Another Bad Bud Idea

News Item: World Series to Start on Wednesday This Year

Bad idea. Bad, bad, bad. I LOVE that the World Series starts on a Saturday night, and if it reaches 6th and 7th games, they're on Saturday and Sunday. There was nothing at all wrong with that system and who the hell knows why they didn't keep it. Won't putting the games on weeknights, when they'll end after midnight on the East Coast, make all the kids miss the end because they'll already be sleeping?

The other rationale, ESPN.com says, is that "a Wednesday start will allow baseball to avoid playing on Friday, which is TV's second-least watched night after Saturday." Which is wonderful, especially considered that the games AREN'T PLAYED ON FRIDAY NOW.
