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

Josh (Toledo, OH): Carlos Pena saved the Rays big time by driving in the tying run. Had he not done that and the game got called, then the Phillies would be world champs right now.
ROB NEYER: I wonder if we'll ever know, Josh. It sure felt like the game wasn't going to be stopped before the Rays scored or it went nine innings. But maybe the field really would have been completely unplayable before either of those things happened.

Why? I said it, everyone dumped on me and dumped on me and dumped on me, and now it happened. And it's not like I was taking a shot in the dark. EVERYONE had access to the same weather report I did. It's BULL-$#@! that this game was started. BULL-$#@!.
If you want to ban me, so be it.

Derek Jacques (8:17:12 PM PT): As you might guess, the timing of the move to delay the game is very popular with many of you playing along at home (presented without comment):
"James (Boston): So now that Maddon stalled and kept it going just long enough for his team to tie it, we can call the game, right? Game 5 redux at the Trop."
"Lemmiwinks531 (Wilmington, MA): If this game gets postponed now. It is BLATANTLY unfair practice. This game should've been delayed after the 4th or 5th."
"Tim (NJ): How pathetic is this? Possible deciding game of the WS, and the whole story is the crappy umpiring and the lack of a much-needed rain delay? I feel bad for the Phillies' fans, and I say that rooting for the Rays."
"James (Philly): That was really fair to the Phillies. What a joke."
"tirk44 (warm at home): As a Phillies fan I'm a bit offended. The conditions are no worse now than 2 innings ago. Let's wait until it gets tied up and THEN put the rain delay on. Philly has been waiting 25 years so another few hours or a day would be no big deal."

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.
