Game 5 of the WS isn't being resumed until tomorrow?? What a joke. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 28, 06:11 20
- ESPN.com says they will attempt to resume play tonight. Is that not right? -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 06:20 15
  - That's some crappy weather they have to deal with. Last nights game was very interesting. Good thing the Rays tied it up. MLB would have had - HdnAgnda Oct 28, 06:29 12
    - They need to get rid of all the off days during the playoffs and end this thing before October 15... - Jim Oct 28, 06:34 5
      - Then they need to get rid of the wild cards, which will never happen. - Don Homer Oct 28, 06:39 3
        
        word to the late start times and Boo to the end of the Wildcard -- nm - Beaker Oct 28, 06:41 2

        it's great, gives alot of teams and fanbase that extra bit of hope -- nm - Beaker Oct 28, 06:43
      - No way they can finish 3 rounds of playoffs that fast. Unless you kill travel days too... -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 06:38
    - it's raining a little bit right now -- nm - decline Oct 28, 06:32
    - Honestly, I can't think of many fans who would want to win a title becuase rain causes a game to end early. - Will Hunting Oct 28, 06:30 4
      - According to this, Selig, Rays, and Phillies agreed to play a 9-inning game no matter what. -- (link) - TFox Oct 28, 06:37
      - Completely agree. But it was becoming impossible to play that game last night. I wouldn't want to be a pitcher in that. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 28, 06:32 2
        
        Oh yeah, I have no problem with them suspending at 2-2, 2-1, or anything. - Will Hunting Oct 28, 06:38 1
        
        I think it would have been worse if they called it for rain in the 4th, b/c that makes it like the game never existed. - TFox Oct 28, 06:39
  - Yeah, I guess that is correct. (with 6 and 7 tomorrow and Thursday, as originally scheduled). The story I saw on espn was wrong apparently. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 28, 06:27
  - That's what I've been hearing as well. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 06:26
- Did the Rays ever find a hotel, or did they camp out in the clubhouse? -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 28, 06:12
- And tomorrow it will be delayed for Obama. -- nm - sheba Oct 28, 06:12 2
  - So are games 6 and 7 (if needed) moved to Fri and Sat, or what? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 28, 06:15
  - That works perfectly because it's only scheduled to be a 3-1/2 inning game. -- nm - JCVDano Oct 28, 06:14

- are we anywhere near being back to historic pricing levels yet? -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 28, 06:03 10
  - What do you mean? - ty97 Oct 28, 06:05 9
    - What I mean is are we at a level that we would be at if the boom never happened, in line with historical pre-boom trends. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 28, 06:07 8
      - I think that pre-supposes that the 'settling' point will be at the point where we would have been without a boom. - ty97 Oct 28, 06:31

  - yes - it doesn't sort exactly like it did the old way, but it does sort. I actually did a couple of trades too. -- nm - Diva Oct 28, 06:04
