Cover boys?

Last week Christine was upset when the Phillies weren't on the cover of Sports Weekly. After all, it used to be called Baseball Weekly, until they added football and, for a short while, NASCAR.

Turns out, the issue was printed before Game 5 was finished, and there was a nice spread inside on where the series stood at that point.

But this week, there's more football on the cover with just a note that the Phillies are World Champs. We saw this in Wegman's because our copy - which used to come on Wednesdays but has been pushed back to Fridays in recent weeks - hasn't arrived yet.

Let's see if it arrives before 2012 when the Red Sox want to host the All-Star game again to commemorate Fenway's 100th anniversary. Christine thinks it's unfair because it hosted in 1999. I understand the animosity toward the Red Sox and the extra treatment they get, but when you have a building that predated World War I and is still in use, you treasure it while you can.
