The World Series should be renamed the Wild and Wet Series...and I don't mean that in a good way....what happened last night in Philly was a disgrace. Commissioner Bud Selig should have suspended the game way before he did, and I'm not just saying that because the Phils had the lead earlier in the game.
The conditions on the field were, in a word, deplorable. What would normally have been an easy pop up out for Jimmy Rollins ended up putting a man on base. And it just went downhill from there...play was mercifully stopped as the top of the 6th inning drew to a close...but not until the Rays tied it up at 2-2.
Right now, the Phils should have a 2-1 lead in Game 5...but they don't...and with high winds and heavy rain/wet snow forecasted for tonight in the Philadelphia metro area, die hard fans are left to wonder if we will be able to finally shake off that monkey...and win a title Wednesday.
