...promote them or where to schedule them. Does this "Buffy"-napping mean UPN is going to try to morph into the network of quality? Don't hold your breath - until recently, it was still considering "The Tranny," a transsexual comedy with RuPaul - but it may now have to expand beyond boy magnets like "Smackdown!" if it wants to build on this coup and keep its new viewers...

In the inning before he singled home the game-tying, Holy Cross was threatening to expand its lead with the bases loaded and just one out. Lentz, however, took the wind out of the Crusaders' sails when he picked a runner off third base for the second out of the inning...
