Full Version: Sox change start times of 6/10 and 6/12 games 6:05 PM
Very nice of them. Love it.
Classy move. I wonder if they'll do the same thing for the games on the 10th and 12th when the Celtics are in LA.
The Sox are either on the road or in the afternoon on the other days of the NBA Finals.

That's cool of them, I know the Bruins change game itmes every year to not coincide with the Sox and Pats in the playoffs, not sure if the Celtics have, but probably.

The Celtics can't change the game times in the playoffs because it's controlled by the national TV schedule. All the games will start at 6:05 EDT.

so that would be 3:05 PST
and if the left coast games are 6:05 PST then that is a 9:05 EDT start time, right?

Hey, Looie's, you're on the left coast like I am, so what's the difference? If you say you have the MLB baseball package, and the game's too early for your work schedule, DVR it (if you have a DVR). If not, it's one game... BTW, the Wednesday game is on ESPN, Jackson vs. Beckett, 4:05 Pacific. Wait, you're jacking up a 3:05 Pacific start time to 9:05 Eastern? The country isn't that wide.
