2006 Postseason Schedule

soupcan Sep 06 2006 09:13 AM

Does anybody know where I can find this or does it even exist yet? Thanks.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 09:17 AM

The postseason will open on Tuesday, October 3. (It always opens on the Tuesday following the end of the season.) Again, if the past is a guide, some teams will play their first games on Wednesday of that week. Beyond that, specifics won't be announced until at least some of the matchups are known. They need to get an idea of which games will be played in which time zones before they can firm up the schedule.

soupcan Sep 06 2006 09:19 AM

Thanks. <--------------- And as a bonus to me I'm Willieeee Montan-YES.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 06 2006 09:25 AM

Didya happen to see that note today on mbtn? A guy was trying to determine whether the Mets placed a tilde over the N in MONTANEZ on his nameplate: I sincerely doubt this was the case but couldn't say for sure. Can someone find a photo to confirm (It'd have to be from the beginning of 79 season until he was traded that July; the Mets didn't wear nameplate pre-79.)

soupcan Sep 06 2006 09:33 AM

I don't remember a tilde on the uniform but I distinctly remember the P.A. guy pronouncing it 'Montan-YES'

cooby Sep 06 2006 09:41 AM

I kinda remember him having one, if you mean on his uniform. Or maybe that was with the Phillies

Edgy DC Sep 06 2006 09:43 AM

I don't think he did. If he did, he didn't bother including one in his signature: Nor did Topps give him one: I agree with Coo', however, that Phillie was more likely to apply one, as they were ahead of the curve on Latin American scouting.

soupcan Sep 06 2006 09:50 AM

Yeah, I'd be surprised if there was a tilde. Being that '79 was the first year they did names how good could they have been with the nuances? I'll check my yearbooks when I get home tonight and see if there's anything there.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 06 2006 10:00 AM

His family name properly spelled included the tilde, certainly. The question is whether the Mets included one on his jersey nameplate. I recall one for sure on Alex Trevino -- he may have been the first.

Edgy DC Sep 06 2006 10:05 AM

Looks like the Dodgers are ahead of Topps here:

Willets Point Sep 06 2006 02:16 PM

They're really planning on playing 5 NLCS games on consecutive days?

metirish Sep 06 2006 02:18 PM

In a five game series you only need to win two and not three?

Willets Point Sep 06 2006 02:23 PM

I'm not busting balls, but on further review I notice that the days of the week are not consecutive even though the dates are so the last two NLCS are probably: Game 6 Wednesday, October 18, if necessary Game 7 Thursday, October 19, if necessary

Gwreck Sep 06 2006 02:39 PM

Yes, you've all picked up on the typos. The last 2 games of the NLDS, not 3 are "if necessary." There's a typo for the NLCS, there's a travel day between Gms. 5 and 6. Trying this again: NLDS Series 1 Game 1 Tuesday, October 3 Game 2 Thursday, October 5 Game 3 Saturday October 7 Game 4 Sunday, October 8, if necessary Game 5 Monday, October 9, if necessary Series 2 Game 1 Wednesday, October 4 Game 2 Thursday, October 5 Game 3 Saturday October 7 Game 4 Sunday, October 8, if necessary Game 5 Monday, October 9, if necessary NLCS Game 1 Wednesday, October 11 Game 2 Thursday, October 12 Game 3 Saturday, October 14 Game 4 Sunday, October 15 Game 5 Monday, October 16, if necessary Game 6 Wednesday, October 18, if necessary Game 7 Thursday, October 19, if necessary World Series Game 1 Saturday October 21 Game 2 Sunday October 22 Game 3 Tuesday, October 24 Game 4 Wednesday, October 25 Game 5 Thursday, October 26, if necessary Game 6 Saturday, October 28, if necessary Game 7 Sunday, October 29, if necessary

After a certain point, the Mets additionally added an Ò on the jersey of Rey Ordòñez, probably a unique character in the history of Met uniforms. I have no handy evidence, though.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 07 2006 06:00 AM

Where did you get those schedules, Gwreck? I'm curious to see the AL game dates. It will help me figure out when NLDS and NLCS game will potentially be played during the day, and I can then figure out how many vacation days I may have to use to watch Mets postseason games.

