No wonder Joe Maddon is so chipper in post-game interviews.  Bullet dodged, eh?  There was absolutely no discernable difference in the infield between the fifth inning and the sixth—it sucked, no matter how you look at it.  So why suspend play after the Rays tied it up?  When Selig himself admits that the decision to suspend the game was made in the fifth?  They should wipe the sixth inning off the books.  That Cole had to go out and pitch in that slop, while the Rays will pitch the bottom of the sixth from a pristine mound at some later date is INSANELY unfair.

Love the fact that the guy from PA wants to wipe out the tying run, how typical. Not bad enough they are getting the better end of the WORST umpiring I have ever seen in my 50 years. I think we need to be checking some bank accounts. Seriously, the behind the play calling, even mentioned by the commentators, to be favoring the Phillies has to make you scratch your head. The alledged Baldelli out at second, BULL, never touched him. Longoria’s tag at third - the ump looking right at it, how could he not see he was out - UNBELIEVEABLE, and the Phillies fans have the nerve to grip.

I’m a native of Lititz, PA (you should visit sometime) who saw his first Phillies game with his dad in 1966. Let’s be honest: there have been bad calls both ways (e.g., the Moyer glove-flip to Howard in Game 3). Last night’s game should have been suspended after five, or earlier, and resumed later to give you a chance to tie it up in reasonable conditions.
You have a great team that’s fun to watch and, however it ends, we should do this again next year!

The conditions in which the 6th inning were played favored the team that was at bat. The pitcher could not throw breaking balls or changeups and was unable to drive off of the mound. Fielders were required to either stare up into a driving rain or try to pick up grounders out of the mud. A runner on base could steal with no threat of a throw. Face it. The Rays’ tying run was totally aided by the weather. The Phillies should have been allowed to bat and benefit from those same hitter-favorable conditions in the bottom of the inning.

yeah, lets forget all those crappy calls for Scott Kazmir that would have prevented the scoring in the first inning. Even the commentators were flabergastd at the calls Kellog was making - They said that the calls “seemed to favor the Phillies” - yep, might want to check their bank accounts!!
