World Series delayed another day...

It seems as though Major League baseball doesn't want another fiasco like last night as they have decided to delay the finish of game 5 of the World Series until Wednesday night. I believe that is the right move, finally. I know I need some rest after the last few nights of watching the Phils play late into the night and sometimes early in the morning. If my out of shape ass needs rest just from drinking beer and cheering on my team, then I can only imagine how tired the players from each team have to be.

So the major question is this, What team is going to benefit from this layoff? I honestly don't know...I have never seen a game be delayed two days with nothing in between. On the one hand you have the Phillies, who, without a doubt, had the momentum going into game 5. After this layoff is that momentum still there? The Rays have nothing to lose...they must win this game to get the series back to that wiffle ball park they call a stadium. (Seriously, what is up with the rules for the catwalks? I know their team hasn't been any good but come on...you have to do better than this with regards to a real stadium) The meat of their lineup just started hitting again, allbeit in a monsoon, but that had to give them some sort of confidence for their next plate appearance. The Phillies only have to score one run and get nine players out but the Rays have to score one run and get 12 players out.

So I am interested to see how this game will play out. I have had the day to cool off from being completely aggravated from last night and I now realize that the past is the past and the Phils still hold a 3-1 lead in the World Series. Philly is only nine outs and one run away from finally grabbing a world championship. All I really know is that the champagne will still taste just as sweet on Wednesday as it would have last night.

Just my humble opinion...
