how, "Tiger's wife should just keep her mouth shut for 2 more years - b/c then her contract would upgrade to a $55 mill payout if - I mean when - they divorce." Please. And then she did her best throaty laugh - he ha he ha. So annoying, which is why I said earlier - thank you Jet Blue for the TV - so I put in my noise canceling ear buds and relaxed. Then, on final approach, The Captain, said it as going to get bumpy. No worries. I took out my ear buds just in time to hear (3 hours later!!) they the 3 behind me were still talking Tiger (or Cheetah) as the one in the middle referred to him as. The one on the isle said, " well my sister works in Vegas and she sees Tiger all the time at her club. He is definitely a Cheetah!" So annoying!!


At the Game: The Kids Are Alright (Knicks vs Nets)
It was "Knicks City Kids" day at Madison Square Garden and they provided the best entertainment for a game featuring two of the worst teams in the NBA. While the Nets looked sharp in the 1st half and threatened to win their 2nd(!) game of the seaon, the crowd was entertained by kids ranging in age from 12-5 who sang, juggled, played the organ, announced and dj'd (the five year old - DJ CJ). My ovaries were ready to explode from the cute overload!

Oh yeah, the Knicks won 106-97. Towards the end of the game, fans started chanting "We want Nate", referring to the 5-foot-9 Nate Robinson, a fan favorite, who hasn't played in the last three games. Coach Mike D'Antoni was not impressed or moved to heed the fans request. The Knicks have won three of their last 4 games.

SNL - Breaking News: The Tiger Woods Drama
So what do you guys think? Was this appropriate for SNL when Rihanna was the guest musician? Is it ever right to make fun of domestic abuse - even if it's the guy receiving it? To be honest, I thought it was funny. But maybe I shouldn't have?

Loser of the Week (Player we don't love right now)



Oh Tiger.
Tiger, Tiger, Tiger.
Really? (In my best Amy Poehler voice).
A hot, blond, Swede wasn't good enough for you?
Really?
Voicemails, sexting, and email evidence?
Really?
A car accident at 2am in your drive-way that had nothing to do with your angry, hot, blond Swedish wife trying to putt you into the ground with your best 4-iron?
REALLY?
Worst of all - you will now be known as the cliche male athlete:
you had everything but wanted more.

The voicemail

Hottie of the Week (Player we love right now)

Bernard Scott - so cute! He's a rookie playing for the Bengals. He has yet to score (a touchdown that is) but we think he has super potential for the playoffs.





Score (featured game of the week)

Is it Monday yet? The New Orleans Saints (still hot - still a perfect 10-0) will play the New England patriots (7-3) at the New Orleans Superdome. Hottie Reggie Bush is asking all fans to wear all black to the game. Nice! Just my style. His good taste in clothing color still does not make up for his bad taste in ladies. He reconciled with Kim toomuchmakeup Kardashian in September. Now, after some time apart, they are

back together and looking for a house to share. Kim has said that they have decided to make it work between them - is that the sign of true love? - Miss Cin City

What to do Turkey day (besides a tryptophan overdose)

Give your parents and girlfriend a tour of your new 30 thousand plus sq. ft. home scheduled to be completed next year in Tampa.

Workout (as if.) A Rod and Kate Hudson were spotted at the Gold's Gym in Venice working out on Thursday morning. Both are sporting grey workout gear and shades. Very incognito. - Miss Cin City

Happy Holidays (pay it forward)

So pro football player Will Anderson left his Mac laptop and iphone in the ATL airport yesterday when he was traveling with his son. A good hearted lady named Alison Wilson turned it in and got it back to him. She refused a cash reward so he is sending her a signed jersey. So cool. A perfect Holiday story that makes me want to curl up with a spiked hot chocolate and watch my new DVD of a crackling fire. - Miss Cin City

Movies being watched now (Is Saturday night date night or what??)

