Hey Punk, do I choose the seven, or the eight, day ALDS

Since it looks like the Central Division is going down to the wire, all tied up. We as Angel fans have to take a wait, and wait some more approach to the 2009 post season.

One hour after tomorrows tie breaker game, which might be the last played at "The Mall of America Dome", the Yankees get to decide whether they will play in the seven-day or eight-day Division Series.

Then we get to find out the starting times of the games being played, and to schedule our health management plans with our employers.

So which will they choose.

ALDS plan "A":

Game 1	Wednesday	10/7
Game 2	Friday	10/9
Game 3	Sunday	10/11
Game 4*	Monday	10/12
Game 5*	Wednesday	10/14

ALDS plan "B":

Game 1	Thursday	10/8
Game 2	Friday	10/9
Game 3	Sunday	10/11
Game 4*	Monday	10/12
Game 5*	Wednesday	10/14

Wow really?

They’re already in progress at the metrodome (8-4 MINN bottom 6th) today

The football game is also the MNF game….

the angels and red sox will be able to practice tuesday at The Big A, but won’t know when game one is. sucks if you have tickets.

The Yankees would be crazy not to take choice A

which forces the Tigers/Twins to fly overnight and play them the next day.

Exactly

Seems like the AL Central winner would be an easy target for the Yanks in choosing schedule A

Totally agree

The Yanks will put the screws to the AL Central winner, forcing them to play the day after clinching. That is a huge advantage.

Yep. Choice A puts the skanks in a strategic advantage.

Disadvantage goes to the Twins or Tigers.

I'm not so sure I agree

The high after winning (especially if it is Minnesota) will propel them in game one if it is the next day. And pitching is really not an issue since with the off day on Thursday, either Detroit or Minnesota will get to pitch their ace with adequate rest.

In addition, the flight to NYC is short from Minnesota and is no different than what they have to do during the regular season.

The Yanks are better with a three man rotation

Play Wood already. Willits sucks.

I will say that MLB finally got something right

in allowing games to be sold on stubhub before the exact time of the game is known. Last year IIRC games were only available once they were for sure going to be played and the time was known.
