Exactly, what were the moguls of MLB doing during last night's suspended World Series game?  They were all there, from the goofy Commissioner on down.  I'm assuming they were witnessing the blowing rain and field conditions that would have stopped any other game, on any other given day, before it became offiicial.

      Do you really think major league baseball would have stopped the game after 5 1/2 innings if the Rays didn't tie the score?  To think, if they did, had Carlos Pena not drove in the tying run in the top of the 6th, the Rays would have lost the game and the World Series. 

      You can't tell me that the umpires didn't want to stop that game before it became official.  I'l bet you those knuckleheads up in their MLB suite were making this call.   They were within an eyelash of causing one of the all-time blunders in major league baseball history.

      I felt sorry for Rays Exec Matt Silverman having to sit next to Bud Selig in the news conference to follow.  I'm sure he was asked, or should I say, ordered to sit with the Commish as he tried to explain an unexplainable situation.  

      Fortunately, the Rays have a fair shake at keeping this World Series from ending.  That's the way it should be.  For Bud Selig, and the rest of his Ivory Tower crew, thank Carlos Pena for bailing you out.
