UGH...

A few randoms from last night's rain-fest:

1. As we stated yesterday, the pressure is definitely on the Phillies to close out the series in game five. With Brett Myers (a mental midget, as my uncle calls him) set to pitch on the road in game six and Jamie Moyer (yes, he's a gamer -- but he also has the ability to get lit up) in game seven, it was imperative that Cole Hamels closed the deal last night.

2. Which brings us to our next point. We're not sure what Idiot Selig should have done last night. It was not raining when the game started. Should Idiot Selig have waited to start the game? What if the rain never came or was less than expected? The problem is the whole thing looks fixed when Idiot Selig called for a rain delay immediately after the Rays tied the game in the 6th inning. Had the Rays not tied the game, would Idiot Selig have allowed the game to continue in the flooded monsoon conditions?!?

3. The weather in Philadelphia tonight is supposed to be cold and...wait for it...wet. If the completion of game 5 gets pushed back to Wednesday, at least that would allow Hamels to start game 7 if, knock on wood, the series gets to that point.

4. Ugh. We are tired and grumpy. If the trio of Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Pat Burrell -- hitting a collective .138 (spearheaded by Burrell's impressive .000 average) -- suddenly decides to hit whenever game 5 resumes, that would eliminate the grumpy part.
