Post -Season Sked

[Frayed Knot]

Slightly different format to go with the new mid-week season ender
Times and teams still to be decided (IOW, which AL gets the prime-time slots due to matching up with the Yanx)


[u:a24s4zni]ALDS[/u:a24s4zni] -- Both series will go Friday (Sept 30) - Saturday - XX - Monday - Tuesday - XX - Thursday

[u:a24s4zni]NLDS[/u:a24s4zni] -- Both series to be played on Saturday (Oct 1) - Sunday - XX - Tuesday - Wednesday - XX - Friday

Both rounds to be handled by TBS (with spill-over on TNT if needed)
I still hate the multiple days off to where it takes seven days to get in five games, but at least it's only in this round and they've wisely stacked multiple games on the first Saturday.


[u:a24s4zni]ALCS[/u:a24s4zni] -- Saturday (Oct 8) - Sunday - XX - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday - XX - Saturday - Sunday (Oct 16) ** FOX **

[u:a24s4zni]NLCS[/u:a24s4zni] -- Sunday (Oct 9) - Monday - XX - Wednesday - Thursday - Friday - XX - Sunday - Monday (Oct 17) ** TBS **


[u:a24s4zni]World Series[/u:a24s4zni]

So it's the Cards @ Philly and Snakes in Milwaukee



On the AL side it's Tampa headed to Texas and the Tiggers in the Bronx.



Now we're just awaiting starting times.

[Gwreck]

Friday times are out:
Tampa at Texas 5:07 EDT
Tigers at MFYs 8:37 EDT

[Willets Point]

I guess I'll be rooting for Detroit and Tampa Bay in the AL and Milwaukee and a plague of fire ants in the NL.

[Frayed Knot]

WOW! The Yanx got the prime-time game!?!
Whoda thunk it.

[Ceetar]

I'm favoring a Tigers over the Brewers WS.

I picked post teams to make the playoffs, and the Tigers to lose to the Mets, so I feel comfortable with this.

[TransMonk]

I'm rooting for Texas.

[Guest sharpie]

Tigers, Brewers, Diamondbacks and Rays would be acceptable winners in my book. .

Cardinals and Rangers would be acceptable only if they are oppposing the Yankees or Phillies.

Yeah, me too, be nice to see them do it after last season.

I get most of this, but why would the Rangers only be acceptable if going up against the Phillies?

[Guest sharpie]

I make a habit of always being against teams from Texas. Probably the politicians that spring from there is the reason why.

[TransMonk]

In theory, I would root for the Brewers, but their fan base is...all around me.

I think if the Brewers won the WS 9 months after the Packers won the SB, my head would explode from the cheesehead giddiness.

[Gwreck]

All aboard the Brewer bandwagon here. My preferences:

1. Brewers
2. Tigers
3. Rays
4. Rangers
5. Diamondbacks
6. Cardinals
7. Phillies
8. Yankees

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd like the Phillies to stick around if only to counter the MFYs should they get past Detroit.

As always in the postseason I'm rooting for whoever's playing the MFYs, and good baseball.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

You really don't know enough Phillies fans, JCL.

1. Tiggers
2. Biermachers
3. Rays
------------
4. Diamondbacks (Gibson's presence keeps this from being higher)
5. Rangers
6. Cardinals
------------
7-8. Philkees

[Willets Point]

My ranking is pretty much the same as LWFS except I don't really differentiate my preference of the Diamonbacks or Rangers.
