World Series: Game 5 Thread
I'm gonna make this short and sweet. Phillies have the chance to win it all tonight in front of the home fans, the Rays need a win to send it back to Tampa. Pitching matchups are a rematch of game 1, with Scott Kazmir taking on Cole Hamels. Savor it, it may be the last baseball game of 2008.

I didn't even look to see who the teams were, honest
I voted against it when I saw the players swapped. Manning will outscore Jones and Winslow on a weekly basis by himself. If it were Peterson or even Johnson instead of Jones I probably wouldn’t have voted that way.

I'm starting to think that Pitch Trax thing is hurting the umpires
While the pitches may be borderline, having the commentators question every pitch really hurts the game itself. Plus, we used to never have the pitch trax replay on every single pitch. Just let the umpires call the game and let it go.

I finally caught the Jon Hamm SNL. I can’t believe they actually had Austin Kearns on it. Scrabbles (and everyone not in the intellectual minority), this bit of Mad Men provides a decent amount of background for the SNL sketch.

No series tonight
Try it again tomorro but still will be played in football weather.
35 degrees, torrential rains,gusting winds and pooling water. The ball is wet and the hands are cold…this is a shame. Either shorten the season or go back to some double headers cause these late Oct early Nov games are going to kill the World Series.

I'd say make every team play 10 doubleheaders a year
Start and end the season a week early. It would get rid of a lot of weather-related problems.

Can rain become more wet?

i feel like if i were a player
when games are rained out, i’d rather play a double header, rather than lose an off day. I realize working at a grocery store is nothing like playing baseball, but I’d much rather put in 32 hours over 4 days, rather than 5.
