Red Sox, Angels series to start Thursday

Classsyyyy.

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.

The NLDS starts at 2:30.

How the hell is anyone that works able to watch that?

Let history repeat itself

Now that the Twins are in, the AL matchups are the same as they were in 2004 – Twins starting @ MFY, Red Sox starting @ LAA. Here’s hoping for the same results. Go Sox
