The BUZZ in Philly

Major League Baseball announced today that the starting times for the first two games at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday and Thursday will be 3pm vs the winner of tonight’s wild-card playoff between the Padres and Rockies.

Cole Hamels will start for the Phillies, hoping to pick-up where he left off after pitching a gem on Friday night.

Once the series moves off the East Coast to either San Diego or Colorado, the game times will be 9:30pm on Saturday and 10:00pm on Sunday. Game five, if necessary, will be played next Tuesday in Philadelphia at 6:30.

TBS will carry all of the playoff games. Cal Ripken, Jr. will serve as the studio analyst for the games. Ripken’s Orioles defeated the Phillies in the 1983 World Series in Ripken’s 2nd year in the majors. It would be the only World Series victory of his stellar career.
