Bicoastal flop
With the disappearance of the Phillies' hitters against Chris Carpenter of the Cardinals, the baseball playoffs have become a midwestern affair. It's come down to Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Dallas. The longitude range is -97.07 to -83.02. The geographic center of the lower 48 states is at -98.35; New York is -74.00, Los Angeles is -118.15. Except for the folks in Texas, the remaining franchises all occupy relatively small media markets, which means that despite a lot of high drama so far, viewership of what comes next may be small. Anyway, congratulations to fans of the teams that have survived.

A-Rod had one good post-season when he was with Kate Hudson. When she left, he went right back to being a flop including 2 for 18 against the Tigers and a couple of big strikeouts in the last game.
You could say it was the lack of steroids, but he was also a post-season flop when he was on steroids. It was only when he was with Kate Hudson that he became a clutch Yankee player. His inner choke artist could not operate with her around.
I've always thought that if a rock star writes a hit song about a specific woman, she should get some royalties. She didn't write it, or play it, but she inspired it.
It is time for the Yankees to send Kate Hudson a World Series ring, if they haven't already.