Gwreck Sep 07 2006 07:16 AM

Pulled 'em from the Dodgers website.

duan Sep 07 2006 09:21 AM

question; when are the mets most likely to be playing in New York assuming (as looks pretty damn likely) that they have the best record in the league?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 07 2006 09:26 AM

Games 1, 2, and 5 of the NLDS. Games 1, 2, 6, and 7 of the NLCS. And games 3, 4, and 5 of the World Series.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 12 2006 09:30 AM

Adam Rubin in this morning's Daily News offers a little more insight into how the postseason schedule will be determined: ]The Mets would open the NLDS on Oct. 3 if they face another division winner, and Oct. 4 if they're facing the wild-card team. So if the Padres hold on and win the card, the Mets start on Wednesday. I suspect that would mean that Game 2 would be a day game on Thursday, October 5. You might want to make tentative plans for a day off on that day. I've already arranged for a flexible schedule for October. (I have an understanding boss.) I should be able to avoid being at work while any Mets playoff games are underway. Whenever the games are being played, I'll be where I belong, in front of my television.

Methead Sep 12 2006 12:24 PM

I'll be in Hawaii during most of the NLCS. I didn't schedule this... it's a buddy's wedding... and I can't really skip it just because of the playoffs. I'm really torn though. At least I will be if the Mets happen to be in it. I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. I'm sure I'll have a great time, but part of my brain is going to be back home, soaked in beer, floating above the couch without me.

HahnSolo Sep 12 2006 12:41 PM

]So if the Padres hold on and win the card, the Mets start on Wednesday. I suspect that would mean that Game 2 would be a day game on Thursday, October 5. You might want to make tentative plans for a day off on that day. I don't believe so. I think you'll get a 4:00 start for game 1 and primetime for game 2. I believe both AL series are Tue/Wed, so, since the Yankees just HAVE to be on prime time, they'll get the Wed 8 PM slot, the Mets the 4PM slot, and I guess the Tigers the 1PM start. On Thurs, I think the Mets will get the prime time slot, and the other NL series will be during the day.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 12 2006 01:15 PM

Have you seen the ALDS schedule anywhere? I looked around but couldn't find it. It would be helpful (maybe) to know how many games, and which ones, are scheduled on each day.

cooby Sep 12 2006 01:16 PM

I'm just hoping that ESPN is kinda enough to broadcast the Mets games in my area.

Given the time zone difference, some of the games might be starting in the morning Hawaii time, though I guess most of them will be mid afternoon. I'd be torn, too. You don't want to be in Hawaii and spend your afternoons indoors. Hey! I just figured it out! Buy a cheap VCR while you're there, or pack one with you. Tape the games in the afternoon, avoid sports updates while you're enjoying Hawaii, and then watch before you go to bed at night. You might have to call ahead to your hotel to confirm that their TV's have the proper jacks in the back! It's the kind of thing only a crazy sports fan would do.

Methead Sep 12 2006 04:10 PM

Believe me, I'm considering all options. My wife is incredibly understanding about baseball season -- especially Mets Playoffs Baseball Season -- but I fear if I get caught watching baseball on this vacation she'll freak. Taping the games and watching them after she goes to sleep might be an acceptable compromise, although I'm not sure the house we're staying in has a TV. This could get ugly.

HahnSolo Sep 12 2006 04:14 PM

Find a place with an outdoor swim-up bar and a TV. It's perfect. She gets the outdoors, you get the Mets.

SteveJRogers Sep 12 2006 05:58 PM

BTW, first time since 1973 that the Mets will have home field in the NLCS, obviously first time the Mets shall ever have home field in the NLDS! 69-93 both NLCS and ALCS had the same alternating crap that the World Series still had up to 2002, that was re-set when instead of a 5 game 2-3 series it turned into a 7 game 2-3-2 series in 1985, both 1969 and 1985 kicked off with the NL East having home field. Since 1995, all DS and LCS series have followed the best record (divison winner wise) formats

