Open Thread: ALCS Game #1, NLCS Game #2 - Friday 10/12
The Indians/Red Sox game begins at 6:07 CT; the Diamondbacks/Rockies at 9:07 CT.
Naturally, with the length of some postseason games this year, that will undoubtedly lead to some overlap. With the games on different networks -- ALCS on Fox, NLCS on TBS -- there won't be much problem following both of them.
That does raise an interesting question. Let's say the Cubs had won their Division Series and were facing the Rockies. They'd have been at home at Wrigley Field tonight.
When would they have started these games, with one in Eastern time and one in Central? They wouldn't have made the Cubs start at 9 pm local time.
Food for thought, anyway, on a day without much else to discuss.
MLB.com Gameday for the Indians/Red Sox game (6:07 pm CT start)
MLB.com Gameday for the Rockies/Diamondbacks game (9:07 pm CT start)
Discuss amongst yourselves.

That would have ...
More likely, the Boston game would have started at 4:30 Central time (5:30 Eastern) and the Cubs at 8:00 Central.

I think those things...
The game in 2005 where Greg Maddux got his 3000th strikeout was delayed over two hours and didn't start till about 9:30; it went into extra innings and ended after 1 am.

I'm torn
If the Indians win it all, the next closest team is the Giants, who haven't won it all since 1954 and New York.
But I'll probably root for the Indians anyway.

I'm rootin' for the Red Sox ...
And hey, it's just Manny being Manny. Great play on a Lofton-hit fly.
At this point, I'm hoping for a Rockies/Sox WS. It's time for somebody new.

I rooted for the Tribe ...
Plus I like the "Manny being Manny" freak show! If I could actually play baseball, I'm sure I'd be just like him, emotionally, a free spirit gone nuts.
Now if the Rox make it into the WS and face the Sox, I'll be happy if either win!
So, in a sense, Al, I am rooting for a team new to all of this.

I think this is too simplistic
pitchers would go to Atlanta have a great year or two and make a killing on the free agent market (Millwood & Byrd come to mind). He did not have a lot to work with in Baltimore. I think he is a great pitching coach.

I agree
Look at Torre and his managerial record before he was brought to New York to manage all of that talent - it was bad. Sometimes managing a very talented group is not easy. You have to know how to handle the egos and keep everyone on the same page. I would think both Mazzone and Torre did that pretty well.

The Rockies
I thought Melvin blew it last night leaving Valverde in as long as he did. You could see his location was getting worse with every hitter in the 10th. I know there is the off day today, but you have to win the game you are playing.
I don't know what it is this year, I always root for the D Backs except when they play Cubs, but I can't do it against the Rox. I guess I am still pissed lol
Actually, the Cubs beat themselves more than AZ beating them. The Rockies are showing us how to beat them.
I would like to see the Tribe in the WS, but it looks like the BoSox are too frigging good.

About Dbacks/Rockies...
Marvin Davis, an oil billionaire, attempted to buy the A's in the mid-1970's and move them to Denver. It was nearly a done deal, too.
The Rockies have indeed shown how to build a baseball team and how to win. This is no fluke.

Denver.....
The atmosphere is awesome here, this truly is a Broncos town year round generally, however all the peeps here are talking about it this Rockies team!! If you didn't know any better you would think football isn't even going on around here these last few weeks....
Although I was saddened by the Cubs falling out of the playoffs, I have had a great time going to the games here in Denver and experiencing playoff baseball at its finest.....
They are calling it Rocktober fellas, catch the fever!!!!

Snow
Nine inning baseball games should not be pushing the four hour envelope. The season is too long.
I want the Rockies to win the pennant. And then, I want one of those blizzards that Colorado gets hit with in late October. I want baseball to have to deal with it because this is of there own doing. Baseball should not be starting in March (next year) and ending in November (this year.)
