Anyone recording the postseason?

by Scottbass on Sep 29, 2006 12:29 AM PDT

Ok, so I play music out in LA and I've got a tour scheduled for, guess what? That's right, October 4-30 (give or take a day or two at the end). Totally bent. I mean, what can you do? I still gotta go, but I'm going to miss pretty much every game. I may be able to catch one or two on an off day, but there aren't many right now anyway. Is there anyone out there that is planning on taping the postseason? If so, I would kill for a copy of the games. I haven't missed any postseason games in...well, maybe ever. Starting with the bleacher seats we had for Game 4 of the '88 ALCS I think I've seen every postseason game.

But now I face the possibility of not just missing a game or two, but the whole freaking postseason. Sure, I'll follow it in the papers of whatever town I'm in at the time, but I'd love to see the games when I get back. I don't mind paying for all the costs (shipping, tapes or dvds, time spent, etc.) given they are resonable. Of course, being that I'm leaving in less than a week and am currently broke as a joke (touring ain't cheap), I'd have to send the money when I get back.

Is there anyone out there kind enough to help out an irritated A's fan? If no one is planning on recording it, don't go to any crazy trouble, I'll live. I also subscribe to MLB.tv and I watched some 2003 playoff games this year (think walk-off bunt), so maybe they'll have them up when I get back, but I don't want to chance it. I mean, missing Z's last win for the A's in the World Series? I'd probably jump off a (very short) bridge.

Anyway, if anyone can help me out email me, or call. I'll put all the info at the bottom. Or, does anyone know if the games will be available on mlb.tv after the postseason is over? Alright, thanks for all the help. Oh, and check out the dates for the tour on my site. Maybe we can get some ANers to the shows. We're just straight up rock. (I hope I'm not breaking any code by pimping myself out. If so, sorry.)

Thanks alot guys. GO A'S!!!!!

thanks for the info

The irony is that last year I didn't join a group because they were going to tour in October and I didn't want to miss the playoffs. Come September I realized my judgment was a little off. Thanks for the support.

I voted for "have head examined"

I will regularly schedule things in my life for every month of the year (around the A's home schedule) EXCEPT October. The only plans I ever make in October is to be at home in Alameda, hoping and praying to drive to the Coliseum for the playoffs.

Have your head examined.

Hard work never hurt anyone, but I'm not taking any chances.

I plan to have it on tape

And may make a digital transfer depending on my motivation (which has been historically near-nonexistant). I will be out of town as well, and during the first year when I have postseason tickets!
