Rain Delay?

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

Awful

If I were the kind of guy to make outlandish accusations, I’d suggest that the Vegas bookies – who stand to lose a lot if the Rays prevail – might’ve slipped these ol’ boys a buck or two.

But I’m not the kind of guy to make outlandish accusations.

these are the best umpires MLB can offer?

we have played embarrassingly in our last 16+ innings, but these umpires have been a fucking joke all series long. All of MLB should be embarrassed by their obviously blown missed calls onboth sides.

Can't Really

make the case that it’s going to cost the Rays anything, because they’ve been benificiaries as often as not, but major league baseball should be embarassed at the quality of the umpiring during their pinnacle event.

It’s not a joke, it’s sad.

You can put the game on hold for a while

I agree

But this isn’t like Selig calling off the all-star game for no reason, you can only wait so long for the rain to let up.

The forecast from weather.com, found here, doesn’t show the skies clearing up until tomorrow night.

I believe he was just commenting on the widely held opinion

that baseball indoors in Florida is stupid. “It’s just not real baseball”, as I heard from fans at the Trop throughout the year. I was hoping it would have stormed more than it did during game 2 so they would really appreciate being indoors, but it only rained enough for them to comment that they might get wet after the game.

I don't think Selig and co.

Push this game to a neutral site in order to save a buck. Although I don’t entirely put it past them, they would get a lot of negative press for having a World Series game in Texas or Atlanta. Florida seems like more of a viable option, but it would still essentially be a home game for the Rays.

Play game 6. If the Rays win, play game 7. If the Rays win again, go back to Philly and play the remainder of game 5 for the series.

CHAD BRADFORD

He has extensive playoff experience.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

I was referring to

His tenure in Baltimore.

We finally caught a break

And if we can get this game in tomorrow, Hamels is done for this series, except maybe 2-3 innings out of the pen if it goes 7 games

ESPN says the Rays are searching for hotel rooms

Some Philly skank want to put up E-Lo tonight?

This from Jayson Stark...........

If this game can’t be resumed — and at this point, that’s actually the most likely scenario — it’s expected that it would be scheduled to resume Tuesday night. But MLB’s COO Bob DuPuy told Fox that because the forecast for Tuesday was equally horrendous, it’s possible it might not be possible to finish this game until Wednesday.

Asked what the chances were of finishing the game Monday night, DuPuy replied: “Right now, we’re not optimistic.”

If this situation had arisen in any World Series game before 2007, baseball wouldn’t have had the option to suspend the game. Under the old rules, it would have been declared a tie and started over from the first inning. But a 2007 rule change required that, once games become official, all tie games would be suspended and resumed at a later time from the point at which they’re stopped.

And now for yet another complication: The Rays checked out of their hotel in center-city Philadelphia, in anticipation of flying home after the game — and they can’t get back in, because the hotel is sold out.

They’re scrambling to find rooms — somewhere — as we speak.

Actually, it was 2007.

thank you

I knew it was recently changed, I just don’t understand who did it and why

Tie Baseball games...

after a game is official are suspended , not restarted.

Boom. Outta Here.

by WillisDaddy on Oct 27, 2008 11:31 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's not a special rule for the WS...

it is a rule for all games. The games are suspended if tied after official. Not restarted.

Sherlock.

Boom. Outta Here.

by WillisDaddy on Oct 27, 2008 11:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

No...

because this game wasn’t tied based on the previous rules.

Boom. Outta Here.

Enlighten me old wise one. I assume you are saying that if they were to call the gamewith Philly leading 2-1?

Because the way I see it the score was TIED 2-2 when MLB called the game due to weather (in part because it got them out of a bad situation if they called a shortened WS game). This gets them out of one big pickle.

by TheUltimateBucFan on Oct 27, 2008 11:47 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Okay I will enlighten you...

under the old rules, after the game is official and a game is suspended the “official” score is the score of the last completed whole inning. Therefore, under the previous rules, Phillies win, Rays lose.

Boom. Outta Here.

I get it, but this whole time, I am talking current rules. See my first quote saying who came up with "suspending" a game under these circumstances...

I already knew that in years past they would have called the game. Meaning, I wished they WOULD have started the game over (against any pitcher not named Cole)

by TheUltimateBucFan on Oct 27, 2008 11:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Under the rules where a game would have been restarted...

they would have had to play another half inning.

Your argument is moot,

After all the bullshit

I gotta give it to the MLB

they played through absolute horrendous weather until the Rays tied it so they wouldnt call a deciding game.

by joeybw on Oct 27, 2008 11:26 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

it says 8

I don’t think anyone knows when this game will be played, though.

by joeybw on Oct 27, 2008 11:27 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Whenever the weather permits.

Oh, yeah.

They were already pretty damn low anyways, at least enough for there to be articles about how low the ratings were.

So tomorrow, wednesday, thursday, next month whenever

Price should pitch rest of the game (well if it only goes 9)

Didn't this happened to the Spurs?

They were trying to get out of New Orleans, but their plane wouldn’t take off due to mechanical issues. Because they had already checked out of their hotel, and it was all sold out, they spent the night on the runway.

and how are we not talking about what happened in the game?

Pena had 2 hits and a RBI, Longo got a hit, BJ walks on water, no errors through 5 innings.

I guess that means we can do this shit!

Hopefully

Assuming it goes 7, I see it going like this

Tuesday 10/28 6th inning – whenever
Wednesday 10/29 Game 6 Myers vs Shields
Thursday 10/30 Game 7 Moyer vs Garza….might see Hamels out of the pen for like 2 innings
