Tampa Bay Rays were that close to losing the World Series tonight, as they trailed the Phillies 2-1 in the top of the 6th with a worsening rain coming down around them. Had Carlos Pena not driven in BJ Upton to tie the game at 2-2 with 2 outs, it would've gone into the rain delay (as it did after the top of the 6th) still 2-1 and the Phillies would've later in the evening been crowned 2008 World Series Champions. Instead, because the score was tied, it's a suspended game and they'll resume - weather permitting - tomorrow night.
To which I say again: if only all MLB parks had retractable roofs! What a travesty it would've been if Philly had won the championship in a rain-shortened game, under conditions where little of what brought those two teams to the World Series were allowed to shine. Major League Baseball dodged an embarrassing bullet tonight, I think.
