Alex Balk Pays Up, Will Leitch Enjoys a Day Off

If you weren’t one of the 28 people watching the World Series this year, you might have missed the fact that the St. Louis Cardinals took out the heavily-favored Detroit Tigers in five games.

Prior to the kickoff of the lowest-rated televised World Series in the history of little Nielsen boxes, a bet was consummated between Gawker’s Alex Balk (a Tigers fan) and Deadspin’s Will Leitch (a Cards fan) with simple terms — loser has to cover the winner’s blogging duties for a day.

Seeing as Gawker’s a 2-3 man operation, and Leitch is pretty much a one man show (apologies to Rick Chandler and the bevy of regular guest contributors), the terms may not have been totally fair. But what’s done is done, and today is payday — so sports fans and New York gossipistas alike can head over to Deadspin and enjoy a healthy Halloween mix of gay jokes and more gay jokes, with the occasional sports mention, if time permits.
