NLCS Schedule: Leave Work Early Friday

The tentative NLCS schedule has been released. Rumblings about an early Friday start?

Game 1 – Philadelphia – Thursday – 8:15 p.m.
Game 2 – Philadelphia – Friday – 4:15 p.m.
Game 3 – Los Angeles – Sunday – 8:15 p.m.

So there you go. (Note: From Todd Zolecki’s notes. Things may change depending on the AL series.) Doesn’t really make sense to me that Friday’s game is at 4:15. Fox will lose the entire West Coast audience so TBS can have — likely — a Boston and Tampa audience for primetime? Ridiculous.

And Sunday’s game can’t be earlier? Like 6:15?

I was hoping that with the LCS I wouldn’t have to find some way to avoid working during a game. Ugh. Thanks, Major League Baseball.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
