Open Thread: World Series Game 5 - Rays @ Phillies
by Taj Adib on Oct 27, 2008 5:13 PM PDT
425 comments
The Phillies find themselves at home with a 3-1 series lead, with their best pitcher on the mound and a chance to secure their first World Series title since 1980. The weather forecast is calling for a chance of light rain, with winds and temperatures in the mid-40s. This is all adds up to some of the most favorable homefield conditions the Phillies can ever expect.
It's Hamels versus Kazmir...will it be the Phillies vanquishing the young upstarts? Or will it be the start of an epic comeback from the young guns, who will attempt to bring the series back to Tampa for at least one more game? Who knows...but that's why we watch the games...
Lineups:
| 1. | A. Iwamura, 2B | J. Rollins, SS |
| 2. | C. Crawford, LF | J. Werth, RF |
| 3. | B. Upton, CF | C. Utley, 2B |

Let me get this straight:
You’re a 30+ HR guy and no one is playing defense on the left side of the infield so…you drag a bunt? Is this what the Black Sox scandal World Series looked like?

I have no problem with him bunting if he wants
But then bunt it to the left side for God’s sake! (Or my sake.)

Maybe he should just skip the first and come out in the second

Well, you will definitely see Bud
if the Phils have the lead after the top of the 5th is completed and then there’s a rain delay. There is zero chance of a rain-shortened game handing the Phils the trophy. They’ll have a 13 hour rain delay and resume it at 11 a.m. if that’s what needs to be done.

since their up by a run in the bottom of the 5th, or pick the game up another time.
