Rain in Philly could alter World Series schedule
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)—Rain in Philadelphia’s forecast this weekend could alter the World Series schedule—and pitching plans for both teams.
Game 3 between the Tampa Bay Rays and Phillies is slated for Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park, but there is a 70 percent chance of rain in Philadelphia that day, according to weather.com.
Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney said if the game is postponed, it would be pushed back to Sunday and the teams would lose a scheduled off day Tuesday between Games 5 and 6, if they’re necessary. Game 4 would be slated for Monday and Game 5 for Tuesday.

Great game last night. That is good baseball as it should be. Good pitching, some hits, some strategy.
I just hope some of you can keep up until the end of the game tonight. Lots of you went to sleep and there were few here.
There is only one difference for the outcome. Home Runs. It showed last night. It still could go either way.
Los Lonely Boys did a nice rendition of the National Anthem.
place holder
Rays take 2-0 lead after 1, ground ball driving in each run
Howard leadoff double
Ha watching baseball without emotions going crazy..
Who are we rooting for again?
oh yeah AL..leave the rays bad blood for next year.

ole Zimmer..I remember after Pedro head chucked Zimmer on the ground they did an interview with Bill the Spaceman and he said something like “I’m proud of Pedro..it is really hard to grab a bowling ball by it’s ears”
Bill Lee called Zimmer “the gerbil”
oopsie—TB has bases loaded 1 out
“strike three...take your base...” ???
Since I’m a long time, die hard Met fan, the Phillies are not for me. NO WAY!
Even growing up a Red Sox fanatic (teen years at the beach with my portable radio on and caught up with Ted Williams and Jim Britt -—— while girlfriends are doing something silly like flirting with the guys), and seeing the Rays overpower the Sox, I still can’t go for the Phillies. Any Met fan would understand.
got greedy sending that second runner but 1 run scored, 3-0 TB
There is a bit of a NY/Phil rivalry I guess (Giants/Eagles,
Mets/Phils etc); I know Fox Sports Radio’s JT The Brick, a huge Yankee fan, is NOT cheering for the Phillies.
Red Sox fans tend to cheer for the Mets because we like it
when we look at the standings and see one NY team is doing
well...and it ISN’T the Yankees (who might not be doing as well, like w/ this yr)
the home plate ump absolutely has no business making that appeal after calling a strikeout. that needs to be looked at and that ump should not work the series again. idiot.
Ya but we still have some residual horror left over from 86 :)
Wow great double play.
You a Met fan? Wow, you never know about your friends dark side.
HeeHee!
And -— I am NOT a Yankee fan. At all! No way!
So -— where that that put me??
