I realize that this is a change in format, but last year, Bowie Kuhn was thinking of making a schedule change to take the home field advantage away from the Cubs. So, why should there be a problem this year with making a schedule change? As for the seventh game being on a Monday night, why not? The final game of the NCAA championship is always on a Monday night. I've been thinking about calling the Commissioner's office and suggesting this; but, I always come back to the thought -- will they even take me seriously. Probably not. -- Mark Tischler (312) 393-7199 (home) (312) 979-5123 (work) ihnp4!ihlpg!tischler
