Nice to see the Phiilies bats wake up! The announcers couldn't shut up about it, you would have thought the Phils were down 0 to 3 instead of ahead 2 games to 1.

One more win does it!!

Another good reason not to bet on sports. I would have bet the farm on TB.

Spent Saturday Night in the Hall of Fame at Copperstown watching the Series. The Game as you all know was a late start after 10, but the atmosphere is great, (Heck, even Babe Ruth was there) all the hot dogs, chips, soda etc: included in your $5.00 (for members). I've been doing it for 10 years with family members. The staduim Seats are uncomfortable, but beyond that a great evening every year.

Wow, a VERY cool experience! In a beautiful town as well.

I went to a Phils game in the first and second round and it was a blast! We didn't get tickets to the series though. Go Phils! It's cold, windy and there's some rain in the area so it could be a tough night for everyone.

The announcers keep talking about the inconsistant strike zone/blown calls in this series and ive seen many http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif. Makes for a crappy series. I could care less who wins but would like to see a fair/decent called game. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

Ump had a bad angle but that call at 3rd base last night was brutal.

[Donutblue]

That call at third base with Collins diving for the bag was obvious to a blind man - that gloved ball was so far into his butt it looked like a public viewing of a colonoscopy.

Go Phillies!

And the umps and commish let the Rays tie the game in ridiculous conditions last night before suspending the game. They never should have started the game let alone the 5th inning on! It was raining on and off during batting practice and the radar was filling in fast and moving right towards Phila. Now both teams lost their best starters to crap conditions. It should be a 2-1 game stopped after the 4th inning and not a 2-2 tie in the middle of the 6th. Nobody wants to win or lose the World Series on a rain shortened game so I agree with the commish on that one.

At least, nobody wants to LOSE the WS on a rain shortened game. I just heard it's all postponed to Wednesday night now..

It's just a game... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Like watching paint dry fellas. Bud needs to be put out to pasture.

They sure were fun to watch this season! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Three and a half innings last night to end the World Series was bizarre. Major league baseball has to address the issue of the home-plate umpire. He has more power and influence of the game than any other official in any sport. The strike zone is a joke. It's time for balls and strikes to actually BE balls and strikes rather than left to the discretion of a blind man!

Professional tennis has taken a step into the 21st century and now it's baseball's turn!
