Divsion Series Schedule / I hate MLB and ESPN

[Providence A's]

This isn't a series thread as there will be a playoff forum...I'm just posting the schedule and how angry it makes me as I'm not going to see the first two games at all and very little of the third game.

vs.

Tuesday 10:00 AM PT away ESPN
Wednesday 10:00 AM PT away ESPN
Friday 1:00 PM PT home ESPN
Saturday TBD home TBD (if necessary)
Sunday TBD away TBD (if necessary)

Series Notes
-Zito game 1, Loaiza game 2, Harden/Haren games 3 and 4, Zito game 5

Both games at 10:00 am? F*ck me.

[Providence A's]

tell me about it...that's 1 PM here and I'll be at work both days. The Friday game is at 4 and I get out of work around then, but won't be home before then.

Very rarely do west coast fans get screwed, we've ahd playoff games atrt at 10PM on work/school nights. i'd rather see a game at 10AM than 10PM.

[Providence A's]

well, unless people in Oakland have that week off from work or call in sick, how are they going to see games on at 10 AM and 1 PM? That's garbage.

Call in sick, you find a way.

[Providence A's]

stay up late, you find a way. it's retarded for them to do that...the west coast teams should get the later times.

[Providence A's]

Loaiza starts tomorrow, Haren on Friday, Harden on Saturday if necessary, and Zito on Sunday if necessary.

[A'sDiehard]

Haren better suck it up.

From Yahoo:

Notes

Including the 2003 division series against the Red Sox, Chavez is in a 1-for-30 slump in the playoffs. ...







That's two guys that need to suck it up (Haren/Chavez). It starts friday.

Crap Ellis has a broken finger:

That blows but you never know a guy like Jimenez could step up.

[Providence A's]

Ellis isn't necessarily out though...we'll find out tomorrow for sure.

[Providence A's]

Ellis is out for the playoffs. The A's can replace him if they advance to the next round. Let's go Oakland! Let's get it done today and have Harden ready for game 1 or 2 of the ALCS!

Congrats to the win

[Providence A's]

woo hoo...all of the ALCS games are on Fox!
