Red Sox, Angels series to start Thursday

PrintNo 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.
9:37
good thing I don’t have school on Friday

What a joke of a start time.

Tell me about it
It means tat I have to wake up at (or stay awake to) 3:37 AM!
Gigantic FUCK!
"That was a lot of fun… You just keep pounding balls into the gap. The one thing you don’t want to do is hit a home run. That’s a rally-killer." Jeff Francoeur
The NLDS starts at 2:30.
How the hell is anyone that works able to watch that?

at least u guys get to be home then
the match starts just about when i start going to work.
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
