Wake Up and Play Ball
I am officially in favor of baseball games being played at 6:00 AM. I got a respite from idiotic local morning news and even more idiotic national morning news shows (they might report on the presidential election as long there isn't a runaway bride, Britney breakdown, or cop killing his ex-wives that day), I got to hear an exciting rally by the Sox as I drove to work at 7:30 (they subsequently blew the lead during my walk from the parking lot) followed by a dramatic ninth inning homerun by an unknown rookie to tie the game in the ninth. (The problem is the game went extra innings and here it is @ 9:45 and I am still checking updates instead of working). I wouldnt want it frequently buts its a nice change of pace after a miserable winter (there's still a 12 inch snow-pack on the ground here in L-A [Lewiston-Auburn] thats still melting) . (Best announcer quote "I can't tell who's warming up in the bullpen because of Japanese camera angles")

This is the flip side of the 2004 ALCS (may it live in holy memory forever). Every night we'd be up until 1AM watching incredibly exciting games, unable to fall asleep afterward. The entire cities of Boston and New York were like walk-throughs for a zombie movie every morning afterward.
Looks like it's gonna be a Tiger/Padre (1984) rematch in the Series.

The Tigers and the Padres and definitely the Rudy and Hillary of this young season
Just having the Tigers be competitive is exciting enough.
