Where did you hear the rumor you posted in the ALCS Game 1 thread?

A friend of mine works for the trib, he emailed me earlier today saying there were rumors going around about pushing back the start date.

Here's the ap story:

 

White Sox in waiting mode for next round

AP Photos ILJR101-105

By RICK GANO

AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO (AP) — The tense days of late September when they were fighting to keep what they’d held all season — first place — seemed far away Sunday when the Chicago White Sox stepped into the cool air and warm sun for a workout.

Manager Ozzie Guillen announced his rotation for the ALCS that will begin Tuesday. And then reflecting the loose atmosphere he has nurtured all season, he picked up a bat and stepped into the box during a simulated game with young right-hander Brandon McCarthy on the mound. That he went 0-for-2 didn’t matter.

After sweeping the defending World Series champion Red Sox in the division series and taking a day off, the White Sox were hoping to stay sharp, not knowing or caring too much if their next opponent is the Yankees or the Angels.

“The day off, we needed it mentally and physically. We have played with so much intensity the last three weeks,” Guillen said. His team nearly squandered a 15-game lead before hanging on to win the AL Central wire-to-wire.

If there is a Game 5 in Anaheim on Monday, the Angels-Yankees winner would at least be air weary from flying from coast-to-coast and then back to the middle of the country.

“I don’t worry about stuff I can’t control. Whoever is coming is coming,” Guillen said. “We’ll do our part. Whatever happens on either side.”

Jose Contreras will start Game 1 Tuesday just as he pitched the opener against the Red Sox. And Mark Buehrle will again pitch Game 2 at U.S. Cellular Field.

But when the series shifts to either New York or Anaheim for the middle three games, Guillen will use 18-game winner Jon Garland in Game 3 with Freddy Garcia in Game 4. The White Sox were 3-3 against New York and 4-6 against the Angels.

Garland didn’t start against Boston, so he will be pitching on nearly two weeks rest. That’s why he and the talented rookie McCarthy — who was again left off the roster — were throwing to batters Sunday in simulated games along with relievers Damaso Marte and Luis Vizcaino.

“Jose, we don’t want him to have too many days off,” Guillen said. “If we start Garland the first game, we hurt three guys. I know it’s not fair for Gar to have that much time off. ... It’s not my fault we won in three games. It’s a good thing we did. This kid pitched his heart out for us. Sometimes you have to make a decision you don’t want to.”

Garland didn’t seem too upset about another wait, but as a sinker ball pitcher, he acknowledged that some of his best stuff often comes with he’s a weary, rather than fresh.

“Usually my best pitchers are when I’m tired on a regular five days. That’s when it’s good,” he said. “We’ll see how it goes.”

Guillen also said Sunday he had a conversation with the erratic left-hander Marte, who struggled in Game 3, loading the bases with a single and two walks.

“We need this kid. I think he’s the only player on my roster I worry about,” Guillen said.

Orlando Hernandez, who pitched out of a no-outs bases loaded jam that Marte created in Game 3, kept his spot in the bullpen for the second round —to no one’s surprise.

“What he did was phenomenal. We all knew at the moment how big it was,” pitching coach Don Cooper said Sunday. “I think it’s getting bigger every day.”

The 22-year-old McCarthy, bumped off the playoff staff by the veteran Hernandez whom he’d replaced in the rotation late in the season, said he’s thrilled for the guy who beat him out.

“I was really happy for him, watching him go out there and be the El Duque you remember watching growing up,” McCarthy said. “He’s such a competitor.”

fwiw, the mlb channel on xm said that if the yankees series went 5, game 1 would be pushed back to wednesday

 

If it's true ALCS game 1 is pushed back to Wednesday, couldn't MLB have prepared the White Sox and their fans YESTERDAY. Or even sometime today. The scenario of a game tomorrow wasn't exactly impossible to predict.

 

And wouldn't this potential move effect every game the remainder of the postseason? What happens if the series extends to seven games and the following game is game 1 of the World Series? Will either team (hopefully the White Sox) expect the World Series to be pushed back one day?

w00t. This is perfect. This means whoever wins tomorrow will have to play 4 straight games with odd travel. Plus it knocks either Mussina or Colon back to atleast the 3rd game.

 

NY ---------------------------------------------------------------------> Anaheim

...........................................Chicago

As somebody who flew to California and back this weekend, this news brings me great joy, because I know what they're getting.

 

Except they got their private jet and its like first class when your going to Europe or somewhere far. Especially if its the yankees probably.

Greg, I'm down here in OK and if it were up to our local affiliate we would no doubt have the Cards game. I have Cox Cable and went to their website to look at the TV listing for Wed games being both LCS's come on at the same time. Looks like FOX will carry one game while FX carries the other game. If it doesn't end up being this way I'll be raising bloody f***ing hell with my cable company.

Ahem. You're assuming I didn't fly to Cali and back in a private jet?

 

I'll fight you, b****.

 

:fight

 

Anyway, yeah, I didn't fly on a private jet. I flew Southwest. But still, a Yankee/Anaheim team having to fly to and from Game 5 is likely in worse shape than a Yankee/Anaheim team with with an off day. Even if its just marginally so.

Can they really make the Yankees/Angels go from New York to Los Angeles to Chicago in three days?

 

If so, that's awesome.

If it's the Angels...

 

Didn't they refuse to change a game time for the Sox earlier in the season?

 

KW said that he would remember.

MLB doesn't want to mess with its money schedule. The only off days are on Thursday and possibly Mon of next week. If they had pushed back the start of the ALCS to Wed, that would mean they'd have to play Wed-sunday w/ no days off. Seeing how Fri-Sun would have the most viewers, no way would MLB have an off day be on Friday night. So they stuck with Thursday being the travel/ off day.

 

It sucks for either the yanks or angels, having to play 4 dyas straight. But it's great news for the Sox.
