00:00And interestingly enough, the postseason schedule got released earlier today.
00:05And, yeah, I wasn't sure if we were going to be seeing baseball in November.
00:11We will not.
00:13We will not.
00:14Yes, the good news is we will not here.
00:18Bottom line, one way or the other, it looks like, even if we get seven games in the World Series,
00:25it's coming to an end one way or the other.
00:27Game seven, October 31st.
00:30And wouldn't that be something?
00:31Halloween might be the last baseball game we see for a little while there.
00:36Craig, not saying that's what's going to happen.
00:37I believe it's Kumbaya and Puppy Dogs and Rainbows, and it's all going to work out.
00:43But kind of creepy that October 31st could be the last baseball game we get on Halloween here,
00:49at least for the foreseeable future.
00:51But it's a little – didn't you feel like they were kind of pushing the envelope a little bit with
00:58baseball and when it ended?
01:01You know, I'm all for Mr. October, but can we make it early October is my question, Craig.
01:06Yeah, yeah.
01:07Yeah, Chris, look up the date of the final game of the World Series last year.
01:11I think it was at the 2nd, November 2nd or November 3rd.
01:14I think it was November 2nd, yes.
01:16I'm not sure.
01:17It was one of those.
01:18But it didn't matter because it was Toronto and L.A.
01:22So it really didn't make any difference if it went seven.
01:25And then they got kind of lucky.
01:27November 1st.
01:27Okay, so yeah, so what you're seeing now is a little bit of a pullback.
01:32And, you know, the odds of a seven-game series, Joe, are slim.
01:36You know, when you get those, it's awesome and it's great and it's a historical miracle for it to even
01:41go seven games last year
01:42based on some of the stuff we saw.
01:43So I don't think it'll come down to that, Joe.
01:46But, look, I guess you never do know.
01:48And, you know, certainly at that point, the lockout will be, you know, at the front of everybody's discussion.
01:54You know, at that point, it'll be World Series.
01:56Is this the last game for a while?
01:57I certainly hope not.
01:59But then we move into basically a month of an offseason, and that's it.
02:03And then probably, you know, no talk about baseball, at least for a period of time.
02:07It's not what I'm hoping for.
02:08I'm hoping for some sort of resolution.
02:10And it's been kind of quiet lately, too.
02:12Not a lot of passing back and forth, any proposals from the league and from the Players Association.
02:17But I have a feeling that'll change soon, too.
02:20Yeah, I have a feeling it's all going to come together.
02:24But NBC will be carrying playoff baseball for the first time since 2000.
02:30Kind of crazy.
02:31It's NBC growing up.
02:33I remember NBC being all about Major League Baseball.
02:38But they are back.
02:39And they're back.
02:39And they're back.
