Would be the route I went if I were Selig. Maybe like 2 or 3 a game only, and could only be used in certain situations. I would much rather have the game extended 10-15 minutes than to have a horrible call possibly decide the fate of a team. Call me crazy. I agree though, that games can be drawn out. If a few of these post-season games were played in like June or July, I'd have called it a night before the 7th inning stretch.

There is really no reason not to start these games at 7-7:30. You are still going through the primetime slot. More people might watch if they thought they had a chance of seeing the whole game. But with the games ending so late, why get caught up in a game, when you know it's going to end around midnight and you will be fast asleep by then?

BOOYAH!!!!

If your going to give the Big 6 RyHo Kid a breaking ball, make sure it breaks and doesnt hang over the plate like that. If it breaks, he's screwed and will go golfing for it. If it doesnt, well....

TANKING....They may have blast all the load they had after beating your sox. I thought Blanton would possibly do that, but not Moyer. Cannon thought Moyer might do that, but not Blanton.

Their pitching has been horrendous, though it really showed up in the box score last night...The results of the 2 previous games could have been just as lopsided had they gotten half of their runners lob across.... To not be able to hit Moyer is unfathomable... hopefully the Maddon has one more inspirational pep talk in 'em... I think if they can get this back to St. Pete, Philly will start s-ing themselves...
