Much the same boat here; I started a new job this past Spring and have all my tiny "new employee" allotted vacation time booked up. I'm pretty much known as "The Brewers Fan" here (in fact it was how my new boss introduced me at a local industry event) so faking illness is out of the question. I'm just going to take a long lunch tomorrow starting at 1 PST...I'd rather see the end of the game than the start, especially since the game is in Philadelphia. Thursday I luck out with the later start time and will skip lunch and just leave at 4 PST, so I can watch the last couple hours again. I can get by following online before then--no choice, really. If there's any highlight I really want to see I can catch it online later. Not ideal but what I've got to do. Since they'll be in Milwaukee, I'm really glad Games 3 and 4 are during the weekend so I can see them in their entirety, player introductions, et cetera.