Gwreck Sep 20 2006 12:32 AM

Updating this with new information. Assumption is that the Mets will have Homefield advantage throughout. As of this writing, the Magic Number to Clinch that is 2. NLDS Series 1- if the Phillies win the Wild Card and the Mets play a division winner Game 1 Tuesday, October 3 Game 2 Thursday, October 5 Game 3 Saturday October 7 Game 4 Sunday, October 8 (if necessary) Game 5 Monday, October 9 (if necessary) Series 2 - if a team outside the East is the Wild Card winner, and therefore the Mets opponent Game 1 Wednesday, October 4 Game 2 Thursday, October 5 Game 3 Saturday October 7 Game 4 Sunday, October 8 (if necessary) Game 5 Monday, October 9 (if necessary) NLCS Game 1 Wednesday, October 11 Game 2 Thursday, October 12, 8:00 PM Game 3 Saturday, October 14 Game 4 Sunday, October 15 Game 5 Monday, October 16, 8:00 PM (if necessary) Game 6 Wednesday, October 18, (if necessary) Game 7 Thursday, October 19, 8:00 PM (if necessary) World Series Game 1 Saturday October 21, 7:30 PM Game 2 Sunday October 22, 7:30 PM Game 3 Tuesday, October 24, 8:00 PM Game 4 Wednesday, October 25, 8:00 PM Game 5 Thursday, October 26, 8:00 PM (if necessary) Game 6 Saturday, October 28, 7:30 PM (if necessary) Game 7 Sunday, October 29, 7:30 PM (if necessary)

Yancy Street Gang Sep 20 2006 09:20 AM

Thanks, Gwreck. Have you found a site that lists the AL schedule for the Division Series? I'm especially curious to know how many overall games will be played on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Frayed Knot Sep 20 2006 09:31 AM

The way they generally work it out is that there'll be 3 games each day (Tues, Wed, Thurs) which is why they have the one series with extra off-day. General consensus seems to be that - out of games 1 & 2 - the Mets will have a 4:00 game on the day they conflict w/the Yanx and a 8:00 game on the MFY off day. Which order those will be in is the remaining question and won't be determined until all opponents are known.

Gwreck Sep 20 2006 09:45 AM

Mets NLDS Game 1 (regardless of the Mets' opponent) will be on the same day of a Yankees NLDS game. There are some potential Mets/Yankees overlap days for the ALCS/NLCS too. NLCS games 1, 3, 4 and 6 overlap to ALCS games 2, 4, 5, and 7.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 20 2006 09:49 AM

Let's see... I'm guessing that NLCS games 1, 3, 4, and 6 would be played on Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday?

Frayed Knot Sep 20 2006 10:06 AM

It's also possible that if a weekday Met game falls on the same day as a MFY game AND a home west coast game (the A's likely won't earn home-field edge but the Dodgers/Pads could nose out the Cards) then it could push a NYM game into the 1:00 slot since the left coast game can't be put there.

Gwreck Sep 20 2006 10:10 AM

Yancy Street Gang wrote: Let's see... I'm guessing that NLCS games 1, 3, 4, and 6 would be played on Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday? No need to guess; those dates are correct. I should correct that the overlaps can only really happen during NLCS games 1 and 6 (ie. the Met home games), and that's assuming the Yankees would retain homefield advantage for the ALCS (likely but not guaranteed).

That situation can only happen if the A's get homefield advantage over the AL Central Winner. The two NLDS series start on different days, so there's no situation in which the Mets, Yankees, and a third NLDS game will be played on the same weekday. It might happen on a Sunday, but gamtimes matter a bit less then I think.

The Mets were supposed to have home field for the 1986 LCS. Remember that the Dogders had home field for the 85 LCS, so the East winner should have had home field the following year. But because of the Oilers (remember them?) having a home game that weekend, the league was forced to switch games 1 and 2 to the Dome. I know I wasn't the only one upset about this.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 24 2006 11:08 AM

Using TiVo, I was able to peek ahead at the TV baseball schedule for the opening week of the playoffs, through the afternoon of Friday, October 6. Here's what I found: Tuesday, October 3: 1 p.m., ESPN 4 p.m., ESPN 8 p.m., FOX Wednesday, October 4: 4 p.m., ESPN 7 p.m., ESPN 10 p.m., FOX Thursday, October 5: 4 p.m., ESPN 8 p.m., FOX Friday, October 6: 4 p.m., ESPN I assume that there will also be a night game on Friday. And I think that both Thursday games will be National League games. And there will be two AL games on both Tuesday and Wednesday. The 10 p.m. game on Wednesday is the one that most concerns me. The Mets will be at home for the first two games of the NLDS. Would they schedule a 10 p.m. start for a game in New York? I'd hope not. But if the Mets were playing the Dodgers or Padres it would be in prime time for the visiting team. And if a game is being played in San Diego, or Los Angeles, or Oakland that day, that would be the obvious 10 p.m. choice. But it's possible that none of the four series will open on the West Coast. We know the Mets will be in New York, and the Yankees probably will too. But the other NL game could be in St. Louis, and the other AL game could be in Minnesota or Detroit.

