la at best pushing it gets up in the air at 6pst tonight at best.
5 hour flight to pittsburgh=11 pst
takes about 1.5 hours to get stuff just personal not team together charter to hotel
that makes it 12:30pet 3:30 est
1 hour to get room move in and lights out
now 4:30am est.
sleep till 10:30am
half hour to do what you need to and brunch at 11am est
eat pre game meal and get to park no later then 1:30 pm est
late bp you hit last
pre game snack about 3-3:30 est after your group is done hitting and feilding a few very few but its a must.
game time 5:05 pm est
this is a coaching nightmare even in the show for a coach and player that has to do it. so la could be alittle slow come game time,this doesnot happen very many times a year like this so just a heads up if you are thinking about la on sunday.

now game going extra innings they have no chance to be in air at 6pst 7 if they are lucky. remeber they dont eat post game meal on plane and they willnot snack on plane and eat in pittsburgh at 430am.
if they drop this game after blowing the lead in the 9th,it makes pittsbugh even stronger,the longer it draws out the better for pittsburgh.

Excellent heads up FLETCH... we always welcome your insider type info. Keep it coming and the winnas too!!!

[fletcher]

Take a look at the Devil Rays...... they have enough problems, but when they finished today in Montreal (which I hear is the worst place to fly out of because of customs when it comes to all MLB cities) they have to go all the way to Atlanta and play at noon central time. They are going to be a huge dog no matter what but this time they might even be worse off than normal.

is it at all possible the game time could change?

i would doubt it.

current line is:

Moneyline
Los Angeles:K Brown -160
Pittsburgh:J Schmidt +140

Over/Under
Over +7.5 -120
Under +7.5 +100

i'm laying 1 unit ($50) on Pitts and the Over now. the books will wake up soon.

thanks for the heads-up!!!

Didn't Kevin Brown leave before Sunday's game to Pitt? Everyone else will be on the late flight.
