My buddies and I called it early. When I walked into the bar to watch MNF, I told the owner that the baseball game would be called because we were already getting a heavy rain and knew it would hit Philly shortly. Once it started, weconcluded that if would have been called in the 5th if there was any indication on the radar that showed a chance it would stop. However, if there was no gap in the storm, they would take it as far as possible before it got completely ridiculous.
Well, we were somewhat right because it did get pretty bad. What is more ridiculous is all the BS about how Bud Selig is ruining the WS and you have idiots writing columns about how the game should be be called and awarded to the Phillies because they are past 4 1/2 innings, yada, yada, yada. We are in one screwed up country when the slightest little thing like stopping a baseball game due to bad weather is the leading subject of the news and everyone has to find fault with someone for life to go on.
I think we should change the name of this country to the United State of Chicken Little.
