PHILLIES ROUT RAYS 3-2 IN GAME 1 OF WORLD SERIES
Is the result of each game of the World Series really "Breaking News"?

One of the ongoing and most popular debates on this site. Are the results of big sports events worthy of breaking news alerts?

The debate always seems to involve two key points. First -should any sports results be considered breaking news by "real news" sources, or do sports results belong on sports pages and sports sites only?

Second - if some sports do cross over to "real news" what sports qualify as being that important. Is it the Olympics ? the Super Bowl? World Series? or any results involving your own favorite team?

Discovering andMother of Bride Dresses supporting local designers has been an important part of my beat.About 10 years ago Prom DressesI sensed a sea change toward street- and youth-oriented fashion in Hawai'i, so I decided to tap the collective minds and eclectic tastes of fashion-savvy young men and women. This became the Fashion Forum, aLouis Vuitton wallets place for nurturing, mentoring and networking fashion. They help me spot trends and scout new talent as well as interpreting, in their own unique styles, classics such as Louis Vuitton Replicathe white shirt and the pencil skirt.Many Fashion Forum members have gone on to lives in fashion and entertaining. Tina Vines is now working for Betsey Johnson in Newfake Louis Vuitton York. Sherry Shao-ling is acting and singing in Hollywood. Jannet Lee is freelancing for Vera Wang and Ralph Lauren. Willow Chang is the founder of Passport Productions.

Rout? Hardly Breaking News - hardly!

Had this really been a "rout" then maybe - well if it was game seven

Sports scores on Sports pages - If I am a fan I watched it anyway
