Pharos04 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 www.mlb.comMajor League Baseball announced its schedule for the 2007 postseason today. The 2007 World Series is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, October 24th. The World Series will continue to follow a 2-3-2 format, meaning that off-days will be scheduled on the ensuing Friday and Tuesday. FOX Sports will broadcast the 103rd World Series. The 2007 postseason will begin on Wednesday, October 3rd, with three of the four Division Series in play. One of the two American League Division Series will begin on Thursday, October 4th. Any decisive fifth game of a Division Series will now be preceded by an off-day. All Division Series games, which will continue to follow a 2-2-1 format, will predominantly be airing on TBS with additional games on sister network TNT. The National League Championship Series, to be broadcast by TBS, is scheduled to start on Thursday, October 11th, with the American League Championship Series beginning the following day, Friday, October 12th on FOX. Each series will continue to follow a 2-3-2 format. "Major League Baseball is pleased to make these amendments to the postseason schedule," said MLB President & Chief Operating Officer Bob DuPuy. "Starting the World Series in the middle of the week, when television viewership is historically higher, will provide more fans with the opportunity to watch the games. The additional off-days throughout the postseason will give us greater flexibility to facilitate travel and protect against poor weather." 2007 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL POSTSEASON SCHEDULE Series Date Network NLDS A Game 1 Wed., Oct. 3 TBS NLDS B Game 1 Wed., Oct. 3 TBS ALDS B Game 1 Wed., Oct. 3 TBS NLDS A Game 2 Thurs., Oct. 4 TBS NLDS B Game 2 Thurs., Oct. 4 TBS ALDS A Game 1 Thurs., Oct. 4 TBS ALDS A Game 2 Fri., Oct. 5 TBS ALDS B Game 2 Fri., Oct. 5 TBS NLDS A Game 3 Sat., Oct. 6 TBS NLDS B Game 3 Sat., Oct. 6 TBS ALDS A Game 3 Sun., Oct. 7 TBS/TNT ALDS B Game 3 Sun., Oct. 7 TBS/TNT NLDS A Game 4 Sun., Oct. 7 TBS/TNT NLDS B Game 4 Sun., Oct. 7 TBS/TNT ALDS A Game 4 Mon., Oct. 8 TBS ALDS B Game 4 Mon., Oct. 8 TBS NLDS A Game 5 Tues., Oct. 9 TBS NLDS B Game 5 Tues., Oct. 9 TBS ALDS A Game 5 Wed., Oct. 10 TBS ALDS B Game 5 Wed., Oct. 10 TBS NLCS Game 1 Thurs., Oct. 11 TBS NLCS Game 2 Fri., Oct. 12 TBS ALCS Game 1 Fri., Oct. 12 FOX ALCS Game 2 Sat., Oct. 13 FOX NLCS Game 3 Sun., Oct. 14 TBS ALCS Game 3 Mon., Oct. 15 FOX NLCS Game 4 Mon., Oct. 15 TBS ALCS Game 4 Tues., Oct. 16 FOX NLCS Game 5 Wed., Oct. 17 TBS ALCS Game 5 Thurs., Oct. 18 FOX NLCS Game 6 Fri., Oct. 19 TBS ALCS Game 6 Sat., Oct. 20 FOX NLCS Game 7 Sat., Oct. 20 TBS ALCS Game 7 Sun., Oct. 21 FOX WS Game 1 Wed., Oct. 24 FOX WS Game 2 Thurs., Oct. 25 FOX WS Game 3 Sat., Oct. 27 FOX WS Game 4 Sun., Oct. 28 FOX WS Game 5 Mon., Oct. 29 FOX WS Game 6 Wed., Oct. 31 FOX WS Game 7 Thurs., Nov. 1 FOX Italics indicate "if necessary."So Game 7 (if necessary) will be played in November.

hormone Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 What if each series ends early? Do they push up dates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 What if each series ends early? Do they push up dates?Unlikely. The networks have probably already filled in the other dates with their regular programming. In addition, MLB has never moved up starts in the past (or at least it hasn't done so in the recent past).

Mr.Barragan Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 That a good idea.Perfect would be if they put the ALL-STAR game on a Saturday Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 They cant do it. That means no games on Friday or Sunday, and Weekend Summer Games sell more tickets then any other time. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Barragan Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 They cant do it.

Case in point, I'm thinking of leaving early at work on July 10 so I could see the All-Star game.Also, I think that the team with the best record should host the World Series not the ASG winners.
