1st Round Post-season Schedule...

Anyone know when that'sannounced? The season ends on Sunday, right? So do games begin on Wednesday or Thursday night? Are all 5 game first round series every day or is there a break in between games 2 and 3? How does it usually go?

Man, it would just be awesome if we won the division and got to play the Cubbies which I could watch in enemy territory here in Chicago. That would just be awesome.

Not sure on the exact schedule set yet, but I know they are going to more of a NBA-format. That means there is an off day between virtually every game.

Stupid TV rules. Ruining the strategy behind pitching matchups in the post season.

yeah, I actually found it on the MLB official site - stupid - series that start on Wednesday end the following Tuesday. Weird. Still, I'll be in Chi-town for at least one game if they play at Wrigley - gotta try and get tix for that if it happens!

Not true. Games 1 and 2 will be on Wednesday and Thursday while Games 3 and 4 will be Saturday and Sunday regardless of who we're playing. Wish I had planned my Chicago trip for that weekend instead of this last one.

Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday, Wed, Fri, Sat (NLCS Schedule)

Of course, those days include "if-necessary" games.

still, that Game 5 is almost ALWAYS the very next day, wrapping up the series by the end of the week, isn't it? I can remember the Cards series back in 2001, getting killed on Saturday, then coming back home for the Sunday night Game 5 classic.

 

[Gee!]
