Full NLDS Details, Including Start Times
Here’s everything you need to know about the series:
-No word on final postseason roster
-Charlie Manuel said Carlos Ruiz and J.C. Romero are “good to go”
-When asked how “hungry” Roy Halladay was for a playoff start, Charlie said he was “starving”- well, glad that’s settled
-Game 3 will be at either 7:07 or 8:07 on Sunday night (depending on if AL series is over), up directly against the Eagles game against the 49ers
-Game 4 is at 5:07 or 7:37 (depending on other series)
-Game 5 is at 6:07 or 8:07 (you get the drill)
Try that tactic with your boss. “I’ll be in at 7:07 or 8:07 tomorrow depending on if I hit the snooze button.”
