And has anyone really heard someone brag about losing a bet...brag about losing a bet..that was never ..made??-------------whose outcome is still unknown??

Did I say he makes Dimmy look smard?

He makes Dimmy look like the Noodle of the Year.

I wish Dala DooDah would ignore me like this doorknob does.

I wish SkidsM would select his super bowl teams now.

I would like to see corroboration of my throw outs.

You watch...he will give odds on a sweep for either super bowl team...it don't matter to him.

Did anyone bet on the game either on line or with a bookie? How was it handled? Did they cancel the wager or is it still in play?

This whole series has been bizarre.

You mean like Kazmir getting pinched last night? The bizarre missed call when Longoria tagged Rollins? There are simply a lot of fans that obviously don't mind missed calls. The traditionalists couldn't care less about getting it right.

Well...yeah.
And the fact that the Rays are even here...
The ENTIRE umpiring crew (usually one or two are horrible but an entire crew?).
Game 3
The irony that the new "suspended game rule" was implemented last year.
The weather AND the decision to take action WHEN they did. (If I were Philly, I'd be pissed.)
The 1st WS game to be suspended into another day.
Possibly only the second time to play into November.

My wager is still in play thru a book. Same odds, same everything.

and this series is off the wall crazy. I think it has more to do with the horrendous umps. The Longoria tag is just the tip of the iceberg.

ps...that Fox Trax thing is a joke, a very unfunny joke.

pretty much....but if you saw how they set it up (FOX TRAC)before the game....you may actually believe it. it's pretty accurate. it was explained to me...not that I 100% understood it. the camera angles are a little off from the normal telecasts at Philly and ALOT at the TROP. In fact, the center field angle at the TROP is on the other side of the pitcher.

Like said before. I dont really care about the Longo tag or the play at 1st with Howard/Crawford. It was ALL about Moyer. The strike zone in that game turned the series around.

You have a point, but the RAYS seemed very flat over the weekend. They certainly could be more professional as far as energy level/ concentration goes. Philly has wanted all these games. Rays seemed interested in games 2 and 5. They are gunna have to be more consistent about that. I think you needed this break, because the team was probably gunna lay down again. They better turn into men real quickly.
