and fewer umpire questions. Kazmir taken out for two walks that shou\ld have been strikeouts. Assuming Rays lose this game, there will be justifiably bitter Rays fans.
It’s not right that an entire baseball season ends on a game like this one.
So while I am pulling for the Phillies to win the Series, I hope the Rays come back to win this game.
And now for yet another complication: The Rays checked out of their hotel in center-city Philadelphia, in anticipation of flying home after the game — and they can’t get back in, because the hotel is sold out.
They’re scrambling to find rooms — somewhere — as we speak.
Reading the Jayson Stark article which you linked...
I am surprised that the World Series has never had a final game which ended as a rain shortened decision. Over that long period of time, hard to believe that there never have been weather conditions which caused such an outcome.
1st Game of the post season I will have watched
Phillies already out with a 2-0 lead
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
that's an omen of something
I just don’t know what
ol Pete - October 27, 2008
ugly conditions to be playing a game
mokulen - October 27, 2008
ump not helping matters with his tiny strikezone
mokulen - October 27, 2008
yea
1st inning, Kazmir was SO close to throwing multiple strikes in the 1st inning, but they were all called balls.
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
popups are big adventures!
Reminds me of those WS games in Chicago!
mokulen - October 27, 2008
Terrible weather
would be nice if the final game of the season was played in nice weather
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
I agree

Ridiculous conditions!
The broadcasters said if they delay the game, and they can’t resume it for whatever reason, the game might be called! :D
mokulen - October 27, 2008
That would cause outrage
all over baseball (except for in Philly)
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
Tied game
Upton looked slow as hell rounding 3rd! Crazy!
mokulen - October 27, 2008
Yea, he was definitely running carefully
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
GET A ROOF!
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
Tarps are out
RAIN DELAY!
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
Finally, a rain delay!
Duh!
mokulen - October 27, 2008
Dupuy says he won't call the game
but they might delay it and finish it tomorrow
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
bah, that means nothing
I forgot the score was tied
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
but they say it will be worse tomorrow! :O
mokulen - October 27, 2008
Weather is beautiful in Houston :)
Stros Bro - October 27, 2008
Move the game to Milwaukee
I say
Joe in Birmingham - October 27, 2008
Game suspended
And will resume tomorrow. LOL just read this:

That’s a lot of rooms to find!
