While I'm glad the Mets made it to the playoffs, I can't help but get annoyed at the ridiculous game schedule -- the painfully slow games, the jacked-up crowd audio, the hopelessly late start times. I put the Detroit game on last night, thinking I'd fall asleep on the couch way before the 7th inning stretch. At about 10 I started flipping channels and saw Fantastic 4 starting on HBO -- I left it on, got sucked in, decided to watch it all the way through. It ended a little after 11:30, way past my current bedtime. I decided to check back on the game. They were still playing!

I'll probably watch a few innings of the Mets tongiht, catch a few zzz's, and get the final score when I wake up. Baseball is so lame; and MLB.com is still blowjhinski.
