If the ****ing Royals are the reason that tailgating gets shortened for the first MNF game at Arrowhead in over a half-decade, then **** them right in the ****ing ear.
Moving the game to noon is a potential problem as it is, an extra inning game causes all sorts of headaches.
Move the game to the open date on Thursday, make it a day game, and don't sweat it.
The Royals are playing Cleveland at home over the weekend, so it doesn't affect them.
The A's would get a day off after traveling in from Oakland after a Sunday afternoon start(and lose two hours in the process traveling) and would only have to travel to Minnesota after the game on Thursday night for a Friday night game. Instead, they'll have a home game Sunday that starts at 3:00pm KC time - will last until 6:00pm KC time - maybe if they are lucky, they get to the charter by 8:00PM KC time - then have a 4 hour flight that gets them into town around midnight, and maybe in bed by 1:00am. Then get to play a day game after traveling two time zones. I'd be pitching a bitch if I were Oakland.
Of course, that's WAY too easy of a solution.
Let's do it the way that has the potential for absolute ****ing disaster.
