Time's a Wastin'


Time’s a Wastin’

Last night, the White Sox beat the Astros, 3-2, in a game that featured all of fifteen base runners.  Two runs scored on a homer for the Sox; Houston turned two double plays; there were no pitching changes during an inning; and the Astros failed to put a runner on base after the second inning.  So, why did this little gem of a game take two hours and fifty minutes?

Well, Commissioner Selig says the hitters are partially to blame with all their routines in the batter’s box, and he’s right.  But Selig also says of the overlong All-Star Homerun Derby that “television wants a three-hour program.”

Earth to Bud:  It’s your game.  Own it.
