The Red Sox are in Chicago this weekend, and today someone asked me why the games are starting at the seemingly random time 8:11pm. Well, in the Central time zone those games are starting at 7:11, which might remind you of a certain convenience store chain. Yup,
7-11 paid the White Sox $500,000 to start their games 6 minutes later than usual.
I wonder how I can get in on some of that action...
