Weather turns Series into worst ever (http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?name=gammons_peter)



And as the winds and the rains and even the snowflakes rattled across Pennsylvania, there was no chance they could move the bottom of the sixth inning to St. Pete, similar to what happened in the 1959 Junior World Series between Gene Mauch's Minneapolis Millers and Preston Gomez's Havana Sugar Kings. The first two games were played in Bloomington, Minn., on Sept. 27-28, but the weather turned so miserable that they moved the rest of the series to Havana, where the Cubans beat Carl Yastrzemski and the Millers in seven games. For those who like domes, that was September.


i wish he would be fired.

and so WHO gets to watch the games??? the people in tampa. what about the people in Philly who already paid to see the geme... do they get their $$ back of course not... and who gets to get into the trop for the 2nd 1/2 of the game??? wil mlb pay for airfare.


what an arragant prlck

It's not like he was suggesting that they move it to Tampa. He just said what happened in 1959. You seriously need to calm down and take your meds.

[BINGLEBOP]

On a side note, I think it's funny how the Minnesota Twins complained that they didn't have an outdoor stadium, and now they do. In April, it's going to be brutally cold at times, and here in Minnesota, we do get snow... A LOT of it sometimes! My father told me that was the reason they wanted a domed stadium in the first place, which they will have used for only 27 years once they move into their new stadium.

I'm confused ... why exactly to you hate him? He makes a statement, you rant and agree with him, then say you hate him ?

[TheNamelessPoet]

i guess i just dont like his attitude... he reminds me of the baseball version of Dr phil..

Just a pompas jerk... he WAS suggesting they move it to Tampa but basicly said they coundnt because of the weather... why even bring ut up of you didnt think it would have been an option
I jsut find him to be annoying and full of himself. I cant really give examples its just a feeling I get from hearing his voice/seeing his face...

[BINGLEBOP]

I still don't see him asking "Why doesn't MLB move the game to Tampa?" or "This is a stupid decision to keep the games in Philadelphia".

You should stop listening to his voice or watching his face on TV then. If he gets you that upset, listen or watch somebody else.

I generaly do I was thinking I was clicking on nyers blog... i want pay attentin then aout 3-4 paragraphs into it it didnt sould like him and then it dawned on me to see who it was and I saw it was him

[HoustonGM]

Yeah, I don't see where he's suggesting it. He's just saying, "That's not an option."

I don't like how he said that it's turned this into the "worst series ever." Come on man, the series isn't even over yet.

[gRYFYN1]

possibly the most maligned sieres, but at least tthe Rays beat the Sox or we would be looking at games 6 and 7 possibly being played in 30 degree weather also.

I was actuallly in and around philly all day today and the atmosphere is amazing. People are pumped for this game....and most intrigued about its 'shortness', the strategy of it, and the potential to party afterwards as it will end at a halfway decent hour.

This WAS a very dull World Series...this event actually made it memorable.

[Arctic Blast]

I agree with dickay...this has not exactly been a thrillfest of a Series. Just boring.

[BINGLEBOP]

Yeah, a lot of the players were saying how memorable this World Series turned out to be and how they'll never forget it... it is an interesting story.

Any player in the World Series will say that it's a memorable experience, regardless of how the series is for the average fan. :p :)

I like Gammons.

I enjoyed the 3 1/2 inning game. It was intense. It still took an hour and a half to play, though.
