    Cole doesn't seem confident or focused.

          There's just too much money involved to cut a series short (most of the time). The ticket sales, concessions, and spin-off boost to the eco

                Jeter and CC won't let that happen. A-Rod is locked in but it'll be one of the other less expected players that will take them over the top

                              The Yankees are the greatest choke artists in history (2004). No one would be surprised to see them do it again. Bunch of arrogant losers

                                      The start times really punished East Coasters who had to work the next day. 1:00AM end times were rough on early Eastern workers.

                                        In addition to the late start times, the games take too long. This will help us in the East but they need to shorten the games too.

                                          Selig pushes for earlier World Series start times

                                          Baseball owners met with Fox Sports president Ed Goren, and commissioner Bud Selig pressed for earlier start times for World Series games, which usually begin at around 8:30 p.m. EDT.

                                          "It's not a secret: I want earlier starting times,'' Selig said. "You'd like to figure out a way for a late-afternoon game, if it's possible. So we're continuing to talk. Fox has been very cooperative, I must say.''

                                          Okay, Philadelphia, celebrate like you've never celebrated before. Skip school and work and dental appointments and court dates to go to the parade. You've waited long enough. You've earned this.

                                          Just don't go and get all soft now that you've finally had a reason to pop the champagne for the first time in 25 years. Come Sunday, I want to see you in front of your TVs at home and down in the sports bars booing the Eagles the first time they go three-and-out in Seattle.

                                          I'm confident you won't let us down.

                                          Enrique Oliu breathes baseball. The crack of the bat and the cheers of the crowd run through his veins.

                                          He's also a human baseball encyclopedia, with an uncanny ability to make his listeners get a full feel for the game.

                                          Oh, one other thing about the color analyst for the Tampa Bay Rays' Spanish radio broadcasts: He's blind.
