If Yanks Win, Thank Kate, Blame Macy's

Omens abound in countdown to Game 5

(NEWSER) - With the Yankees sitting on a 3-1 lead heading into tonight's World Series Game 5, there's already plenty of credit and blame to go around. Should New York defeat the Phillies, give a cheer for actress and Alex Rodriguez galpal Kate Hudson, David Wells writes for the New York Post. "Kate is just a good-luck charm for Alex," writes Wells—yes, the former Yankee ace. "She's got a lot of hits in her, and that's a compliment, because of the fact she's a high-profile individual."

November Baseball's a Farce

Selig needs to get the boys of summer off the field

(NEWSER) - Isn’t the Fall Classic supposed to happen in the fall? Not this year. The World Series begins tomorrow night and, in case Bud Selig hasn’t noticed, it’s “never seemed more irrelevant,” writes Jay Mariotti. It’s simply too late in the year for baseball. “I can hear my body clock ticking, knowing Game 3 will be played on Halloween night.” Game 7, if it comes to that, will be in a probably frigid New York on November 5.

Yankees Ticket Prices Soar as Jeter Nears 3,000 Hits

You'll need about $165 to get into a game this weekend

(NEWSER) - It would probably be fine with Yankees brass if Derek Jeter takes all season to reach 3,000 hits. Ticket sales and prices on the secondary market have skyrocketed in anticipation of the shortstop reaching the milestone, which he should do any day now. Tickets that fetched $80 last week are averaging $165 for this weekend's series, reports MarketWatch . More»
