One year ago last night (October 27, 2008), the hardball fans of Philadelphia were celebrating a long-awaited world championship. This year, on October 28th, they await their team's participation in Game 1 of the 2009 World Series. What's wrong with this picture?

There is a real possibility that this year's Fall Classic will wrap up with a Game 7 played on Thursday, November 5th. That's November. The month before December. The one with Christmas in it.

Shorten the regular season, eliminate the WBC, and play the biggest games of the year where they belong—in mid-October.
