I had to go to summer school for failing gym

I don't follow baseball, or any sport for that matter, but I feel I should have at least a faint wisp of working knowledge on this*. Please tell me, what exactly is going on with the Red Sox right now? Are they having a really good season or something? Explain in layman's terms, if you please. Large print optional.




_{* Understand, the only reason I happened to watch any of the 2004 World Series winning games was because the cast of Murder In The Cathedral, which I was in, would rush to someone's TV-having house after the rehearsals/performances to watch the games, and my social options were to go along or sit home alone, so I went along. But after that I forgot all about baseball.}

Something you may want to be aware of: the postseason schedule. The fifth and sixth games of the World Series (if necessary) are on the same nights as two of the Post-Meridian Radio Players shows. Times are not yet set.

Oooh, that's bad. Not just for the PMRPers who are baseball fans (among which I do not count myself, which is good, because I'm from NYC & if I were fanatical about baseball either my hometown or my adopted hometown would revile me), but for PMRPers who would prefer not to split our potential audience with the sports bars.

For plumtreeblossom, the World Series is best of seven, which means that unless one team sweeps the first four games, there will be a game on our opening night. And if the Sox are in the series (which they will be if they beat the Indians in the championship series), then a lot of folks will be very excited to watch the games.

Despite this, as New Englanders, we are morally obligate to hope the Sox win, no matter how much it will decimate our audience.

During Murder, we were able to rush over catch most of the game after our perfs, since they seem to take place late. We had pheromone's house practically next door, which is now derspatchel's house. But that doesn't solve are problem with audience baseball fans, I guess...

It's annoying that the time of the World Series games is not set, since it's already known that one of two Eastern Time Zone teams will be playing one of two Mountain Zone teams. In previous years, I think they've been on at 8:30 Eastern Time.
