Sucks to be these guys. What’s worse than being cold? Being wet and cold. I read one great description of the conditions. “It was like standing in your freezer while someone sprays you with a garden hose.” Lovely. Florida fans are cold just thinking about it. This is the first time watching a game that I actually wanted a cup of coffee instead of a cold beverage.
I’m sure that Citizens Bank Park is perfectly lovely in the summer months, but in October it has been miserable. Fly those diehard fans down to Clearwater and they can finish the game at Brighthouse Field where the Phillies do their spring training.
After fighting the elements the Rays were able to hang in there. Now they get to wait for less crappy weather, and when the time arrives they have to be ready to finish the sprint to nine innings. I hope David Price gets the baton first.
C’mon boys. You can do it. Keep that dream alive. Go Rays!!
Judging from the current weather conditions, spring training might be the next available day.
The Commissioner is a joke, and he has made the World Series a bigger joke. The same people who so accurately predicted the end of Saturday’s rain are the ones who thought it would be a good idea to start the game on Monday night.
That’s what happens when a sport turns its game over to television.
As it turns out, Upton’s mad dash wasn’t necessary. The Commissioner was going to suspend the game even if it was 10 to nothing. It’s nice to know that not only does baseball have two leagues that play by different rules, but those different rules also extend into the post season.
Now, we’ll wait until at least Wednesday for the anti-climax.
The general feeling around here is that all the Phillies have to do is show up at the ballpark and plan the victory parade.
They’re figuring that the extra at-bat and more mature pitching staff guarantees victory.
I’m not so sure.
The score is tied and it’s as cold as Hell here.
