Why did anyone think our World Series victory would come without a few strange events along the way?

And is the game definitely done for the night?

Jay Jaffe (8:04:17 PM PT): Steve, please tell me you're kidding with your naivete.

They've got toa finish Game Five before they play Game Six, come hell or high water. Just because Games Six and Seven are scheduled for the Juice Box doesn't mean they can't be postponed due to weather (i.e., pushed back a day) if they can't get the conclusion of Game 5 in on schedule.

This is as embarrassingly concocted a conspiracy to extend the series as has ever been seen. This time the crooks aren't the ones on the field, it's the criminals put in charge of the game.

100% agree. Obviously, they had to extend their storylines for the year: the long suffering Phillies fans, and the Rays Cinderella season.

The travel day would get eated, Game 7 would have to be Friday I would think.

This totally frosts me too, even though I know there was no way it was going to happen. It was a beautiful afternoon and evening. Hell, no one is watching anyway.

There's no way in hell they play tonight or tomorrow. This game resumes Thursday at the earliest.

In my effort to stay awake, I have decided to listen to WIP. Should keep the blood nicely simmering.

MLB just stole our our World Championship says Jim Jackson

I'm sick to my stomach

by **TenuredVulture** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 22:58:27

The sensible thing would have been to push the start time to 7 or even 6. At the very least, actually start at 8, not 8:45.
