Is there a real need for you to know them immediately?

http://pressbox.MLB.com will have the WS Media Guide as soon as possible.

Customer Service has been notified about the error message that presently exists.

If it is like last year, MLB will announce today,

MLB notifies the umpires of their WS selections the day after the end of the Division Series. So, if someone has a MLBU as a personal friend they probably already know who the selections are. I would imagine if they are smart, they will not tell, since it would be very easy for a MLBU to lurk on this site as well and one may not be very happy if a friend tells the selections on a this site, especially if it was told in confidence.

Selections are based on merit. However, on the historical side, Dana DeMuth has gone the longest of the Crew Chiefs in the Division Series since his last WS in 2001. Tim Tschida last worked 2002. Tom Hallion has the most experience of the Division Series non crew chiefs not to have worked a WS and he had the LCS last year. Jim Joyce has not worked a WS since 2001.

Oh well, look on the MLB website today and they should tell all.

All I know is that I did not get the call this year! Maybe Tim C. or SDS got a call!

Lord knows, I realize how many of you out there will not be able to function until the list comes out! :rolleyes:

That is not a completely accurate statement.

I politely declined, Tim, and suggested they contact you. Obviously they're taking their own sweet time. :D

If BaBa is correct, that's cool. Danley and Kellogg were both in my Wendlestedt class - I sat right next to Kellogg and he was VERY good fresh out of school. Nice guy, too.
