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.
