Baseball Shoots Itself in the Foot. . . Again

From Yahoo sports:
The World Series will begin the first Tuesday after the completion of the League Championship Series starting in 2007, possibly pushing the championship into the first week of November and setting up a schedule that sets games on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and, if necessary, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Great idea moving the World Series to Friday and Saturday nights, but extending the schedule by four days so that games six and seven can run into November is just plain dumb. I can't wait to see a Chicago-St. Louis World Series this November. Should be plenty cool, with a chance of snow.

Memo to Baseball: Start the world series on a Friday night, play games Friday/Saturday, Monday Tuesday Wednesday, and Friday/Saturday. Yes, you'd be going up against Monday Night Football, but you won't have to compete with Pro Football on Sundays.

Better yet, move the weekend games to daytime so that there's a chance anybody under the age of 12 might get to enjoy them.
