    the strike zone for Hamels has another 3 inches on every side of the plate, apparently.


    Kellogg should be fired and then tarred and feathered.

    Watch Game 2 and tell me that there wasn't some bullshit going on with the 38-10 Free Throw advantage the Celtics got? 38-10? Almost as laughable as the Heat's free throw parade in the 06 finals

    it's an official game, so yes.

    They don't want to do that, though.


    I wanted a rain delay to knock Hamels out.

    Shame on Major League Baseball for allowing this continue..... they knew the weather and they should have stopped this thing before it became an official game. If they stopped it and declared the Phils champs I might be done. What a disgrace this is turning into. Shoddy umping plus putting these players in harms way with the conditions.

    I'm not watching that again. I don't even know how I'd go about doing so. I always hated when basketball fans would complain about free throw attempts differential. Anyway, I don't know how you could bring up the '08 Finals considering the series was not close.

    this is why baseball shouldn't be played in October

    I'm sure the Mets would like that; the regular season ending in August and all

    The last game wasn't close, and before that it was 3-2 when really 2 of those 5 games were HANDED to Boston. The Mavs lsot to the Heat in 06 in 6 games also, and guess who was the better team? Dallas. The reason hoops complain about FT differential is cause it's the easiest way to rig a game. You give 1 team 20 more attempts than the other and you send 80% guys to the line, you're giving that team ~16 points. Pretty similar to baseball strike zones

    And it's a game again. A shitty misserable wet cold game, but a game nonetheless.

    I think that's why they don't want to stop it. The forecasts don't expect it to stop soon

    "weather tomorrow is supposed to be worse" according to DuPuy.

    We could have a suspended game on our hands.
