Marc S.how much worse the bugs looked in High Definition.
That said -- I remember April as being particularly cold for quite a few teams....and definitely certain team's April performance impacted their ability to make it to the postseason (or not). As such -- outside conditions will always affect the game. Whether it is the postseason, the games leading up to the postseason, or something else... you can't cherry pick which issues are suddenly important and which ones aren't.
I'm a die hard Phillies phan, and think it is ridiculous for any team to play a baseball game at Citizens Bank at 3 p.m., given the shadows. But that is how TV runs the postseason schedule -- and it just needs to be dealt with. Que sera sera.
