Not sure if they will do this again but they weren't letting anyone in McFadden's without a ticket to the game. |

Don't know about Czaban. I tend to listen to Patrick for the 20 minutes in the morning when I'm on the way to work and I'm good with his show, most of the time. The one thing that drives me nuts is that every sports talk show nowadays seems to think they need to comment on the world outside of sports. I don't need to know what happened on 24 last night, something you saw on youtube, or the all-but-2-paragraphs-of-his-column where Bill Simmons talks about crap that isn't sports. I'm kindof a purist like that- I don't want a random long sex scene interrupting my gratuitously violent action movies and I don't need nonsense pop culture when listening to sports talk I'll have to check out a few others of those online if I can.

I agree with the non sports stuff.
My wife and I tape Dancing with the Stars every weak and I was waiting to watch the results show from the night before while watching PTI and from out of no where Tony Kornhole blurts out who got voted off and I was like, WTF?? |

I was just thinking...this might have been the best sporting weekend for me for a long time...
Friday - Flyers win, Saturday - Flyers win, Phillies win, Penn State wins Sunday - Eagles win, Phillies win Conversely....Pitt lost...Pens lost...and Steelers lost.. Very nice! I like! |

A very sick part of me wants to see the World Series end with an umpire waving off a game in the sixth-inning at 3 a.m.

This goes further than just this game and it extends to listening him call Eagles game. Sometimes you don't get calls...I didn't hear Buck defending the Phillies when the umps blew that call on Moyers bunt or when JRoll got hit. |

I understand sometimes you dont get the call, but I can count 4 pitches that all were strikes and they were all called balls.

And you don't think that there were 4 pitches throughout this series that weren't called correctly for the Phillies? Or balls that were called strikes? In game 2 when Tampa threw that side arm pitcher...the umps were calling strikes a foot outside the plate. Im not saying you are incorrect, but it isnt one sided.

I'm sure there were, but when it is the same pitcher in the span of 4 innings that pitcher is getting pintched IMO.
We can agree to disagree on this. IT really doesnt matter as long as the Rays keep hitting into double plays |

Still hard to win when you have to throw 5 strikes in the rain to get an out.

I have a bad feeling all these runners left on base are going to come back to bite the Phils.

Have you been watching the series? There has been lousy home plate umpiring this series. 4 blown calls is a low number for them this series. |

Let's see how the strike zone is this half inning. Typically, when conditions get bad, umps widen out the strike zone in an effort to speed things up. The exact opposite has happened tonight.

For the fox tracker...is it where it crosses the plate or where the catcher catches it?

Yes, Buck, Maddon should go complain about the field since he's behind...

I'm confused...I thought I heard Buck say that if the game is called, they start over. Then I hear him say it's an official game. But then I hear him say Maddon should go complain...
So what happens if the game is called? Just start where they left off tomorrow? |

I think Hammels is waiting for the home plate up to call one of those throws over to first a strike.

It follows the same rules as the regular season...so as of now it is an "official" game. |

Ya, I was wondering what the hell he was talking about... Sorry if this was covered here on during the game - but do the umpires/mlb have any discretion to suspend the game or would the game being called automatically give the Phils the series? Tough spot. I guess they could hang out there until tomorrow. |

Honestly, I wonder if baseball is hoping the Rays can tie it so they can go ahead and then put in a rain delay rather than calling the deciding game of the World Series based on rain
