    If Santana pitches like he did last night, they won't need Colon.

    Agreed, baseball could've gave them at least one day off after having to reschedule this past weekend's game.

    I'm surprised Colon has made it through the season. He is one fat swollen beast.

    What else is there to watch on a Tuesday night? There is money to be made.

    Your probably too young to remember Mickey Lolich.

    Colon is a helluva pitcher, as was Lolitch.

    ALCS/NLCS and WS schedules were announced way in advance - you can't ask ticketholders to change what day their games are just two days before the game. The Angels problem is a fluke of weather, combined with the fact that they had to go to game 5.

    Please... its a baseball game!

    They get to fly on a damn nice chartered jet.... with seats that become beds, and some of the best food you can get at 30,000 feet.

    They stay in a 4 star hotel, and don't have to lift one of their bags or worry about driving themselves anywhere.

    Maybe if its the Astros coming off an 18 inning game, I'll be concerened... but these guys play 12-15 games in a row, sometimes during the season... I don't see what the big deal is aboud 4 games in a row (in 3 different cities).

    I understand all that, but flying is flying and when you've gone from Anahem to New York to Anaheim to Chicago in five days that's a lot of traveling. I know teams play 12-15 games in row sometimes (I'm not sure ever with that kind of traveling) and that there's was really nothing that could be done in this situation, but as a baseball fan (and one that's rooting hard for the White Sox), it would've been ideal not to have to see the ALCS start the day after one of the teams clinched.

    But didn't they ask the ticketholders to change what day their games are just two days before the game? :)

    Hmmm. I guess I should have said "If it can be avoided, you don't want to ask ..." :) The Chicago ticketholders shouldn't get screwed because the other series went too long. Anaheim should have won it quicker if they didn't want to deal with these problems!
