  • Yankees, Angels play another (long) thriller

    Here is my Friday column, in which I whine about the length of postseason baseball games and use that as an argument against replay review.

    I wrote before Game 5, which on one hand supported my argument in that it ran 3:34 - the 14th of 23 playoff games this year to exceed 3:30.

    On the other hand, it was a fascinating game - as many Yankees games have been this October - no matter how long the last three innings took.

    So, my quarrel is not with baseball as a sport. It still works as entertainment after all these decades. I just would like it to work a little faster, that's all.

    On to Game 6!
