Further signs of the impending Apocalypse - game five of the World Series is suspended because of rain. They'll get it in some time. For you soccer fans out there baseball is the only major sport that's not on the clock.
For the first time in Major League Baseball history, a World Series game has been suspended. Rain halted Game 5 of the Fall Classic in the bottom of the sixth inning on Monday night when the field at Citizens Bank Park was deemed unplayable.
The tarpaulin was pulled across the infield at 10:40 p.m. ET, with the Phillies and Rays tied, 2-2. There is no set time when it is expected to be removed. That is a matter that only Mother Nature can answer -- not the Phillies, the Rays or even the office of the Commissioner.
The unprecedented situation creates at least one more night in the tale of the 2008 Major League season. With more inclement weather forecast for the Philadelphia area, a resumption time remains indefinite. At the directive of Commissioner Bud Selig, the game will be resumed "when weather conditions are deemed appropriate."
