World Series Cancelled for Lack of Interest


Phillies Led, Something to Something

In an unprecedented move, Major League Baseball cancelled the 2008 World
Series today, citing "overwhelming lack of interest."

This year's contest, featuring the Philadelphia Phillies and some other
team, will be the first-ever World Series to be yanked before completion,
but in the words of one baseball executive, "We're fairly sure no one will
notice."

The decision to pull the plug on the Series came last night after the fifth
game of the contest was rain-delayed and suspended with the score standing
at something to something.

Some guys were on base and another guy was pitching when the rains came, but
no one in the stadium showed a flicker of interest in the outcome.

"Enough already," said baseball commissioner Bud Selig.  "Let's put this
thing out of its misery."

At Fox Broadcasting, executives were reportedly "deliriously happy" about
the cancellation of the low-rated Series and immediately announced plans to
replace it with reruns of "Family Guy" and "House."

In Philadelphia, slugger Ryan Howard was philosophical about the decision to
pull the Series: "I wasn't really following it - who was ahead, anyway?"
