The rain and wind in Philadelphia were enough to cancel game five between the Phillies and Rays.
What intrigues me is how close the Rays came to actually being eliminated and the Phillies, for their part, being crowned champions.
This scenario was avoided courtesy (and a massive controversy for the Deerman Selig) of a Carlos Pena hit and subsequent RBI that tied the game up at two apiece. This happened in the top of the 6th. According to the rules, five innings is an official game.
It’s all for the best. Did Philadelphia really want to win 2-1? The Rays are a quality team and were certainly capable of winning the game outright.
Now they have a chance to do it.
In the meantime, I can just imagine how many plans have been confused and wrecked thanks to this mess.
