TV REVIEW CHARLES C. LAUBACHER | EARS OPEN The death of the album he technological revolution and the advent of the Internet have done much to change the fabric of the music indus- Ttry. We all remember the Napster hear- ings. The first wave of the Internet-based ille- gal downloading sent music executives and artists into an outright panic that they would soon be without their (in most cases, gener- ous) incomes. But luckily for Metallica and David Geffen, a bunch of teenagers on their Gateway PCs could not cripple the music business. I think in many ways the advent of the Internet has been a wonderful thing for the world of music. All an independent artist needs is a YouTube.com profile or a Myspace. com page to put his or her music out there for the whole world to hear. For eager listeners, this means the ability to discover and explore a new artist in a matter of minutes. YouTube. com offers fans the chance to see favorite artists play live without access to shows. The Internet has helped make the world of music a place of more equal opportunity and more FX.COM equal access. They’re so hardcore. Instantaneous access to music has also led to another, somewhat more unfortunate result.

With similar strengths across the board, both teams were on nothing short of a collision course heading into the mid- day matchup in Hartford, Conn. Sitting neck-and-neck in the national rankings, with the Jumbos edging out the Bantams by just one place for the fifth position, the Trinity squad hoped to repeat the success it found earlier this season on Bello Field when the Bantams iced the Jumbos in a 2-1 overtime decision. What is more, the Bantams hoped to turn their first-ever finals appearance into their first-ever championship title. A marked Tufts offensive effort, however, made that goal into a pipe dream.

It’ll be remembered for Alex TRodriguez’s redemption, for MVP Hideki Matsui’s six-RBI day and for the brilliant performances of Cliff Lee and Chase Utley. But perhaps how I’ll best remember this Series is for the way in which it reinforced the dominance of Mariano Rivera. The two highest-paid relievers in the league, Rivera and Brad Lidge, both loomed at the back end of their respec- tive bullpens. But the levels of confi- dence that the Yankees and Phillies had in their closers was stunningly different.