This has been a great Thanksgiving weekend. By the time Saturday night rolled around I was ready to escape from my life by way of a movie. I love going to the movies. Being in a sold out theatre with stadium seating and great surround sound. Having said that, you could not pay me enough to see The Blind Side. I saw 2012. It was depressing - I mean it is about the end of the world. And not many of us survive. But the special effects were great (overall 3.5 stars.) I was not the only one watching highly paid actors on screen. Danika Patrick watched Gran Torino (I rated this move 3 stars) and Ryan Newman watched Forrest Gump (wtf?) (2 stars) presumably in their respective private screens rooms in their houses. Nice date night selections. -Miss Cin City.

Featured! (Most inspiring player this week)

What is the best way to drop a few pounds? Well exercise of course. But when Eddy Curry

of the NY Knicks discussed his recent dramatic weight loss, he explained that the most

effective part of his diet was giving up surgary soda and fruit juice. And it worked because he

looks great! Now he will be put to the test when he plays his first game of the season, back after

recovering from an injury, all of NYC is hoping he can revive his terrible team in the hopes they

actually win a game. - Miss Cin City

Score! (points for controversy)

People will do anything for publicity. It's so sad. And what happened to just being caught getting out of a limo with no drawers on? Do you really have to stoop as low and to make fun of a skin condition? Apparently so. The Miami Herald is reporting that the (self proclaimed) King of All Spanglish Media (wtf?) Enrique Santos claims he was wrongfully booted from Sammy Sosa's big birthday party at Miami hot spot Fountainebleau, for wearing make up to make him super dark - e.i. the doppelganger of Sammy Sosa.

Here is Sammy with green contacts after the use of a skin creme. And here is the "King" in makeup - I would have kicked him out and kicked his ass. - Miss Cin City

Vaca! (How and where to spend your much deserved post season)

Ah St. Barts. The perfect turquoise blue water that meets with the periwinkle clear blue sky. Just
imagining this popular tourist destination makes me squirm in my cubicle chair and long

for a vacation of my own. And while I am at it, I will dream of having enough cash to rent my own private beach! That's right, pristine white sand that warms my feet as I walk along hand in hand with my "captain" of a boyfriend. So private and secluded. Well ok just a few paparazzi because hey I look hot in this mismatched bikini. Ok so you may have realized that I tried to turn my own life into the life of actress Minka Kelly. Her life is all about sports - from acting on "Friday Night Lights" to dating (come on - are they engaged or not??) Yankee Captain Derek Jeter. Aren't they having a blast??

Hopefully they will be looking at more than just each others eyes while in St. Barts. The architecture all over the island is reminiscent of the lines of the thatched roofs from Normandy, France. That is worthy of at least one digital photo Minka.

Open

Andre Agassi's autobiography Open sounds like a juicy and fascinating read. Agassi is very open
about his crystal meth use(!), marriage to Brooke, his hair piece (!!!) and his struggle as professional tennis player. I'm adding this to my Christmas list.

Here are a couple of quotes from the book:

"I’m a young man, relatively speaking. Thirty-six. But I wake as if ninety-six. After three decades of sprinting, stopping on a dime, jumping high and landing hard, my body no longer feels like my body, especially in the morning. Consequently my mind doesn’t feel like my mind. Upon opening my eyes I’m a stranger to myself, and while, again, this isn’t new, in the mornings it’s more pronounced. I run quickly through the basic facts. My name is Andre Agassi. My wife’s name is Stefanie Graf. We have two children, a son and daughter, five and three. We live in Las Vegas, Nevada, but currently reside in a suite at the Four Seasons hotel in New York City, because I’m playing in the 2006 U.S. Open. My last U.S. Open. In fact my last tournament ever. I play tennis for a living, even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion, and always have."

"Of course I could play without my hairpiece. But after months of derision, criticism, mockery, I'm too self-conscious," he wrote. "Image Is Everything? What would they say if they knew? Win or lose, they wouldn't talk about my game. They'd only talk about my hair. I can close my eyes and almost hear it. And I know I can't take it."

