They'll know after tonight that they'll need to reserve hotel space in Boston, for instance, for these dates but not those, while doing the opposite in St Louis, San Diego, etc. So he reserves them for a few extra days. No big deal.

Another hole. He can't start reserving hotel space right now anyway because he won't know exactly which dates the games will be on until the LCSs are over anyway.

At least I think. Next year I think they have a specific date set aside for Game 1 of the WS. Not sure.

Either way, Bud's a jerk about this.

I can tell you right now which date the World Series will start on.

The last day of the regular season is October 1.

That means the division series will run through October 8. The League Championship series will start on October 10 and finish by October 19. The World Series will then open on Saturday, October 21. Game 7, if necessary, will be played on October 29.

Playoff series ending early don't advance the dates of the subsequent series. The only thing that would change these dates is several days of rainouts.

Bud's a jerk anyway.
