Whatta GAME!
I really dislike baseball in the rain - everybody who ever played grew up having to play on wet fields with soggy baseballs that were slippery and very heavy - like a shotput - the feeling in your arms and hands after hitting a soggy baseball can't be forgotten. But as we grew up, we had to take the time available to us. MLB has all the time it wants, but chooses to play games in the rain anyway now and again. It compromises the game and can be dangerous. The players' union should be all over this.
But hey, the Phils won the rainy game anyway and they're going to the WS!!! So I guess I'm overlooking it this time.
You gotta love the 'tude, too - though the huge win made them NL champs, they know there are four more games to win, Can't wait for Friday. I admire Dusty Baker. He's surely paid his dues and a formidable opponent. But I want these Phils to take him out! GO PHILS!
(When I was 5, my neighbor taught me to score a game and I quickly learned The Whiz Kids' order.)
