Open Chat: ALCS Game 1
I stayed up late last night watching the Angels-Yankees ALDS Game 5, in part because it was an excellent game and in part because I was working on an ALCS preview for The Hardball Times. I learned that it is sort of tough to write a preview of a series that starts the next day when it's approaching midnight and you're not even sure which teams are playing.
And this morning I suspect I will learn (the hard way) that staying up into the wee hours of the night to work on an article is not a great idea when you've got work to do and more articles to write starting at around 8:00 a.m. In other words, there's not much of a blog entry for you to read here today.
Instead, feel free to use the comments section to discuss your ALCS predictions or whatever it is that interests you. By the way, as much as it pains me to say it, I'm going with the White Sox in seven. But I'll be rooting for the Angels in four.
Oh, and check out my Playoff Preview: White Sox-Angels.
