Red Sox, Angels series to start Thursday

by Randy Booth on Oct 6, 2009 5:27 PM EDT in News

No surprise here: the Red Sox and Angels will start their ALDS on Thursday night while the Yankees and TBA will start tomorrow.

The Yankees, who own home-field advantage in the playoffs, had the choice of starting either Wednesday or Thursday against the winner of today's Detroit-Minnesota one-game playoff for the AL Central title.

The Yankees will get a day off between Game 1 and Friday's Game 2, allowing them to go with a three-man starting rotation while allowing for extra rest for relievers Phil Hughes and Mariano Rivera.

It's no shock the Yankees didn't want to give either the Tigers or Twins a day off after what should be a grueling game that is going on now (update: tied at zero in the top of the 2nd).

The Red Sox will play game one against the Angels at 9:37 p.m. on Thursday.

Just imagine

If tonight’s Twins-Tigers game went like 16 innings. Eek.

At least Miguel Cabrera doesn’t have to worry…team sure isn’t letting him drive the bus.

What a joke of a start time.
