Playoffs to start Wednesday

The Red Sox will begin their 2007 postseason on Wednesday, choosing the eight-day Wednesday-Friday format instead of the seven-day Thursday-Friday format. They were granted the decision by virtue of having the best record in the American League.

 

So that means Game 1 will be Wednesday at Fenway Park, with the Red Sox facing the Angels. New York will take on Cleveland on Thursday at Jacobs Field.

 

Game times have not yet been determined.

Personally I like the old format better as a fan. I hate waiting every other day between almost every game. Although it's better for the team since both Beckett and Schilling could pitch twice in the series.
