It's kind of ridiculous that the MLB has weekday day playoff games. No other sport does this except the first round of March Madness. Who can even go to the ballpark?

Looks like a good crowd in Cleveland and I'm sure Wrigley is sold out.

I mean, what's the alternative? You can't have the playoffs go too long because the weather is going to get dicey in the north.

Play games at the same time

Also Red Sox take game 1! Lets go Sox!

TV doesn't like it, and that's more important than fans in the stands.

26,186 is the best Cleveland can do for a playoff game?

People can take off. The Phillies would've been sold out.

To be fair, Philadelphia's metro population is 3-3.5 times Cleveland's...

They can, but it certainly presents more of a challenge for teams.

At least three of the Wild Card series will get a Game 3, and that includes the "spousal series" in Chicago, which I've dubbed for obvious reasons. (We were only 14 years old when the original postseason matchup took place back in '84, so we had not yet met, and wouldn't for another four years.)
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

It would have been sold out in Detroit too.

Yankees force game 3 tomorrow. Dang it.
