Congrats to the Rockies on making their first world series. Unfortunately, the breaking ball may not be the only thing falling at the team’s first World Series game.

Anyone else realize, if the World Series goes the distance, game seven will be … November 1st?!?! The three teams left — Boston, Cleveland, and Colorado — don’t play in exactly warm-weather cities. Has a post-season game ever been cancelled by an blizzard?

This is baseball’s stupidity: Because FOX wanted a Wednesday start instead of Saturday, the series got pushed back, but if the sport wasn’t so stubborn and would just cut down the 162-game schedule, this wouldn’t be a problem. When the yahoos added a wild-card round of the playoffs, it extended the year another week, which means, um, yeah, you could be playing the World Series in the Colorado snow.

The solution? Cut the season by at least a week to a 154-game season. Damn the history of the 162-game schedule - it just cannot be done. If you love that 162-game year, want to preserve the chase for Barry Bonds’ home run mark or other recrods, fine: You kill the wild card. Oh, you don’t like that? We need a useless round of the playoffs? Fine. But know your championship will be decided in conditions 100% different than the ones players are used to.

Wow, sounds fair to me. And you wonder why no one seems to care about baseball any longer.
