McAllister has been in Florida, ahead of the team for two days now, the game yesterday started at 1:07, was completed in a crisp 2:47 so end of game was 3:54pm.
That Thurgood character says it takes 4 hours to clear customs, what a joke, when the team gets to the airport, they show passports, then they get ushered to the plane, 30 mins (if that, max) the game ends before 4, they are out of the stadium at 5, plane leaves at 6pm or so, takes 3 hours max, more like 2:50 with a tail wind to fly down the Atlantic coast from Toronto to Tampa, land at 9pm at the latest, in the hotel by 10pm, even if you go to the lounge, kick back with 2 beers, you are in the bed by midnight, sleep like a baby until 8am, get up fresh as a daisy for the night game.
Now, if you have to fly Seattle to Boston after an 13 inning game and leave at midnight, and have to play a day/night double dip starting at 1pm, then you can factor in travel, but for tonight's game, the percentage of travel that gets factored into 'capping tonight's game is, I don't know, somewhere between 0 and 1 percent.