Gwreck Sep 24 2006 11:30 AM

No game will start at 10 PM in New York. That 10 PM start would be if one of the West Coast teams was hosting the Phillies in the first round.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 24 2006 11:37 AM

Yes, but what if no games are being played on the west coast? Hopefully they'd at least make it a 9 p.m. local start time for a team in the Central time zone. (Minnesota or St. Louis.)

Yancy Street Gang Sep 24 2006 05:46 PM

I have less faith in the reasonableness of TV networks than you do. They'll schedule the games when they think they'll get the most viewers/revenue. They won't care about the fans in the park.

Gwreck Sep 26 2006 01:57 PM

Gametime for NLCS Game #1 should probably be moved back to "TBA." The intention is to play at 8:00, but according to the Fox TV Schedule (courtesy Adam Rubin's blog), the plan is for a "split-national" broadcast with ALCS Game #2 at the same time. There's one potential situation that will clearly dictate a time change, for TV and likely security reasons as well.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 26 2006 02:05 PM

What does "split national" mean? Would one game be on FOX and the other on ESPN or ESPN2?

cooby Sep 26 2006 02:10 PM

Anxious moment here. I'm gonna be blacked out, I know it...

Frayed Knot Sep 26 2006 02:13 PM

A split FOX game means one game on FOX and the other on F/X What I think they want to avoid is having the two NYC teams "against" each other TV-wise

metirish Sep 26 2006 02:14 PM

] Would one game be on FOX and the other on ESPN or ESPN2? Haven't they used the FX channel before in that situation?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 26 2006 02:21 PM

I think they have. But some of the ALDS/NLDS games are going to be on ESPN and some on FOX. I'm not sure how they're divided up. I guess it would make sense for any head-to-head games would be on the same corporate entity though. If FOX is going to lose half its audience, it would rather lose it to F/X than to ESPN. I also recall ESPN2 and F/X being used when games run long and the end of one game intrudes upon the beginning of another. (Practically inevitable when they only allot three hours for a game.) So the first couple of innings of the 4 p.m. game might be on the secondary channel when the 1 p.m. game runs past the three-hour mark.

metirish Sep 26 2006 02:23 PM

Whatever channel the Mets are on I hope Lou Piniella is doing the other games.

cooby Sep 26 2006 03:04 PM

That would be great! Do you think it could happen?

Gwreck Sep 26 2006 03:35 PM

"Split National" means that the game shown on FOX (ie. over the air) is shown according to "market." Example: A New York-Philadelphia NLCS game would be shown in the NY and Philadelphia markets and a Minnesota-Oakland ALCS game played at the same time would be shown in the Twin Cities and Bay Area markets. The rest of the "markets" throughout the country would show one of the two games. It's possible that the second game (whichever you weren't getting on FOX) would be on cable, presumably on F/X or (more likely) the local Fox Sports cable channel. The split-national strategy presents a problem if teams from the same market (ie. the Mets and the MFYs) play at the same time, hence the possibility of a conflict for NLCS Game 1/ALCS game 2. No LCS games would be on ESPN. ESPN only has the right to show Division Series games.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 26 2006 03:43 PM

I would be mighty pissed if the Mets and Phillies were playing at the same time and I wasn't able to watch the Mets. I would think that the "alternate" game would be moved to the F/X or ESPN2.

Gwreck Sep 26 2006 04:30 PM

Basically impossible for that particular scenario to happen. It could only theoretically happen in the Division series, and Philly will be playing on the West Coast for games 1 and 2 -- therefore less likely to conflict with a Mets game. Plus, the way the schedule is set currently, there aren't any overlap games at this time.

TransMonk Sep 27 2006 01:15 PM

What if: I know this scenario is not probable, but it is possible - San Diego holds on to win the West and Los Angeles wins the WC (basically how the standings are today). Houston and St. Louis battle for the NL Central and neither have a better record than SD or LA. Houston finishes a half game back on the Cards at the end of play Sunday. St. Louis has a makeup game against San Fran scheduled for Monday if necessary, which under this scenario it would be. St. Louis loses the game. Houston and St. Louis would have to have a one-game playoff for the division. Would that game-off happen on Tuesday even though the non-wildcard NLDS series is scheduled to begin that day? Would they flip-flop the 2 NLDS series schedules? I've checked MLB.com and it looks like they don't have a plan for this. If I were in charge, I would say day-night 3 team double header on Monday, but that would never happen. Interesting.

