Not a fan of WPS but the team was at the Dodgers game last night and Marta threw the first pitch (not too shabby) after juggling it a bit on her thigh (smart enough not to drop it on her foot).
Win one for LA gals.
Hey Nick,
I know you just flash your press badge and they roll out the red carpet, but for us peons who have to sit in the stands, do you think there is any chance they will discount tickets to the final?

Nick replies: Doesn't sound like it. I was scratching around yesterday looking for any ticket deals and didn't find any yet. If I hear of any I will post the info on the blog.
