Hey Guys,

Need some quick help.

Thanks TM,That's what I was thinking. Is that pretty much the normal each year for Sunday? Seems like it is but couldn't remember for sure.J

this has been the schedule for the last few years, ever since they moved the Saturday games to late afternoon and evening. Sunday games used to be 12:30 and 4 -- they build in that extra half-hour to avoid any overlap. But when they went to the night games on Sat., they also moved the Sunday games to 1 and 4:30 -- again giving that half-hour buffer, but now pushing the games further into the lucrative prime time hours.