Hollywood and Sports
Believe it or not, there was another movie that opened this weekend besides that vampire/werewolf movie (which I may or may not have watched) The Blind Side tells the true story of Balitmore Raven Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youth, taken in by a well-to-do white family. It's gotten good reviews and it is a pretty amazing story. But everytime I saw the preview, I groaned. Sandra Bullock looked and sounded like she was trying to hard and I didn't like her character. Here's the trailer, what do you think? -MsAngeles

Featured! (Game, team or player we are into today)

Who dey! Who dey! Today the Bengals were able to win big against division rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers - in Pittsburgh! The defence looked unbelievable! They took Big Ben Roethlisberger down - sacking him 4 times. It is so great to see him on his ass or better yet with the front of his helmet in the turf. A great win, and it happened even before my good luck Touch by Alyssa Milano Bengals sweatshirt arrived! But back to reality, Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer says they are not in shape enough to win the Superbowl. At least they are realizing this early enough that they have time to improve... Best part the game today? Hearing Muse as the NFL Today went to commercial. - Miss Cin City

Hot Athlete of the Week (is this droolworthy?)

Merriam Webster defines a hobo as "a homeless and usually penniless vagabond." That is not how I would describe Derek Jeter - until now. He was spotted shooting a new Will Ferrell movie in Coney Island called "The Other Guys" where he plays just that. Costumed in a wig and dirty clothes in NYC, he was all laughs between takes as the female fans swooned. Is it wrong to be attracted to this? - Miss Cin City

Spotted (celebs out and about)

Vince Vaughn loves hockey. This week he watched the Blackhawks win in a shootout sitting front and center. And how cool that his lady like to drink pints of beer! - Miss Cin City

Vaca! (or in this case - a place to avoid)

At FedEx Field, where the Washington Redskins play, you can buy beer in the mens bathroom. Now I love beer. But buying in the place where someone goes to get rid of it is too gross. According to Extreme Skins, the official message board of the team, it has been going on for like a year. So ladies, one more reason to avoid the mens bathroom. - Miss Cin City

Only in LA

What do you do when a hamstring injury prevents you from playing basketball? Well, if you live in LA, why not act? That's what Pau Gasol was doing. The 7-ft Spaniard is going to be on CSI: Miami tonight. What about his day job? Well, he supposedly might start practicing again. Lakers fans are happy to hear this. They've lost 2 in a row (blasphemy!).

Hot Athlete of the Week (it's all about the clothes)

The whole world knows that the New York Yankees won their 27th World Series. Since the end of title clinching game 6 the Yankees hottest players have been on a PR worldwide tour. And now we are really seeing some true talent. CC Sabathia was a guest (via satellite) on Jay Leno for the "10 questions at 10" segment. He looked super cute! Wearing a military style green jacket over a crisp white T. And he was at 30 Roc out in the cold so he also sported an adorable old school beanie. He was nice and charming during the questions - and his smile! So cute! He is definitely my HAOTW.

Now on to the Parade for the Yankees going up the "Canyon of Heroes" in lower Manhattan. Of course the Yankees were all smiles. But my smile vanished as soon as I saw the hat A Rod was sporting. Ok he is dressed in all black clothes - Jay Z style. But really? What year does he think this is?

Onto basketball: the Least Hot Athlete of the Week though, makes A Rod look like the Diva he is. I am talking about Lebron James. I mean - can you guess what Emo band playing on his I Pod right before this press conference? Yes he killed the Knicks scoring 19 points all by himself in the first quarter but that is no excuse!

Keep on Running

Featured! (Game, team or player we are into today)

Today was a perfect day in NYC.  What's the best way to recover from a wet Halloween parade followed by a steamy costume party? How about running over 26 miles through the 5 boros. Bright and early this morning the 40th incarnation of the ING NYC Marathon started in Staten Island. For the women this year, when the elite 5 (who are all moms) broke away from the rest of the pack heading up First Ave toward the Bronx  you could feel the intense determination of Paula Radcliff (UK) as she lead.  But with only 2 miles until the finish line she faltered and gave way to Derartu Tulu from Ethiopia. The bigger news is that Meb Keflezighi (USA) finished first for the men.  He is the first American to win since 1982.  He finished in just over 2 hours and 9 minutes.  As he crossed the finish line Lenny Kravit's "Always on the run" was playing.

