Playoff Schedule

[Al Lopez Ghost (old)]

I think that the first series, best of five, is 2 games at the home of the team with the inferior record, and then 3 if necessary in the city of the team with the better record. Now if that's right, we'll have the worst record of the three division champs, so no matter where the wild card is, won't we open up against one of the other division champs here, for two games, Sept 30 and Oct 1, and then hit the road?

 

Can anyone confirm this? The Score this afternoon was putting in their half hour updates that we would be playing in Chicago on the weekend, which I think is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

2 at better record

2 at worse record

1 at better record

 

Days off depend on television. In 2000 we played Tues, Wed and fri.

Most likely if the sox make the playoffs they'd play on the road the 30th and the 1st, then have the 2nd off for travel day, and play the 3rd and 4th at home.
