World Series Creates History
The suspension of play in game 5 of the World Series sets a new historical mark - the first suspended game in the history of the season. With the series at 3-1 the Phillies, game 5 tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the 6th, it is all set for a cliff hanger.
What has many people intrigued is the ramifications of the Rays winning game 5 and sending the series into game 6 and perhaps 7. These games will need rescheduling with transport and accommodation big issues. Not only that, if the travel day is maintained, both sides will gain a bonus from rotations. Players from game 2 and perhaps game 3 will be available.
If game 7 is played on Friday, Rays choices could include game 4 starter Andy Sonnanstine or Scott Kazmir. The Phillies could include game 4 starter Joe Blanton or his ace, Hamels, who pitched six innings in Monday’s suspended game.
It makes for an interesting scenario that I am sure will have everyone guessing.