Vaca! (cool tidbits for your sports holiday)

If you find yourself in the city of brotherly love (you'd never know it was nicknamed that by the way the fans act) don't be surprised if, when you arrive by train you get booed like the Yankees did. And if you have time after your World Series game to do a bit of site seeing you must check out the Arshile Gorky exhibit at the Philly Museum of Art.

Make a Difference (ways to get involved)

So many people were running the Marathon today for a charity.  52 year old Joan Benoit Samuelson ran in a bright yellow Livestrong tank top.  Anthony Edwards ran to raise awareness for Shoe 4 Africa. He is big into this charity, even donating his $125,000 salary from the final episode of ER last year to the cause.  You can help their with their latest venture of building a new hospital in Africa.

Best, Miss Cin City

The NBA

Last night was the beginning of the NBA season with last years champs, the LA Lakers, playing their hometown "rivals" the LA Clippers. The Lakers were awarded their championship rings and beat the Clippers. But most importantly who has the better "wife tattoo"? Kobe or Lamar?

























I'm gonna go with Lamar....his seems easier and less painful to remove when that lovin feelin is lost. Or he could say "KO" stands for "Knock Out!"

The Cavs and Celtics played last night too. The Cavs looked sharp in the first quarter, but could not keep it up (that's what she said) and lost to the Celtics. Shaq did look good in his Cavs debut. It'll be interesting to see how he and Lebron work together. Maybe he'll let us know what he's feeling on twitter? Too bad twitter wasn't around when he was playing with Kobe.

ALCS on Fox

Featured! (Game, team or player we are into today)

The ALCS on Fox. In general, we are not fans of Fox. Our fav shows are on NBC. But we love the technology Fox is using - the split screen between the pitcher and batter simultaneously with a picture in picture for the catcher giving the signs. Very cool. And the heated discussion of the use of instant replay in the commentators box. As bias as they both are it was sort of interesting to listen to. But should this game get any longer? We do not think so. If they use more instant replay it better be in fast real time - the technology is out there. The fans can adapt. What we do not love: the sponsored "freeze cam." That editor should be fired. We get it - he is working fast - but come on. Half the time the freeze shows something unrelated to the play or even blocks the play behind it. Nice try at a new way to market beer.

Score! (Gossip, interviews and intelligent scoops)

Crazy game last night - the 7th inning in particular. 9 runs and 2 lead changes between the Yankees and the Angels.

On another note:

Blonde actress/bartender asked for, and got! (according to Page Six) Mark Sanchez's digits while he was celebrating his brothers b day at the bar where she holds court and makes tips. Think it was his real number? His reps did not comment.

Impress! (Facts and figures to impress your date or mate)

How awesome is the 7th inning stretch? Thanks to wikipedia today we learned that the tradition of the 7th inning stretch dates back to the 1800's. What? Possibly beginning because of restless students at a Manhattan College baseball game they were told to stand up and get out their pent up energy. It worked. Now it has gone so far that stadiums have their own traditions - like last night at Angels Stadium. The play "Build me up buttercup," by the Foundations of 1968. Do you know the song - either from the movie Mallrats or There's Something About Mary? Don't get us wrong, it is a good sing along bar song, but really? Is that song supposed to get the crowd riled up and in the game? Not so sure. On to the Bronx for game 6 on Saturday!

The New Jersey Turnpike Series

Featured! (Game, team or player we are into today)
Congratulations Phillies! You beat the Dodgers and are going to the World Series for the second year in a row!

The other LA team of Anaheim isn't doing so well either. Look for the Yankees to end the series tonight.

Anyone else kind of bored by the ALCS and NLCS? It seems like only two teams really showed up to play and they weren't playing each other.

Also, can we come up with a better name than the NJ Turnpike Series?

Score! (Gossip, interviews and intelligent scoops)




Yeah, I would grab it too.

