If you’re a Phillies fan, prepare to lose some sleep. That’s because the Phils are opening a nine-game road trip tonight on the West Coast, with three games in Oakland against the A’s.
It’s something of a homecoming for Jimmy Rollins, who grew up in the Oakland area.
Maybe it will kickstart the Phils out of the offensive doldrums that plagued them during their recent less-than-stellar home stand.
But the real problem for us newspaper folks is the fact that the first two games of the series start at 10:05 p.m. That means they may or may not make it into your print edition of the paper. We’ll replate when the games end, meaning we will stop the press (although no one will actually run into the press room and yell, “Stop the Presses,” that only happens in the movies.) We’ll remake the page with the result of the game, and then restart the press. Just how many papers the game coverage actually makes it into depends on a lot of factors.
We’ll also offer full coverage online. We get a break on Thursday, with an afternoon game starting at 3:35 p.m.
