It's snowing like crazy in Burlington right now.

Know what sucks? This game is probably going to be ratings gold for MLB. Casual fans will be brought in because it's so odd. Plus, the game will probably be completed in about an hour, so ninnies who complain about how long and boring baseball is will tune in.

Now they're saying there could even be a travel day Thursday.

Rays to be staked to a 6-2 lead, as the game was suspended in the 6th inning.

Game time: 8:37
Woody has class until: 8:45 (a class he literally can't miss except for birth or death and will receive the grade of "F" if he does)
Time Woody will kill himself: ?

I need another day to get my head straight; maybe the Phils do, too.

I imagine driving down 95 in the morning would be suicide.

I'm glad it was cancelled, no way did I want to drive up today not knowing if the game would be played. Much rather head back up tomorrow.

this whole mess is just torture

If we don't win tomorrow, the best day of my life will be in freaking Pittsburgh.

Somewhat considering bagging this semester of grad school to stay home.

I'm happy. I had my gov class cancelled yesterday and Wednesday, even though it means I don't have to be up until 9:25 tomorrow morning, I wasn't about to want to stay up till 1:30 or 2:00 this morning. Definitive word=good. This is good. Get 'em tomorrow. Plus now I can relax and watch the Flyers and do some actual work without having radars and weather pages stuck up on my computer till 8:00. I assume the 8:37 start time tomorrow means Obama ad pre-game?

It's no longer merely about winning a world series - it's about reinventing the game itself

is it bad to root for a loss in game 5 so i can actually watch them win in game 6 or 7?