Slogans and Such

Featured! (Game, team or player we are into today)

Tonight the Yankees and Angels play game 4 of the ALCS. Will we be watching to see who will play best - yes. But we are really interested in who will manage best. The true game will be between Joe Girardi and Mike Scioscia. It is so important to make player moves that matter but they must be made at the right time. Changing pitchers, subbing faster base runners, these choices can shape a game.

Scioscia kept the Angels catcher Jeff Mathis in the game instead of pinch running for him. He later had the game winning walk off hit in the bottom of the 11th. Having faith in your players is key. Girardi needs to learn not not over manage his bullpen. The Yankees were down to their last pitcher. So tonight - let's see if he recovers for if Scioscia can prey on his weakness.

Impress! (Facts and figures to to use on Trivia Night)

Slogans galore! Can't you just feel the fall air and the excitement in sports right now! We have Baseball in the Post Season. Its so exciting we almost dropped our knitting watching the Angels and Yankees in extra innings last night! We have Football where the talented teams are leaving the blah teams in the dust.

And we are on final countdown to the season opening games for the NBA. We would like to discuss basketball team tactics. Intimidation and loyalty are our top 2. We love slogans and the NBA has some of the best sports slogans out there. A few that really shine:

Toughest:

The Atlanta Hawks. Now you know.

It's like, "yeah we just pounded you - now deal with it!"

Tearjerker:

The Indiana Pacers. Passion. Pride. Pacers.

It makes you so happy to just be even a little old fan of the Pacers.

Most Futile:

The Cleveland Cavaliers. All for one. One for all.

Will they change this once Lebron James leaves after this season?

For the loyal:

The New York Knicks. Declare your team.

This one can really unite the largest city in the country. Plus we loath the Nets and can do so together as one. (The New Jersey Nets. More than a game. Yeah its about a state that is not a cool as New York!)

Vaca! (cool tidbits for your sports holiday)

And speaking of New York. It is a tough town. The Sports Museum of America only lasted here for about a year before going bankrupt and closing. Sure it was in a bad location. Sure they did not have $$ to do good marketing. But there is lots of other cool stuff to do in New York (like at all costs avoiding the ESPN Zone in Times Square).

Our current fav place to watch games and eat cheesy tater tots & yummy onion rings: The Stumble Inn: http://nymag.com/listings/bar/the-stumble-inn/

But if you go, keep in mind they do not take reservations. And you may have to scramble / fight for a table when one opens up. We got lucky and eyed a group leaving so we scored! They have lots of flat screens and a decent selection of beer - but Amstel Light and Heineken were sorely missed. The best part though, they play good rock music during the commercials. It is a nice touch and really keeps up the moral and excitement.

Perfect so far

Featured! (Game, team or player we are into today)


Yesterday, the New Orleans Saints played great football vs. the New York Giants. So far they are playing perfect football this season, they are 5 and 0. This is the 3rd time, in the whole 43 year history of the team, they have started a season with this record. Marques Colston, wide receiver, had 166 yards today and scored a touchdown. Sunday he was the fav receiver for quarterback Drew Brees. And no pressure - he performed like this in front of a sold out Superdome, 70,011 people.

Score! (Gossip, interviews and intelligent scoops)

28 year old not so cute Russian, Nikolay Davydanko won the first ever Shanghai Masters, beating super cute Rafael Nadal. Winning in the largest city in China must have cool for the Iron Man of tennis. He plays in more matches yearly than any other pro. Playing since he left his parents in the Ukraine at 11 years old, he is hoping this may finally be his year.

It’s supposed to be a pleasant 76 degrees today in LA when the Dodgers battle the Phillies in Game 1 of the NLCS. But I bet the owner’s box will be a lot chillier.

Poor right-hander Jeff Weaver. He was left off the roster for the NLCS by Dodger Manager Joe Torre. His brother, Jered, is most likely starting in Game 3 of the ALCS for the Angels. The last time brothers faced each other in the World Series was 1964 (Ken and Clete Boyer). At least now their parents don’t have to choose whom to root for.

