Well the world series was rained out last night middle of the 6th due to heavy rain. Will resume today, maybe tomorrow (Wednesday)
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies came to the ballpark Monday thinking they were about to hand the World Series over to Mr. October,
Cole Hamels.
Little did they know they were about to hand it over to Bud Selig's favorite Doppler 10,000. Whatever happens now, this World Series is never going to be the same. You understand that, right?
It's no longer going to be known for Carlos Ruiz's 2 a.m. walk-off squibber, or Joe Blanton's Babe Ruth impression, or Cliff Floyd's mad dash home on the most improbable squeeze bunt of modern times. Nope. This one is now going down in a whole different chapter of World Series lore.
Weather lore.
We can figure out exactly where it fits into the grand history of baseball meteorology after it's all over. But in the meantime, all we know is this: One of these days, one of these weeks, one of these months, whenever the commissioner decides to lift the first suspended game in the history of postseason baseball, the Phillies, the Rays and the rest of humanity are going to find Game 5 of this World Series, in theory, exactly where they left it. Halfway through the sixth. Tie game, 2-2.
The Phillies still lead the Series 3-1. So they remain, again in theory, precisely where they were Sunday night -- one win away from the second World Series championship in franchise history.
Yeah, it's all exactly the same, all right. Except nothing is the same. A mere one day ago, the Phillies had this Series set up with their ultimate dream scenario -- one win away, their most dominating starter lined up to pitch it. Now, one soggy, half-baked, suspended-animation debacle later, they've essentially wasted a Cole Hamels start.
