The 2008 World Series aka 3 innings from eternity

I’m very grateful for the weather, Major League Baseball, and FOX all allying to not interrupt House last night with the possible remnant of game 5 of the World Series.  I’m always especially grateful for Bud Selig to let the Rays catch up so they have a chance to come back today, tomorrow, whenever the game will be held.  My fan bias aside, Selig, in a league filled with steroids scandals, all-too-important All Star games and more steroids, Selig actually made the right call.  Sure they could have waited another day or started the game sooner, but in the heat, or rather rain, of the 6th inning, he made the right decision, for the sake of the league and the Series.

Now, while I would like my resident Florida team to eke out victory, my pity for Philadelphia is willing to concede defeat as that fair city burns in a victory riot.  Just kidding, you’re not Detroit, but you need a championship much much more.  Being teased by the Eagles year after year, that would leave all but a Buffalo Bills fan blustered, so I hope that the city that the Liberty Bell, Rocky, and Cheesesteaks built will never lose hope.  And thanks to Cole Hamels, it just might happen.
