Rain could wash out Game 3 of World Series
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Ready, set, rainout?
Brad Lidge and almost everyone else in Philadelphia is geared up for the city’s first World Series game in 15 years Saturday night. Trouble is, it might be a washout. According to weather.com on Friday evening, the forecast called for a 70-80 percent chance of rain Saturday afternoon—though it was only about 30 percent by 7 p.m.
Game 3 between the Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays is scheduled to begin at 8:35 p.m. Matt Garza is slated to pitch for the Rays against 45-year-old Jamie Moyer, making his World Series debut. A postponement would push the game back to Sunday.

80% chance this game is rained out IMO. Too bad.
Go Rays!
A little delay would be ok. Give me time to get home from The Palin Rally in Fort Wayne this evening.
Amazing what 7 yrs can do...
Thanks for the link though
I don’t know if my TV will survive another game if the Phillies keep stranding runners in scoring position.
am back—yes, I had to do a very quick trip to Cape Cod to
help out my Dad a bit but I’m back and my TV screen (Fox)
says “rain delay”, as expected....

>>Light Rain in Philly
Rain ending this evening. Partial clearing overnight. Thunder is possible early. Low 47F. Winds WSW at 15 to 25 mph. Rainfall around a half an inch.
Is that clearing to the west? WELL to the west.
Yes its clearing to the west. Local weather is saying the rain is completely out of here around 9:30. The field is sand based, very quick drying, so at this point their thinking that the game is going to be played. We’ll see.
9:30pm, still raining, but they’re starting to work on the field. We’ll see.
they just said first pitch about 10...?
LOLOL
Phils introducing their team in reverse batting order...?
Taylor Swift did a nice rendition of our National Anthem.
Ditto that. Traditional version, but very original with the acoustic guitar.
What was with that funky fish song during the Rays introductions?!?!?
