Game time

Not to keep harping on a point I've made here before, but...

I really enjoyed watching a chunk of the first half of the Super Bowl last night with Nolan and Thomas. Nolan was interested. He was asking questions about what was going on and I was explaining the game to him.

With a 6:25 p.m. start time it made it very easy for us to have dinner, clean up in the kitchen and then settle in on the couch in time for the kickoff. We still had a good hour before bedtime (the kids didn't spend that whole hour watching the game—it didn't hold their attention that well).

I'd love to share a World Series game with the boys like that. But thanks to the geniuses at Major League Baseball and Fox you're lucky if the first pitch is thrown before 8:30 p.m.

Why can't MLB get with the program? Couldn't they at least start the weekend World Series games around the same time as the Super Bowl?
