MLB got soooo lucky that Tampa scored before they delayed the game. How bad would it have been to have the world Series decided on a rain shortened game? Or wait till 4 am to get the rest in?

Everyone gets lucky. They should have moved the game up to 4PM. Sorry FOX but the game is more important. FOX could have shown a replay of the game at 8PM.
What a horrible umpiring crew. Embarrassing. The turface should have come out in the 3rd inning.

There were pools of water on the infield. The game should have been delayed a long time ago.

First time ever a WS game has been suspended.
Yes....the game should have been delayed long ago. The turface is good but not great over a long period of time.

The party that I was at was in an uproar due to this. Of course, I had to be the drunken a$$hole to bring it to everyone's attention. Sometimes I wonder if these people even watch the game. There's watching the game, and there's WATCHING the game. I do the latter, and was in the minority tonight, which plays a BIG role why I enjoy WATCHING it with my old man.

My brother Danny was sending me picture messages of himself getting into the game free with his old yellow Aramark jersey, posing as a vendor. Who had the last laugh on that one?

As soon as I saw them throw Selig's half lifeless body to a podium, I knew it was kapoots. Looks like wednesday will be when it resumes. I wonder who they trot to the mound to start it off.

Phils better not let Tampa get back to their place to play a meaningful game as the longer they hang around the more dangerous they are.....hitting may be scarce for both teams given the time away......I'm rooting for the Massachusetts kids the Rays have especially Rocco as I think his career has been ruined by whatever illness it is he really has here!! Very very strange what happened to him this year......good luck Rays fans!!

Tim just said in the late innings its better if the pitchers let the batters hit HR's to the opposite field.

Both of these UPTON brothers are stupid. I saw the one playing in Arizona make key mistakes, and generally be dumb as a cow. I challenge any manager to get them to stop acting pseudo-retarded. They have power, but I have seen both put a knife in the back of their own team.

I just don't understand how he doesn't take a strike there. It's not like he's has been locked in this whole series. It's fundamental baseball, a thing that they teach you in little leauge.

The Rays didn't start taking the first pitch until game 5. Both big hits by Pena and Longo came after taking first pitch strikes. No patience.

Seems like he has attitude issues. Can't have his brain just turn off like that. Look at R Howard. He was struggling early, but hung in there until he started seeing the ball better. Not only that, but he has to put up with having that nose that is like the back of a Batmobile.
