Oh, It Is On!

was there a date on this or is "tonight" whenever Bud decides is in teh Rays best interest? Anyone play ball in the snow ever?— jeff gross- It's PHILS TIME.— hayes9
- Zo, you are connected to the players as much as anyone. let us know what the mood is like with them and if they are still annoyed about monday.— timm2
- I am of the humble opinion that Bud Selig and Ruppert Murdoch were separated at birth.— Phandom
- Zo will think he's at Lambau Field tonight, covering the team on the frozen tundra. I'll be gore-tex'd up, 9 outs to go.— jimmymack
- Man, I was a freshman in high school when the Phils last won it all. I can't believe it's gonna' happen... Wow. I've spent a lot of time (and money) sitting at the Vet and now CBP over the years, and here is the payoff. Let's go boys.— NJLouis66
- Hey, here's a question... Will there be a National Anthem? Will the players be introduced? Will there be a 7th inning stretch? Hmm...— NJLouis66
- Good question lets ask Bud.— Wally 24
- there should be no anthem, no introductions and yes to 7th inning stretch, in the 7th inning. They shouldpublish two box scores. one for game 5 and one for game 5-1/2. What a farce this whole thing is, but in the end, the Pillies will be the champs— jeff gross
- NJLouis66, I would say yes, yes, and yes. I'm sure MLB will follow all of the rituals as if the game were starting from the beginning. I think it is partly out of respect, partly to follow conventions, and partly in an attempt to build up the moment. It is the world series after all.— bski
- Maybe Bud will sing God bless America for us.— Wally 24
- Hey, maybe some of the water still on the field will ice up! Won't that be fun!?!? I hate the idiots who run MLB.— Deb in Dixie
Comment removed.- Heh, yeah I can see that since NHL and MLB are the two worse run major leagues in the US! But all that matters is that the Phillies WIN tonight. It's just another game. I have no doubt that our guys can focus. They have shaken off far worse so far this season.— Deb in Dixie
- Let's try this again, shall we...?— RollinsWasRight
