World Series postponed again

By Tim Brown, Yahoo! Sports

PHILADELPHIA – The World Series went another day trapped in the sixth inning of Game 5.

As rain and chilly temperatures rendered Citizens Bank Park unplayable again, commissioner Bud Selig pushed the continuation of the Philadelphia Phillies’ potential clincher to 8:37 p.m. (ET) Wednesday.

The Phillies lead the series, three games to one. Game 5 is tied, 2-2, after 5 ½ innings, which is where Selig left it late Monday night, amid pools of water and much second guessing as to whether the game should have started in a light rain.

The forecast for Tuesday night was for rain – and, possibly, sleet and snow – until late evening. MLB announced Tuesday’s postponement just after 1 p.m. Tuesday.

“While obviously we want to finish Game Five as soon as possible, the forecast for today does not allow for us to continue the game this evening,” Selig said in a statement. “We are closely monitoring [Wednesday’s] forecast and will continue to monitor the weather on an hourly basis. We will advise fans as soon as we are able to make any final decisions with respect to [Wednesday’s] schedule.”

Wednesday is expected to be cold and wet with a possible break later in the afternoon.

Tampa Bay Rays general manager Andrew Friedman said by email Tuesday afternoon the Rays would leave the game in the hands of their bullpen, rather than come back with a starter. The Phillies are expected to do the same.


쩝. 오늘도 필라델피아 현지에 비바람과 눈보라가 몰아칠 예정이라 경기가 하루 더 밀렸답니다 -_-;

이럴거면 그냥 템파가서 하지.. -_-;;;
