The team’s first two ALDS games against the Texas Rangers will take place on Thursday and Friday in Toronto with Game 1 starting at either 3:37 p.m. or 4:07 p.m. ET and Game 2 getting an even earlier start at 12:45 p.m.

While Dickey may have some trouble getting the entire nation the day off from work, he can be sure that there will be a significant drop in productivity in Canada at the end of the week.
