We wait two days for a game and we get this? Josh Beckett put in a great performance while McCarver and Buck eulogized Joe Torre. And now have to wait another two days for a game—at least this one's a valid travel day.

Meanwhile, the Rockies await the AL victor. They'll be waiting for eight days. That's longer than it took to play 33 World Series. When the Orioles swept the Dodgers in the 1966 World Series, the final game was played just one week after the end of the season. You could replay that series in real time while the Rockies wait to play their next playoff game.

It's the longest that any team has ever had to wait between series and is the second longest gap for any postseason team. San Fran and Oakland's 12-day wait after game 2 of the earthquake-interrupted 1989 World Series is the only longer wait between playoff games:

This will be potentially the longest postseason in history. Only a sweep will avoid tying or setting a new "record" for postseason days:

It won't be the latest a postseason will end, but ut could be the second latest:

The number of days it is taking to plat a game is the highest for any postseason without some sort of problem due to weather or some other kind of act of god:

And there will potentially be the most off days this postseason outside of the 1989 earthquake Series and the constantly rained out 1975 playoffs:

And still they can't expand the first round to seven games. Go figure.
