Just read that even if the Rays hadn't tied it, Selig wouldn't let the World Series end... PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Game 5 of the World Series was suspended because of rain in the sixth inning Monday night with the Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays tied at 2 and the field already a sloppy, soggy mess. “I can’t tell you tonight when we’ll resume,” commissioner Bud Selig said. “We’ll stay here if we have to celebrate Thanksgiving here.” It might be a day or two, at least, before the Phillies get a chance to wrap up their first championship since 1980. Philadelphia leads three games to one. There has never been a rain-shortened game in Series history. Whenever this one resumes, it will pick up right where it left off, with the Phils about to bat in the bottom of the sixth. “The weather tomorrow is supposed to be worse,” said Bob DuPuy, MLB’s chief operating officer. Carlos Pena hit a tying, two-out single in the sixth for the Rays, and the umpires called it moments later. By then, every ball and every pitch had become an adventure because of the miserable conditions. If Pena had not tied it, Selig said he would not have let the Phillies win with a game that was called after six innings. “It’s not a way to end a World Series,” he said. “I would not have allowed a World Series to end this way.” Tuesday was supposed to be a travel day, if necessary. Instead, the teams will stay in Philadelphia and then head back to Tropicana Field if the Rays win. Good for him. It would be an embarrassment to Major League Baseball and also, I don't think the Phillie's would want it to end that way. There would always be the question whether or not they really were the best team in 2008.
