The Rain in Philly Stays Mainly on the Field

from MLB.com...

For the first time in Major League Baseball history, a World Series game has been suspended. Rain halted Game 5 of the Fall Classic in the bottom of the sixth inning on Monday night when the field at Citizens Bank Park was deemed unplayable.

The tarpaulin was pulled across the infield at 10:40 p.m. ET, with the Phillies and Rays tied, 2-2. There is no set time when it is expected to be removed. That is a matter that only Mother Nature can answer -- not the Phillies, the Rays or even the office of the Commissioner.

Man v Nature. I love it. Baseball in November. I hate it.
