WS Game 5 v 2.0

I feel robbed. I feel robbed by mother nature for taking what could have been a great series and making it a bummer, no matter which team I was rooting for. I didn't really enjoy begin watching a game one night and have it finish up two days later.
Oh well, there's always next year! I didn't enjoy the bad calls either.

Congrats to the Phillies and all of their fans!

How bout those Phillies!!!

Only fitting for a city so starved for a championship to have to wait an extra couple of days to close the deal.

Congrats!!!

Way to go Charlie............stuck it to the naysayer reporters........

Still proud of Sonny, the Suburban League, and the Flashes

What a night!

So glad they did it at home.

WOOOOO HOOOOOO! PHINALLY!

What a night!! Now I can finally eat dinner without a not in my stomach.
After the intensity of last night maybe all playoff games should be 3 or 4 innings long.

Congrats to the Rays. They have some likable players like Pena, Longoria and especially Baldelli.
Something about him that makes me like him. I hope he gets his career back on track after all his injuries.

Congrats to the Phillies and their phans.

How can Maddon:
1. NOT bring David Price in to start the 7th.
2. NOT have Upton take a pitch or two to allow Crawford to steal 2B.

He was managing it like it was still a 9 inning game in the 2nd or 3rd inning.

Cause Manuel, is the manager for the Phillies

I know what you mean though... Joe Maddon.

Yea..Madden was out of his mind by sitting Price. His best pitcher and he holds him back. Madden must've had 2 days too many to think about it.

JT: I was screaming from California the same thing....Crawford walks, then Upton swings at the first pitch into a weak double play!!! OMG...take a frickin' pitch, SAC Crawford over, let Crawford steal, bunt for a single...anything but a 6-4-3.

Great headline in the local paper Tuesday morning: REIGN DELAY

I'll play the devil's advocate.
Cold weather forces a pitcher to take longer to warm up, the pitcher doesn't go in until he is ready and the bench coach thinks he is ready.

Upton is still young. He knew he messed up afterwards. You could see him point at his head on the way back to the dugout. Should have been given the take sign, IMO, but oh well.

PTAFields: Sorry, that doesn't fly...he is a MLB player...to me it shows disrespect to the game for not knowing the situation.

But how I see this, his ego got in the way....he wanted to hit a two run home run rather than being a team player and helping his team win.