Greg Biffle, who will be 40 this year, is writing an "online diary" - hello! we call that blogging - for USA Today (I am sure they will insert typos to match the rest of the paper.) He will write about the Chase for the Sprint Cup (otherwise known as the trophy for who won the most races this year, which has a giant Sprint logo on it and is filled with millions of dollars.) He has never won the cup, and most likely will not win this year. So he will be able to write about the Chase with a true, unbiased, not bitter, journalistic view. We will see.

Just Another Halo Victory

Featured! (Game, team or player we are into today)

Angels beat the Red Sox 7-6 and move on to the ALCS!

Ok, not just another victory. This was huge! (that’s what she said*) If you’re an Angels fan like me, you know that the Angels and Red Sox have history. The “classy” Red Sox brought in Dave Henderson to throw out the first pitch for good luck before Game 3 of the ALDS and a nice little reminder of 1986 when Henderson helped bring back the Red Sox from the brink of elimination with a home run off relief pitcher Donnie Moore. The Angels were one pitch away from going to the World Series, but with that home run, Henderson tied the game and the Red Sox won in extra innings. The series went back to Boston and the Angels lost both games there and the series. While the Red Sox chose to live in the past, the Angels lived in the present all the way to the top of the ninth inning when they scored 3 runs with 2 outs to beat the Red Sox 7-6. Maybe the Angels should thank Boston for the reminder – it’s not over til it’s over!

Bring on the Yankees! Game 1 is this Friday.


*Exactly how bad is it if you’re at a wedding and the groom is having trouble putting the ring on the bride’s finger, the priest says “push a little harder” and I say under my breadth “that’s what she said!”?

Impress! (Facts and figures to impress your date or mate)

Next time you meet a Red Sox fan, ask them about Bill Buckner, but be prepared to lose a limb. The Red Sox were up 3 games to 2 in the 1986 World Series against the Mets. Game 6 went to the bottom of the 10th with Boston up by 3. But poor pitching helped the Mets tie the game and then a ground ball to Buckner, which should have been an easy out, rolled under his glove and the Mets ended up winning Game 6. The Mets went on to win the World Series in Game 7.

We tried to find someone cute on the Dolphins team to compare but alas, no luck. We will be looking for Joey Porter though, who has been pro for 11 seasons (3rd as a Dolphin.) www.miamidolphins.com has a hilarious pic of him next to their logo - it makes him very intriguing...

Score! (Gossip, interviews and intelligent scoops)

Tonight Sanchez will face another first year quaterback starter - Chad Henne. He is engaged to his high school girlfriend Brittany, and the wedding is planned for July. She sports a 5.2 karat engagement ring.

Some of us here at Sports by Girls love NY. Some of us love LA. This should make for an exciting ALCS. Hopefully there will be drinks to go along with the smack talking.

Lets start with Bobby Abreu. Known as El Comedulce he signed a 1 year contract with LAA for $5 million - a big pay cut from what he made last year with the Yankees. El Comedulce means literally the candy eater - but around MLB it has become "sweet as candy."

The NY Knicks have a new player - the 7 foot tall Darko Milicic. And he is super cute. But don't get too excited girls - he just got married and had a baby!

Originally from Serbia, 7 years ago he was thought to be the best upcoming player but has not done much, as the Pistons, Magic and Grizzlies never gave him a chance. Lets see if he is a going to be a star with the Knicks this year. Tonight they play an exhibition game at the Celtics tonight. We love the Celtics uniforms! You can't go wrong with green clovers!

According to www.nba.com/knicks the coach says: “You see his potential,” D’Antoni said. "Sometimes you get guys right at the right moment.”

What else is on TV?

It must be frustrating to watch all the other teams play in the Post Season, while you take a trip to Disneyland. Stupid Red Sox - guess they think they are too good to spend time practicing.

