I usually get the 2 or 3 AM start times. Problem was, <i>AFN did not air the game live</i>. WTF? Just the re-broadcast, which came at 8 PM my time. So I avoided all media, like <i>maranara</i> did. I even checked email on my cell, so I wouldn't accidentally see anything about the game on Yahoo Mail's news headlines. Then there it was on the scroll. Sox win. Grr... Game 2 just started on re-broadcast. Hopefully ESPN doesn't pull the same crap. When the sked came out, I was absolutely geeked to have a live Sox game at noon my time.

My favorite part, though, was avoiding all sports media all day so I could watch it on the replay later in the afternoon, and seeing the score on the ESPN2 scroll halfway through the game. Sigh...
