I HATE the (stereotypical) Philly fan.

e.g. Throwing mustard packs at Madden's 7 year old granddaughter? :disgust:

I'm not the one who threw mustard at a little girl...

I do agree with you on Bud though... this is awful.

Hmmm, looks like they're gonna call it. It's almost 11 in Philly, no way they're gonna continue the game after midnight.

don't be sure. they did play past midnight on saturday night. I know, I was there at the game. pics of the game are in my smugmug.

Dude, you spelled "Prague" wrong.

True, I should have spelled it Praha, but alas.

We may never know.

We just cower under his angry gaze, hoping not to be crushed yet again.

Agreed. Good late save for MLB.

The Phillies journey to the title is predictably Odyssian. You couldn't make this stuff up and keep a straight face if you tried.

Anyone remember the Eagles Fog Bowl against Chicago?

Near Greek tragedy writ large, time and time and time again.

'Tis the fate of the Philly fan.

Nothing is up my ass. evident is having a hissy fit and acting like the World Series is being stolen from the Phillies because of one run and a half inning. It's not as if the poor conditions didn't affect the batters and runners. The Rays spent an extra half inning in shitty conditions on offense, and the Phillies spent an extra half inning in shitty conditions on defense. No big deal.

 

[akshatp]

So how will this work? There was no scheduled game for tomorrow in Philly, thus no game tickets sold. Will the people who were there tonight be allowed to re-enter for the conclusion of the game tomorrow? Do they have to pay for parking again? Logistically, this sucks!!

if i was playing baseball, i would take a shitty weather AT BAT then pitching. shitty weather = advantage to batters. they shoulda called the game earlier

 

[akshatp]

The delay, however, forced the Rays to find a hotel in Wilmington, Del., about 25 miles away.

Hotels in Philly too expensive? WTF why did they go to a different state? 25 miles away? I know there are hotels in the Philadelphia area that are much closer!!!!!

 

[akshatp]

Terrible job by MLB. Im trying to find out what the situation is for ticket holders from tonights game, and I cant find it anywhere on phillies.com or mlb.com

I dont personally have tickets, but I am curious to see how they are handling this.

If I were a ticket holder from the suspended game and wanted to know what was up, I would be VERY pissed off.

It can be hard to make on the fly reservations for 30 plus at 11:00pm that same night.

Just saying.

I understand that, but getting 15 or so rooms in Philly last minute for a MLB team cannot be THAT difficult.

either that or they should've stopped play after the 6th. i don't understand why they didn't allow the phillies to finish out the 6th in the same wet conditions.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Who agrees with me that this is some of the worst umpiring ever in a postseason game? Not only are the strike zones totally crazy, but they're inconsistent and have been obviously favoring the Phillies (this game at least).

I'm not a fan of either team so I'd be just as pissed if they were favoring the Rays.

No, a wet bat is much more difficult as the ball would have to be hit almost flush, anything else will just cause meek popups and slow grounders. Also trying hit a 94MPH fastball is challenging in good weather, with rain pelting you face (and eyes), good luck..

From ESPN:

f Pena had not tied it, Selig said he would not have let the Phillies win with a game that was called after six innings.

"It's not a way to end a World Series," he said. "I would not have allowed a World Series to end this way."

I agree. This WS would've had an asterisk next to it if it had been called.