So the Red Sox play the Angels tonight. Not sure who we want to lose more - in fact we wish they both could lose. Since the game is on the West Coast for us on the East Coast it begins too late to even watch (9:37 pm EST.) I am sure all Bostonians will be tired tomorrow. According to www.mlb.com the Red Sox are 9-1 in their three American League Division Series vs. the Angels. Will this year be different? OK so maybe it will be better if the Red Sox win so the Yankees can avoid the Angels and have the chance to kill the Red Sox later.

Did you see Jay Z at the Yankees game last night? Yes he was next to Kate Hudson who had a camera on her the whole night... Yes he was wearing weirdo square black granny sunglasses...Yes he looked like a cartoon version of himself mixed with Flavor Flav. No mention of Mayor Bloomberg, who has a much better seat behind the batter.

The Angels play at the Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and have since 1966 when it opened. For the 4 years prior, they rented Dodgers Stadium and during their games they called it: Chávez Ravine Stadium named after Julien Chavez, a politician from LA during the 1800's. While in his late 20's he acquired the land today's Dodger Stadium sits on (that's right acquired - back then you just asked for land - you did not have to buy it!)

The Post Season starts...NOW!

Today a triple header in MLB! But of course we only care about the Yankees! The game begins tonight at 6 ish and with the Twins winning last night by using 6 (yes 6) pitchers to do so - they then had to travel across the country to the Bronx. They should be nice and grouchy for the game tonight. Lets hope they are too tired to be pumped up so Jeter can stomp all over them!

What will Minka Kelly (Derek Jeters hush hush possible fiancee) be wearing at tonights game in the Bronx? Will she sit with his proud parents and his sister?

So the Yankees have not won the World Series in 9 years. Jayson Stark of www.espn.com has plenty of stats to go along with his picking them to take the title this year. But it all comes down to this: they want it most- always have - always will.

Tie Breaker

Featured! (Game, team or player we are into today)

For the 3rd year in a row there is a tie breaker game needed in baseball, this time between the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins. The game will be played at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis - could be the last game here as next year they move to a new stadium. Watch for the crowd to be in all white, should look pretty cool. The winner will play the Yankees in the AL Division Series on Wednesday.

Which team do the Yankees have a better chance at beating? Either: since they both will use their best pitcher tonight just to advance. On second thought, maybe the Twins as the Yankees have beat them every game so far this year.

The NY Mets had a terrible season - they did not hustle - they did not care. Today when we voted in the poll at http://www.nydailynews.com/ for whether or not to fire the Owners of the Mets (Fred and Jeff Wilpon) the results were 68% to fire them - only 32% to keep them. The fans have spoken!

Tonights MLB game is the 9th end of the season tie breaker ever. The first was won by the Indians in 1948. They went on to win the World Series.

Service! (How you can make a difference)

According to http://www.nfl.com/: The National Football League will support October's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with team community outreach. Games from Oct. 5-27 will be designated as NFL Breast Cancer Awareness games.

Each NFL team is choosing home games where they will have cool stuff going on to raise awareness about Breast Cancer - like handing out pink ribbons (Arizona Cardinals Oct 12th), or selling pink team t shirts with proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (Pittsburgh Steelers).

A Rod Vs. A Rod

Featured! (Game, team or player we are into today)

Is it Monday yet? Monday night football! Who is hotter Brett or Aaron? We vote for the Cali boy - Aaron Rodgers (the A Rod of football) of the Green Bay Packers. He is hot - likes to throw the ball - and took Brett Favre's place when he pretended to retire.

Can't wait to see who comes out on top!


Score! (Gossip, interviews and intelligent scoops)

So A Rod (Alex Rodriguez) decided to really go out with a bang last night. 7 RBI's in one inning, setting a new AL record! A 3 run home run and a grand slam in one inning. He finishes the season with 30 homers and 100 RBI's.

But more importantly - is A Rod having a baby with Kate Hudson? They have been seen kissing at Yankee Stadium and holding hands while out in NYC. But the funniest part - A Rod was mentioned on SNL during weekend update Saturday night: If she is prego - then it is the first time he has "produced" in October.

Oh to be so good and to have never won it all...
