habsfan1 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Watching game 1 of the World Series on FOX and the pre-game intro is a choir singing Bray Wyatt's "He's got the whole world in his hands". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueYankee26 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Last team to blow a 5 run lead in a World Series game? 2002 Giants in Game 6. Their manager? Dusty Baker. 1 1 1 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Houston can't catch a break with these "teams of destiny," can they? In 2019, last year in 2021, and now. One thing can be said, Philadelphia has a chance to own Houston in both baseball and football within the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kooky01 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Glad the Astros bounced back to win this one, but can this bullpen stop giving me the heebie jeebies please?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It's supposed to rain all night in Phila, though whether it's "light showers" or "you're going to die" is up for debate. But it's been in the forecast all day, without variance. Yet, MLB is waiting until 6:30PM to make a decision on the game. Meanwhile, everyone's already paid for parking and gone through whatever they had to go through to get down there. I'm about to hit the subway myself - just trying to give myself as much time as possible for the inevitable cancellation announcement. I get that it's a really big deal to postpone a WS game. The implications, both from a competitive standpoint as well as a TV standpoint are huge - but this should be a no brainer, and it's really the fans that get hosed. From a competitive standpoint, I think a cancellation benefits the Phillies. But, then game 5 will be up against the Eagles/Texans game, and everyone that went there for the football/baseball combo is screwed. And if it goes to game 7, that's now on Sunday, up against the NFL. I completely hate stadiums like Marlins park, Minute Made Park, etc, where it doesn't feel like an outside stadium even with the roof open, but every new stadium should have some kind of covering, whether like Safeco's or maybe even just some shoddy tarp. I don't know - there's engineers that are smarter than me that can figure this out. 3 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

If the weather is bad, people will just not go. But with a World Series game, if you wait, people come to the stadium, because the tickets are at such a premium and spend money, like you said, on parking, food, team store, etc. It's essentially like a free play in football. You get this opportunity to make some money in addition to the eventual make-up game. Happened twice back in 2006 in St. Louis, once each in the NLCS and the World Series. I was up working at Busch Stadium for it and honestly we were hoping they'd call it earlier in the day, but they waited and waited. It later occurred to me why. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're going to have to honor people's parking money for tomorrow, but they don't do receipts anymore and everything's cashless so I'm not sure how that works. Of course, it got called 30 seconds after I tapped my subway card - but I'm only out $2.25. Lots of folks are out a lot more. The funny thing is that game 5 of the world series between Houston and Philadelphia will be competing directly against TNF between... Houston and Philadelphia. That's a ratings disaster for both leagues.

I know the NFL (and the Eagles in Philadelphia, for that matter) is king and all of that nonsense, but unless the Phillies are down 3-1 in the series, more will be watching a World Series Game than a TNF game not even halfway through the season. Wouldn't you think? I do agree that the two leagues probably both lose out in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
