World Series and League Championship Series start times moved up for 2009

What’s the best news about the upcoming Major League Baseball playoffs? Barry Jackson asks the question, and says the answer is that start times are moving up for the World Series and League Championship Series. "For the first time in 38 years, weeknight World Series games will start before 8 p.m. (7:57 p.m., to be exact) — about 40 minutes earlier than past years," Jackson writes. "The Saturday World Series game also will start at 7:57 p.m. and the Sunday game at 8:20 p.m." Jackson adds that he doesn’t "want to hear a peep from people on the West Coast griping about World Series games starting before 5 p.m. PDT. For years, folks in the East had to sacrifice sleep so Monday Night Football didn’t start before West Coasters got home from work. So deal with it, West Coasters — you’ve been catered to for years."
