Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan has two words for those on the West Coast who are complaining about baseball’s new start time -- 4:47 p.m. (PDT) for World Series and American League championship series games.

Boo hoo.

‘Pardon me while I wipe away the tears,’’ Ryan writes.

‘The effrontery, the brazenness, the absolute gall of someone in PDT whining about the potential viewing hardship of a late-afternoon start is beneath contempt. Those people have been living charmed sports viewing lives for their entire existences. It’s time we EDT/ESTers got a break.

‘Here’s the real, actual, irrefutable honest-to-God truth of the matter: For decades upon decades, people from the East Coast have made all the viewing sacrifices. Those West Coast dilettantes haven’t been asked to make any.’
