World Series Delay: War at Home?

Carp on 3 days rest doesn’t sound like a good plan, since they take pains to keep him on regular (or even more) rest.

I figure the rotation breaks down like this:

Suppan tomorrow, Reyes on Friday, Weaver on Saturday and Carp on Sunday. If the last two are necessary, of course.

L. A. had the Chargers?

Oh, and I don’t know about anybody else, but I hate football.

Hope it dries up out there, so you can have your Series. Who’s playing?

I forgot to say when I think Game 4 is going to start. :wink:

Didn’t you know that San Diego is a suburb of LA?

Why? Is she a Cubs fan? You know those types of mixed relationships are doomed.

My sister is absolutely devestated. She has Cards tickets for the series, but she works most of the weekend. Plus my dad came up just for yesterday’s game and I don’t think he can do that for whenever the next one is. Gotta suck for the fans.

While I was hoping to watch the game and I feel bad for everybody who really cares about baseball, I have to wholeheartedly agree with the OP.

The War at Home is a prime example of why I don’t watch much network TV at all. Can that show possibly be formulaic? Dopey white salesman guy with three kids (who are all smarter than he is) and a wife who’s way too good for him on a lot of levels. Hmm, never saw a show like that before! Or perhaps it’s because they break the fourth wall with “insightful” commentary from the character’s internal monologue. Ahhh, art!

All that being said, it was like a car accident, I just couldn’t stop watching. Luckily, some spirit moved my thumb to the tv off button on the remote in the middle of the 3rd half hour.

Look, I’m a guy and I have the normal level of interest in a World Series in which I don’t truly care about either team, but if these delays fuck up normal Fox programming any more I’m going to scream. Give me House back you asshats!

So, when is this baseball crap over with? I’m really sick of my tv schedule being screwed up over it.

(bolding mine)

I just wanted to say that this made my morning.

As a Diamondbacks fan, baseball is dead to me until Scott Geyer and Mark Grace drop to their knees and beg Thom Brenneman back to our booth.

Here’s what you do: You go out with your girlfriend, the Cards win the World Series while you’re out with her, and you have something to hold over her head for the rest of your lives. You’ll be able to get out of going anywhere you don’t want to go, ever again: “Yes, but I missed seeing the Cards win the World Series for you.”

Ummm, no, I did not know that.

Probably explains the high density of Spanish-speakers, though.
