It's a good thing the field conditions took away Upton's speed, Mr. Buck.

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

But I would think Cole woudl still be available.

Yeah prolly. Only 75 pitches from Cole.

...and a broken finger.

And a 25 man roster all suffering from perforated colons.

10:52 p.m. ET
The run the Rays scored in the sixth inning (after they had two outs and nobody on) might have saved Major League Baseball from one of its all-time October embarrassments.

Because that run tied the game, the rules now permit the game to be stopped, suspended and resumed when the skies clear -- whatever day, week or month that is.

But had the Phillies held onto the lead and the game then was stopped, the rules wouldn't have allowed a suspension. So baseball might have been faced with having the World Series end with the first rain-shortened game in Series history.

So talk about your clutch hits. When Carlos Pena lined that RBI single, the Rays might have been down to their final strike of the season -- in the sixth inning.

Am I allowed to post in the game thread now? If I had been comissioner, everything would have been fine, because there would have been NO WAY IN HELL this game would have been permitted to start tonight.

if we finish this game tomorrow or even thursday... let's go ahead and make this the longest strangest game thread of all time.

by **Wizlah** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 23:03:41

Screw it, we'll win. They can throw the kitchen sink at this team, we'd still battle through.

Fucking bitchey rays - doubtless if they lose, they'll say they were horribley unlucky.

If Bob Dufay's home isn't aflame as we speak then I've lost faith in humanity

Yeah Jayson Taintface, but it's all academic 'cause they never would have suspended the game UNLESS it were tied.

So has the captain turned off the "no blackouts" sign"? Because I'd like to drink myself silly watching the end of this football game and curse MLB for the rest of the night.

I've never wanted to ban someone more just because more in my entire life.

i keep going outside, hoping, praying that the rain is lighter or even gone. but it's the same as it ever was. (same as it ever was)
