Reminds me of 1974
walking home from school and peaking at a NLCS game via living room windows. Long before VHS and such existed, once a game was broadcast it went in to the nether world.
rest of the country...
“LA fans are such shitty fans. I can’t believe they don’t even show up until the third inning”
Well this now officially blows
That start time may make my wife unable to go with me on Friday. I blame the Yankees.
Logistical Nightmare
Hypothetical:
with two kid family going to the game.
Option 1:
Dad and Mom takes day off.
Kids goto school from 08:00 -11:00, picked up from School and head to game. Get hell from school officials because they are programmed to whine when kids are not in school for any reason other then sickness. Seven year old drains his father of 200.00 in Dodger crap/food just so he can enjoy the game for seven innings before his wife makes him leave because the kids are bored.
Option 2:
Dad drives one hour to work, arrives at 07:30. Leaves at 11:00 to pickup his kids at 12:00. Arrives in 2nd inning if lucky.Seven year old drains his father of 200.00 in Dodger crap/food just so he can enjoy the game for seven innings before his wife makes him leave because the kids are now sick from all the food they ate.
Option 3:
Family takes the day off from school and work just so they can get to the game on time. Seven year old drains his father of 200.00 in Dodger crap/food just so he can enjoy the game for seven innings before his wife makes him leave because the kids are bored.
Option 4:
Leave the kids in school, goto the game, enjoy them with another adult who understands and loves Dodger baseball. Still have to take at minimum a 1/2 day off from work but in some cases you will need to blow the whole day off.
Option 5:
Listen to Vin on MLB.COM, while chatting with your sick Dodger buds on truebluela. If they suck you can just go back to work.

Option 6:
threaten kids to shut up sit down and behave or you will burn down disneyland.
Option 7:
Have wife drive, and make backup plans with another fan for a ride home when she bails so you can drink like a bluejays fan.
Option 8:
Claim to be Tommy LaSorda’s personal chef and get access to locker room foodservice, steal Manny’s dreadlock scrunchie.

MLB HATES CHILDREN!
Obviously.
But just based on my experience (3 kids under 6), definitely option 4.
It is way too loud for young kids and they can’t understand the intensity. Older ones might be OK.
I bought tickets for the family 2nd to last game of Colorado series thinking it would be an exhibition. Little did I know how intense the ending of a five and 2/3 game Divisionclinging-less skid would be. Kids were not happy about the amount of screaming. Left kids at home for playoffs and enjoyed every minute.
I think kids who are not Dodger fanatics are best going to regular season (non Division clinching) games.
Considering that the Dodger fans basic chant at DS is
……………. sucks which is the lamest chant ever invented it strikes me as funny that anyone finds Beat LA silly.
Actually blame the All-Star game
The times were pretty much locked in for whenever each series started. If the Yankee/Angel Series had started on Thursday, they would have had this schedule.
One thing I have wondered about, what if the NL had won home field advantage, how would that had played out.
One thing, I don’t know if the Dodgers would have chosen the longer schedule since that would have meant that the Cardinals would have been able to go with 3 pitchers.
Anyway, for right now, the LCS will have this broadcast schedule so you might want to keep it in mind when buying tickets.
I’ll be sitting in class taking a midterm when the game starts at 10:07 AM HST. Great.
You wanna know how great baseball is? The greatest basketball player ever left his sport to play baseball.
Aloha
It’s a little hard to feel much sympathy for people who live in the paradise known as Hawai’i !
What really sucks for you
Is that all the local sports coverage about baseball will be centered on Shane Victorino.
Not as big a problem for East Coasters...
But I have to explain to my non-sports fan boss that I’ll be leaving about an hour early then he’ll be sad because he won’t have someone to center align his Excel tables. Seriously, he actually still doesn’t know how to do that.
I hate my job.
Game time
I’m off until next Thursday, so I’m set for now. Let’s crush the phills. Mitch Williams is a tool.

Option 1: Sit at work on Thursday and Friday wondering what to do with my last two vacation days
Option 2: Buy NLCS tickets and plane ticket with Dodgers up 2-0 in series, tell my LA friends to get off of work and go get blitzed for two straight days of playoff baseball at the stadium.
Option 2 ftw!