The game not on FOX in your market will air on FX or FSN.

SteveJRogers Sep 29 2006 10:56 PM

Yanks, by virtue of their win and Detroit and Minny losing tonight I believe have wrapped up home field throughout the postseason (including of course the WS) Going to be VEEEEARYYY INTAHRESTING with the DSs and LCSs essentially starting (and quite possibly ending) in the same city. Going to be alot of media and fan frenzy. I'd say the only more crazier thing in sports that I can think of is the Giants and Jets having a home postseason game the same day. Though I'm sure the NFL would be able to manuver that right up untill the Championship Game weekend, and even then they could persuade one of the teams to move the game to Saturday.

Gwreck Sep 29 2006 11:05 PM

I'm not sure the Yankees have clinched home-field advantage yet. The Yankees hold the tiebreaker over the Tigers, but the season series between the Twins and the Yankees was tied 3-3. The Yankees are up 2 games, but with 2 games to play the Twins or Tigers could tie them in record. In the event that the Twins and the Yankees finish with the same record, I'm not sure what the tiebreaker is, as the season series was a tie. In the event that the Twins, Yankees and Tigers all finish with the same record, Minnesota would be the Wild Card, as the tie for division leader is broken first (and the Tigers hold that tiebreaker over the Twins). In that case, the Yankees would have home-field advantage. Potential dates for two playoff games in NY: Tue Oct 3 - NLDS 1 / ALDS 1 Wed Oct 3 - NLDS 1/ ALDS 2 Wed Oct 11 - NLCS 1 / ALCS 2 Wed Oct 18 - NLCS 6 / ALCS 7 For these dates, only for the last one would the National League game be definitively forced to happen in the afternoon. For all the others it remains "up in the air."

None of these games can be played at 10 PM, and "probably" not at 1 PM, either.

LOL - George will have fits over not being in prime time, as he feels is his G-d given right.

Gwreck Sep 30 2006 02:49 PM

I just edited, see above. Not sure what they're going to do.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 30 2006 03:03 PM

Well, that's a very different lineup.

Gwreck Sep 30 2006 03:06 PM

Right. I still can't figure out what they're intending to do. I think the most recent edit is the most likely, although I'll keep udating this as info. becomes available. I started by using the tenative TV schedule that was put out, but I think that will clearly change.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 30 2006 03:10 PM

Assuming that the NL Wildcard comes out of the West, how set are we on the Mets Game 1 guesstimate?

Gwreck Sep 30 2006 03:18 PM

I'd put it at 70%. I believe I've seen it reported elsewhere that the Mets v. West Coast would get the primetime slot on Wednesday, even if it pushes the Yankees to the afternoon.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 30 2006 03:20 PM

OK - thanks. It's the difference between whether MK gets any school in on Wednesday or not (or, I guess, potentially Thursday also....)

Gwreck Sep 30 2006 03:21 PM

Thursday shoud be less of a problem, as there are no AL games on Thursday. Thursday would probably be: 4 PM or 10 PM St. Louis at San Diego 7 PM Los Angeles at New York

ScarletKnight41 Sep 30 2006 03:36 PM

We only have tickets to Game 1. I was thinking in terms of what time we'd get back to Central NJ after Game 1. With a 4:00 start he'd get to bed at a reasonable time - with a prime time start, he might not be in shape for school on Thursday.

Y'all don't suppose that a Tuesday play-in game - which would involve at least one of the teams normally sked to play their Game 1 that day - would make our series move up a day? I wouldn't think so.

Gwreck Sep 30 2006 10:43 PM

I don't think so, I think it only affects that particular series, as it'll clearly be the Central Winner vs. West Winner. Shouldn't be a TV issue either, as FOX has already designated Twins/Tigers vs. Yankees as their primary series.

