Nog een interessant weetje alvorens ik pissig in mijne nest kruip:

Jayson Stark:
"Rays' tying run in sixth saves MLB
The run the Rays scored in the sixth inning (after they had two outs and nobody on) might have saved Major League Baseball from one of its all-time October embarrassments.
Because that run tied the game, the rules now permit the game to be stopped, suspended and resumed when the skies clear -- whatever day, week or month that is.
But had the Phillies held onto the lead and the game then was stopped, the rules wouldn't have allowed a suspension. So baseball might have been faced with having the World Series end with the first rain-shortened game in Series history.
So talk about your clutch hits. When Carlos Pena lined that RBI single, the Rays might have been down to their final strike of the season -- in the sixth inning.
If this game can't be resumed -- and at this point, that's actually the most likely scenario -- it's expected that it would be scheduled to resume Tuesday night. But MLB's COO Bob DuPuy told Fox that because the forecast for Tuesday was equally horrendous, it's possible it might not be possible to finish this game until Wednesday.
Asked what the chances were of finishing the game Monday night, DuPuy replied: "Right now, we're not optimistic." "

Haha, dat er zo ZAT aan te komen. Sterkte Wouter, aan elke donkere wolk is er een gouden randje. Ooit gaf ik geen cent voor Jim Courier, die toch Wimbledon won. Ik zat toen ziek, kotsend en schijtend in een volkswijk in Arnhem. Maar ik heb toen genoten van die match. In the end, the winner takes it all !!!
