Game on?

We fully expected to see Pat Burrell and his bulldog Elivs taking a victory lap last night. We may have been over-confident in the Phils chances to wrap it up, but we acknowledged there was the tiniest chance the Rays would somehow bring the series back to Tampa.

To paraphrase another rain-soaked fan in the concourse after the suspension was officially announced: We did not think we would leave a World Series game without knowing who won.

We stuck it out and understand weather throws life some curve balls. But the game should have been called before the Rays tied it up on a mess of a field. That's unfair.

But we'll get them tonight. Or tomorrow. Or whenever this weather breaks.

Christine thinks all the rain we've experienced at the park this year is because I angered the baseball gods by saying we never leave games early. I think last night happened because I kept saying things were falling into place way too easily for the Phillies this postseason.

More details on the first half of our experience at Game 5 to come later. But posting, and thus our normal routines, will be as up in the air as the schedule for the rest of the series.
