Phillies Official
so when is Baseball a 3 inning game? shame on MLB?
they should never played last night.now change the rules as they go! this was official game before MLB let them tie it up.shame on you commissar.start the game over.if this change the out come of this series you should resign.the Phillies only been here two times in a 100 years BASEBALL IS NOT PLAYED IN THE RAIN .i`ll never buy a ticket to a game again.WAKE UP.5 IS OFFICIAL NOT WHEN THE OTHER TEM TIES IT THEN CALL THE GAME. I`M HOLDING WORDS BACK
If Tampa was up 3 games to 1, they were leading 2-1 after 4 1/2 innings, would you have wanted them to call the game because of rain and let Tampa celebrate a world series win?
The game won't be a 3 inning game, it will be (at least) a 9 inning game that's going to be played on 2 different days.
You are not objective, you only care about one side of the argument.
