I’m not from the east coast and I’m no eye-tie.......

But, I do know that it’s Mario Lanza...

It’s a cold damp windy night here in the Philly metro area.
The weather could play a big role in the game.
LETS GO PHILS!
WRAP THIS UP TONITE!
WIN THE TITLE!

John Oates (Hall & Oates) singing the Anthem.

Tolerable, but still too much ego for my taste.

This thing will be rained out. They need 4 1/2 innings in. At almost 4 now. I predict it will be halted at the end of 4. We will see.

Ya gotta figure tho that with the Series on the line AND being in Philly, the umps are gonna have to consider where the exits are before they'd call this one.

It would be nice if they wrap up so 0bama doesn’t get the automatic audience for his half hour dis-infomercial.

I don't have a dog in the fight as far as the baseball teams go.

Would it be better if 0bama was denied the automatic audience of a Game 6, or would it be better if there was a Game 6 and 0bama annoyed baseball fans waiting for the game to start?

I for the Phillies but I want it to go to Game 6..... it MUST go to Game 6.....

.... so that tens of millions of sports fans can know that the Obamanation forced OUR World Series game to start late on Wed. night!!!!

I mean, c’mon the ego of the guy, to think that anything he has to say about the economy, hope & change, world peace, etc. could possibly be as important as Game 6 of the World Series!!!

Would they replay the game tomorrow afternoon? (can't interfere with Obambi’s prime time tomorrow night). Then, if the Philly wins, the riots can start early... just like next week.

Wasn’t that horrible?!? I immediately hit the ‘mute’ button when the screeching and wailing began to hurt my ears.

"The weather could play a big role in the game."

The rain is coming down real good now. Holly buckets, they are letting them play in this crap.

Rollins lost a pop up in the rain.
This is fixed for the Phillies.
Letting them pay in this is not right.

Who was it?

I’ll be tuning in for the 7th inning stretch.....

I really does but I don’t wan’t Obama getting any larger of an audience because of it. BTW I don’t have a team in this but the pitcher from Murfreesboro for the Rays has been exciting for the local community.

Can you believe they are playing in this crap?

30 more minutes and the infield will be under water.

The umpire is calling this game like his family is being held hostage. I have never seen so many bad calls.
