You have to love the PHILS!! Tonight I'll be in the city and it's going to be CRAZY!! I cannot wait.

I hope it is isn't over.
Lets see how these young Rays handle the pressure down 3-1.

BTW, didn't that umpire see half that glove disappear up the guys behind and yet called him safe?

There have been a number of questionable calls, but at least they have gone both ways. In addition to the close call at second there was the is it a balk/isn't it a balk.
Going the other way - Burrell getting called out looking on a ball that almost took his head off and Rollings getting hit but not getting a base, the checked swing that the HB ump called but the first base ump didn't...

The craziest thing has been the size of the strike zone and that has definitly been going both ways.

2-2 in the bottom of the 6th when the umps finally smartened up and stopped the game due to rain. Game 5 resumes Tuesday night weather permitting.

From where I'm sitting it's not looking to promising that the weather is going to permit.

At least Hamels is done.

Any weather update in Philly?
AS of this afternoon?

Fox Sports is reporting that it will be delayed until Wednesday.

I kinda think Philly got jobbed on the deal...

Weather update in Philly is it's Raining! Actually snowing here! Craziest thing I have seen in this area in years. Tonight's game will not be played in my opinion. It's 39 degress, with wind chill in the high 20's, and it's been raining/snowing all day long. The game will be played perhaps Wed. or Thurs., but who knows since baseball just makes it up as they go anyways as you saw last night.

As a Phillies fan, that game was the most emotional and difficult to watch.
