Friday

Friday could tell us a little about the Bucco skipper search, since it's the travel day for the Series, and teams traditionally don't do anything during WS game days that would deflect attention from the October Classic.

They could bring in Tony Pena then, though we think that's unlikely; he would have been interviewed at the start of the week if he was being considered. The FO could announce that one of the three remaining candidates, most likely Jeff Banister, is the new bossman.

Or they could sit on their hands, telling us that they're waiting on a series coach to free up, like the Rangers' Clint Hurdle or Giants' bench coach Ron Wotus.
