Here's your Phillies NLCS schedule

Here’s a tip for Phillies fans: Sleep now.

The times have now been set for the Phils NLCS against the Dodgers that kicks off Thursday night at Citizens Bank Park. We’re going to be burning the midnight oil.

We get exactly one afternoon game. That will come late Friday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. Every other game is scheduled to have the first pitch at 8:22 p.m., regardless of whether it is in Philadelphia or L.A.

Sunday we actually get something of a double-header, with the Eagles playing in San Francisco at 4:15, followed by the Phillies and Dodgers in L.A. at 8:22.

Here’s how the schedule breaks down:

Game 1, Thursday, Citizens Bank Park: 8:22 p.m.
Game 2, Friday, Citizens Bank Park: 4:35 p.m.
Game 3, Sunday, Dodger Stadium: 8:22 p.m.
Game 4, Monday, Dodger Stadium: 8:22 p.m.
Game 5, Wednesday Oct. 15, Dodger Stadium: 8:22 p.m. *
Game 6, Friday Oct. 17, Citizens Bank Park: 8:22 p.m. *
Game 7, Saturday Oct. 18, Citizens Bank Park: 8:22 p.m. *

* If necessary.

All games will be broadcast on Fox-29.

Get your beauty sleep now. The way these games run, they should be ending somewhere between 11:30 and midnight.

It could be worse. You could work for a newspaper. Our nightly deadline is 11:40. We’ll be pushing that one most nights.
