Opps! Philly Paper Jumps Gun on World Series
PHILADELPHIA (Nov. 2) - A Philadelphia newspaper has apologized to readers for mistakenly running an ad congratulating the Philadelphia Phillies on winning back-to-back World Series titles.
The Yankees held a commanding 3-1 lead in the championship as of Monday, the day the ad was printed in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The three-quarter-page Macy's ad is on the back of the front section and features a T-shirt with the Phillies logo, the commissioner's trophy and the phrase "Back To Back World Series Champions."
The Inquirer released a message to readers saying the paper deeply regrets the error.

プロ野球日本シリーズ Baseball World Series in Japan
 |
Many people are "freezed" or taken their souls to baseball infront of TVs in home electronics retailer. They don't move or I wonder if they breathe.
Baseball is like American Football or Soccer in Japan...big deal sports...To watch it, they stop working, walking and talking. They are just in a group and cloud to watch baseball.
Unbelievable!! My husband doesn't listen to me when baseball game is on TV. I cooked deliclious meal but he stopped using chopsticks to watch baseball. How about your husband???
Tale of the Tweets: Yankees World Series Victory (and Birthday) Celebration Edition
Just because the World Series is over doesn't mean we can't bring back the Tale of the Tweets. I've pulled all the tweets from today's Yankees parade and Victory Celebration at City Hall and put them into one nice post. See how easy and fun this is? Enjoy.
One quick note: I didn't actually see the parade. I had to fight my way through the insanity that was the parade crowds in order to get my ticket to the City Hall celebration. I thought I was going to die from overcrowding. No joke. It was a total and complete nightmare. Once I got into City Hall, it was all good. I staked out a great spot in the center but towards the back when I befriended the crew guys working the camera hoist. No, not in that way. Come on. And with my 10x zoom camera, I was able to take some great pictures, which you can find here. All in all, an amazing way to celebrate the Yankees. And my birthday (did I mention it was my birthday?)Without further ado, here is the Tale of the Tweets: Yankees World Series Victory (and Birthday) Celebration Edition There are no words to describe the nightmare clusterf$*k that is downtown Manhattan right now. No. Words.A parade on my birthday? Oh, New York, you shouldn't have.
- At City Hall for Yankees Victory ceremony. Cotton Eye Joe on PA system at City Hall. Really? Hasn't he tortured us enough?The crowd is getting restless here at City Hall. I Got A Feeling playing on pa now. Really, New York, you didn't have to go to so much trouble for little old me today.Reggie, Yogi, Michael Kay, John and Suzyn all gathered on stage. Chuck Schumer in the house. Shocker.Rudy in the house. Even more shocking. Not yet! But could happen. :-) RT @runner_23 @amandarykoff Did the crowd break out into "happy birthday" yet? Kay congratulates Bloomberg on re-election. Crowd boos. 
- Yankees on City Hall stage Sergio Mitre gets a key to the city. And I am here to witness it. Jay-Z took a picture with the trophy. And that's a wrap from City Hall. If only Jay-Z had sung Happy Birthday instead of Empire State of Mind. Otherwise, not a bad way to celebrate.

Tale of the Tweets: World Series Championship (and Chris Meloni) Edition
Happy. Exhausted. Hung over. Relieved. That's how I feel right now as I put together the final 2009 installment of the Yankees Tale of the Tweets. Why is that? Oh, because the Yankees closed out the Phillies last night at the Stadium to win Championship #27. The boys got to Pedro Martinez early and won thanks to outstanding pitching from Andy Pettitte, Damaso Marte (yes, really!) and the great Mariano Rivera and a series-record tying 6 RBI from MVP Hideki Matsui.
Requisite disclaimer: if you're looking for real analysis and an actual game recap, please look elsewhere, including my friends at River Avenue Blues, This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes and Yankeeist.
We (@rebecca_glass @bkabak @schwartzslaw @joepawl @larry_koestler @bniche) gathered at Blondie's on the Upper West Side for the third straight game, along with a ton of Yankees fans. Blondie's had a good vibe working from the start (unlike Monday night), and the team took the lead early. As the game progressed, it looked like our boys were going to close this thing out in six games.The crowd was fired up and lots of chants ("Der-ek Jeter", "Let's Go Yankees!" "Andy Pettitte", "Hip Hip Jorge!", "MVP! MVP!", "Who's Your Daddy?") erupted at the bar throughout the game. And as usual, the Blondie's DJ played all the Yankees songs, just as if you were at the Stadium: Empire State of Mind, YMCA, God Bless America, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, I Wanna Rock, Cotton Eye Joe (unfortunately), and Enter Sandman.
After Mariano locked up yet another World Series save (there are no words to describe Mariano), they put New York New York on repeat and we sang along until we couldn't sing any more. (Note: pictures will be posted later. I had some technical difficulties with iPhoto and thought I might have lost the pictures, but they're fine; I just couldn't upload them).
Without further ado, I present the Tale of the Tweets: World Series Championship (and Chris Meloni) Edition:
