WCAU-TV in Philadelphia reports “Major League Baseball has announced that Game 5 has been delayed until Wednesday. The announcement was made as the Philadelphia area continued to be pounded by rain, wind and even snow in some areas.
“Rain and wind suspended Game 5 between the Phillies and Rays in the middle of the sixth inning on Monday night. Whenever the game continues the Phils will be coming to bat with the game tied 2-2.”
I really wouldn’t want to be Bud Selig at the moment. But that doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying his distress.
Much like the stock market, I’m holding out hope the Rays can make a miracle Series comeback. And like the market, I’ve yet to pull out my (emotional) investment. Just someone, for the love of all that his holy, keep Balfour away from the bump!

The Rays are happy to be living another day.

Grant Balfour - sounds more like a hockey player than pitcher.

They're only delaying the inevitable.

Actually, this Game 5 delay is adding some interest & drama to a Series that was seriously lacking any.

If it means one less night of dealing with Phillies fans, then I'm all for it.

The NBA must be pretty pleased - one less distraction to its big opening night!

Hope the cheesesteaks don't get too soggy.

I'm surprised Bud Selig just didn't declare the World Series a tie.
