The difference is that when the action starts on the track you can unmute and listen to the announcer. I never watch TVG anymore anyway except when Keeneland is on or sometimes the meadowlnds at night when the less annoying guys are there

The Rays already won their "World Series" when we beat the Red Sox. They used all their emotion up in that series. Not only did we (the grounds crew) notice it but so did George Hendrick and some other coaches. We were talking to him about it before game 2 and he was worried that beating the Sox -which were better than the Phills took a toll.

Being realistic and knowing that we probably weren't as good as the Sox, it's hard to think that we can come back . IF...IF we can get past Hammels tonight, we have a chance....albeit a slim one.

On another note.....the Rays treated the full time employees to all expense paid trip to game 3 and 4 up in Philly. The fans were so bad there that they needed extra security because fans were "animals" as the media put it. I guess they were throwing food and beer all over the kids in Rays gear and calling the women vulgar things just for being, well a women in Rays gear.
Talk about a real home field advantage....they had anyone without Phillies gear in fear.

However....the Phills' players have been so polite. They are the ONE team that will use the trash cans provided. Dobbs, Stairs and even Howard got up off of the bench to throw shtuff away. Everyone else (besides the Tigers and Reds) are pigs and think they are too good to use trash cans.

The rays had a great run and are positioned to get even better.

Don't get me wrong. I am VERY satisfied that we beat the Red Sox. That was just as important to me (and most of my co-workers). Of course I'd love to win the WS but I am happy to get where we are.

We may be better next year but we'll also now have that target on our backs.

MLB got soooo lucky that Tampa scored before they delayed the game. How bad would it have been to have the world Series decided on a rain shortened game? Or wait till 4 am to get the rest in?

Everyone gets lucky. They should have moved the game up to 4PM. Sorry FOX but the game is more important. FOX could have shown a replay of the game at 8PM.
What a horrible umpiring crew. Embarrassing. The turface should have come out in the 3rd inning.

The party that I was at was in an uproar due to this. Of course, I had to be the drunken a$$hole to bring it to everyone's attention. Sometimes I wonder if these people even watch the game. There's watching the game, and there's WATCHING the game. I do the latter, and was in the minority tonight, which plays a BIG role why I enjoy WATCHING it with my old man.

My brother Danny was sending me picture messages of himself getting into the game free with his old yellow Aramark jersey, posing as a vendor. Who had the last laugh on that one?

As soon as I saw them throw Selig's half lifeless body to a podium, I knew it was kapoots. Looks like wednesday will be when it resumes. I wonder who they trot to the mound to start it off.
