Where Does All
the Time Go?
The first 2-1
game between the Royals and the Orioles in the ALCS featured ten hits over the
course of 2 hours and 55 minutes; the second game was a minute faster, maybe
because there only nine hits. Over in
the National League, the Giants-Cardinals’ games contests went anywhere from
3:03 to 3:53, all of them in regulation.
Come the World
Series broadcast on Fox (“Don’t miss Sleepy Hollow or The Simpsons”), I’m
betting every game closes in on 3:30.
Heaven forbid another Don Larsen comes along to try and pitch a perfect
game. Producers would have to find ways
to slow things down to fit in all the commercials. Maybe a telethon: We’ll get back to our regularly scheduled
inning as soon as we reach $50 million in contributions to our advertisers.
Or we could bid
on keeping Joe Buck from talking.
