I know many of you will be disappointed. 801719[/snapback] I will laugh my nuts off if the game gets moved until Monday and the networks don't even broadcast it. On a side note, how dumb are the schedule makers? They know that the A's and the Raiders share the same complex. They know that the A's have a legitimate shot to make the playoffs every year, why not try scheduling an away game during the MLB playoffs?

I think MLB screwed up, now if the Raiders were good, it would matter to some people, but i guess it is ok for the raiders to accept moving back a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, every day that the playoffs get pushed out is a day closer to November. Baseball and cold weather are not friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the reference was to the Raiders game THIS weekend, in which they're 15-point dogs to Denver. I really need to work on my reading comprehension.

Baseball and cold weather are not friends. 802074[/snapback] oh come on, that should be called planning by the manager, knowing how to get his ace in the series 2 maybe 3 times. Besides, baseball players have to get used to playing in cold weather, i mean after all they play in april and the weather is typically no better on opening day than it is now. That and baseball players need to learn to suck it up a bit, like they would have to if oakland were to have a quake, they would have to play in november like they did when that one earthquake hit.

Game 2 of the World Serie$ is $unday, October 22, 7:30 Eastern, at the AL champion's park. That's why there won't be an NFL game on NBC that night. (Did I mention $$$?) Looks like it might not matter anyway, since the Tigers are up 2-0 and heading home for the next three games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
