Being OCD and a big fan of Monk, this makes me very happy.

I'm also happy because now games will start sooner. Granted, it's just a minute but it's something.

What does this mean for the team financially?

What does this mean for the team financially?$500,000 less a year.

Good thing Andruw Jones is in the best shape he's been in in a decade.

I think it's just me who enjoyed hearing Gene say, "Oh thank heaven, 7:11." :redface:

Now I got to leave the house a minute earlier? What a ****ing gip.

An outrage, isn't it?

I liked it, last game on the 7 o'clock start time of games stuck out.

[Smokey Burg]

Thats it. No more Slurpees for me.

Too funny....hope the 7-11 start time over the last three years didn't drive you to therapy!!!:cool:

It all makes sense now. This is why we can't get a full time DH.

Rumor has it we are in talks with AM/PM on a similar sponsorship. MLB has been reluctant to clear 40 day night double headers though.

Just learned the White Sox lost the 7-Eleven sponsorship. I'm pissed. Was planning on discounted Slurpees all summer.