Frayed Knot Sep 30 2006 10:58 PM

The only thing is screws up from a TV standpoint is that it shoves all 4 games onto Wednesday and the whole skip-day series (the one that goes Tues-Thurs-Sat) was designed to avoid just that. But I don't see how they can wait until late-day Monday to decide that the NYM-v-WC has to be swapped to the Tuesday start.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 01 2006 07:50 AM

Newsday is guessing that Wednesday's game will be at 4: ]Mets open Wednesday NEIL BEST October 1, 2006 The elimination of the Phillies from wild-card contention yesterday resolved the issue of when the Mets will begin their Division Series - it will be Wednesday, probably at 4 p.m. - but not their opponent, which will be the Dodgers or Padres. Assuming ESPN chooses the Yankees' ALDS game against the Tigers or Twins for its prime-time slot Wednesday, the Mets will play in the 4 p.m. slot that day on ESPN, then host the Dodgers or Padres in prime time for Game 2 on Fox on Thursday. The other NLDS, featuring the Cardinals or Astros against the Dodgers or Padres, figures to begin at 4 p.m. Tuesday on ESPN, with Game 2 at 4 p.m. Thursday, assuming neither is shifted to an 11 p.m. slot to accommodate the West Coast home crowd. Game 3 of both NLDS will be Saturday, with game times and networks to be determined. In the American League, the Yankees will host the Tigers or Twins at 8 p.m. Tuesday on Fox and probably at the same time Wednesday on ESPN. That would leave the ALDS featuring the Tigers or Twins against the Athletics for 1 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday on ESPN and probably Game 3 at 4 p.m. Friday, assuming the Yankees play in prime time again that night.

SteveJRogers Oct 01 2006 10:51 AM

Uh boss, I need to get my ass to Shea because the only other time the Mets are playing is when I have two classes at night... What do you mean don't come back Thursday? (GULP!) Sure he'd be fine with it, but on late notice...hmmmm... I may have a problemo!

Also Game 1 of our series is on ESPN (And simulcasted on CW 11 (aka WPIX aka WB11) here in NY) and on FOX Thursday night. Thankfully so far NOT on TBS! Speaking of which, the TBS announcers aren't going to be Braves announcers are they? Pete, Skip and Don all have their October off right? Boy that would be fun to watch if the Braves actually made it. Brave postseason games on their network sans their announcers!

Gwreck Oct 01 2006 03:07 PM

The only TBS game is the potential one-game playoff, Cardinals at Houston, which would be Tuesday.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 03 2006 11:35 AM

Barring rainouts, both AL series will end by Sunday, and both if-necessary Game 5's of the NLDS are scheduled for Monday. One is at 4 p.m. and the other at 8. I've got to figure that Mets-Dodgers would get prime-time ahead of Padres-Cardinals. If only one series goes five games, I'd assume that that game would be played at 8. Unless FOX is too wimpy to go head-to-head against Monday Night Football. There are no weekday day games scheduled for the NLCS or ALCS, so tomorrow's game might be the only one we'll have to sneak out of work to attend or watch on TV.

Nope, there are two potential weekday NLCS Games: Game 1 - time is still TBD. If the Yankees and Mets are both playing, that would put ALCS Game 2 and NLCS Game 1 in the same city on the same day. This could force one of the games into the daytime hours. That's on Wednesday, October 11. Game 6 - time scheduled for 4 PM. If the ALCS doesn't go to 7 games, then the game would move to 8 PM. That's Wednesday, October 18.

They still haven't announced the times for Saturday's NLDS and ALDS games. I'm hoping the Mets game is at 4 p.m. Eastern time. It wouldn't be 1, because that would be 10 a.m. local time.

Gwreck Oct 04 2006 10:40 PM

The time slots Saturday are 1:00 (ESPN2), 4:00 (FOX) and 7:30 (FOX). If four games need to be played Saturday, this is how I project the schedule shaking out: 1:00 - Padres at Cardinals 4:00 - Mets at Dodgers; Twins at Athletics (split national) 7:30 - Yankees at Tigers.

History Lesson: Six years ago yesterday Future Wifey's birthday fell on Game 2 of the NLDS (the JT Snow Game) which, guilty of making her spend in a bar with me, was made up for by going to the theatre the next night. Turned out that was a limited run too (Neil Simon's "The Dinner Party" which closed within weeks) which caused us to miss, by second's, Agbayani's 13th inning HR. Just saying.

ScarletKnight41 Oct 06 2006 10:56 AM

If my being at the theater could induce similar Metly heroics, I'll take the hit for the team. And your dates are wrong. Benny's HR didn't occur the night after your future wife's birthday - it was on the 7th, not the 6th.
