Hey Rick, do you know of any way that’s useful to protest crappy MLB officiating? and to dump Bud Selig !

I hate to give up baseball, but it’s just getting stupid.

They missed a chance to bring out Ted William’s frozen head.

Game-time temps are mostly a sham anyway. I used to provide them for MLB games in NYC based on what weather.com said like a half hour before first pitch, usually for a location several miles from the actual stadium. Not surprising at all that a big difference could be measured in the stadium at actual first pitch.

FYI - there is still one more game to go in Colorado. Thankfully it will get started around 3:45 MST. It would benfit the Phils to wrap this up in Denver and head to LA directly instead of going to Philly and then LA after Game 5.

The Yankees-Twins game started at 7 Eastern, 6 local time in Minnesota. Did the people in Denver really think MLB was going to start a game between an eastern and central team at 10 Eastern, 9 local time? The Yankees and Twins did not play in the afternoon they played at night.

The game started that late because of a function of timezones. Originally all 4 series were scheduled for that day with 3 of them taking place in the Central or Eastern timezone. Because MLB does not want 2 games at once that left to only western game for the 10pm eastern (8 local) start.
