Question
If deadline is tomorrow, and one of the questions concerns the TEX-LAA series (which started 5 minutes ago), shouldn't the deadline have been, well, 5 minutes ago?

LOL.
That completly slipped my mind.  Usually when I ask questions regarding divisional opponents, their series starts the same day as the A's next series... Anyway, it's no big deal.  The deadline remains the same.  Thanks for bringing that to my attention though.  I'll be more careful next time.  ;)
