Rosenthal I hope you reconsider you new career as LA lap dog or vaudeville puppet for Fox Sports execs because you've shown that you know absoultely nothing about baseball. I hope you get fired.

GO HOME RAYS AND CRY TO MAMA NOW!!!!!

Next year hopefully Selig will start to use his weather controlling super-device and nix all the bad weather before it hits. This is the World Series for God's sake! In Fact, God himself should take note and stop his interfering with such an important - no, a monumentous occasion such as the WS!

*****Hi girls . . This will be my last time campaigning . . . looking for an unqualified presidential candidate as a mate? Log on to ObamaOhNo! dot com . . where all the bad choices reside . . but he does have some money !

I can't believe CSN had the nerve to let Ken on their show. It's not like he ever has a good thing to say about us. But he made up some stuff how the Phils are going to win. Gee nothing like stating the obvious! What a jerk. Ken go get a ladder so you can look taller than my 10 year old when you are on tv.

selig is was and always be a complete and utter ****. he's easily the worst baseball commissioner of all time. after his conflict of interest in being comish and owning the brewers, turning a blind eye to PHD's and then pretending to get tough, he's done nothing good for baseball. this latest episode only proves is incompentence. anyone with a clue can see the game should have been called immediately after the bottom of the fifth as the rain was completely out of control at that point. no matter what happens now, the legitimacy of the outcome and winner of the series can be called into question. nice job bud.

Ok, should I have said "one with diminished mental capacity"?

I can't believe they bleep the word i d i o t

Selig was in a no win situation. If they call the game earlier and it ends up that the rain wasn't as heavy as they anticipated but then rains hard Tuesday, he is an idiot and messed everything up by not letting them play. If they call the game earlier and the Phils win as a result of a shortened game, he is an idiot. If they stop the game with the Phils ahead and decide to keep playing, he is an idiot who doesn't know or care about the rules of his own game. He isn't a genius, but he takes much more grief than he deserves.

did anyone ask the genius commish what he would have done had the rays been winning when the farce was called? sure, no one "wanted to see it end this way", but i'm sure t.b. would have screamed had they been deprived of a win "by the rules of the game".<br />what a joke.

Rosenthal's pic looks like something from the 1960's.<br />Are you sure that is not an old photo of Pete Rozelle?

WAH, WAH, WAH... everybody's crying and getting their excuses ready for any outcome. Why doesn't everyone just shut up, man up and just PLAY (or watch) the game like a man whenever it's played, under whatever conditions. No excuses, no crying. All complainers: stop being wussies (and replace the W with a P, thank you very much).

If Ken thought it was all jacked up then was more then like correct. Joe Tim and Ken should be fired for putting a black eye on baseball. Joe saing on TV I would say what my boss told me say. Tim with his miss information. Ken must be pay per response.

When I first read the opposite here on the game call, I supported Bud's decision. THat I do - for the scenario that played out.<br /><br />That said, reading this side now, I have to retract what I said as far as the game. <br /><br />If the weather was poor, it should not have been played and waited for another day. You will have people on both sides of the fence complaining about this decision and how it affected the teams:<br /><br />Phillies (if lose): You cheated us out of winning the series on our field. (If win - obviously nothing wrong, because they win the series).<br /><br />Rays (if lose): You got our hopes up then dashed. (if win) Well, we get to have a chance to win it on OUR turf.<br /><br />*******<br /><br />But, as we all know Selig has made a couple of poor decisions this year that were weather related. Like it or not, the Astros were cheated out of playing in a neutral location because Selig chose to have the games played in Milwaukee - 90 miles from Chicago. <br /><br />Fair? - just like the 2005 incident where the Astros were denied their home field advantage by Selig when he ordered them to keep the roof open - NO, NO, NO. <br /><br />Result? - Astros lose their moral, play poorly, White Sox win and defeat an 84 year curse.<br /><br />Now, what happened as far as this year? - Hurricane Ike. And look, I know McLane screwed up there too - my point is that Selig also was associated with that decision - and it was based on the weather.<br /><br />**********<br /><br />To Phillies and Rays fans (who, BTW, I think this is the best matchup because both teams want to play and win), I truly feel bad for you guys and how you feel about Selig. We've been there. <br /><br />To both team's players (if they can read this stuff), don't let this decision bother you. And, I hope that it dries up enough so you guys can play safely. I don't care how much you make, it means nothing if you're injured on a bad field.

"Upton proceeded to steal second, raising the question of whether he can walk on water."<br /><br /><br />lol. thats all i have to say to that.

Hey skilkrax,<br /><br />If that's what you call a couple of drops of rain, I hope that when it starts to rain in your neighborhood you have the skills to build an ark.

Thanks Ken for writing everything I feel about this series. To start I'm a full fleged Phils fan an to tell the truth I don't feel the way I should with my team a game away from a title. Why? To Start the Umpires in this series are the worst lot I have ever seen and whoever picked this bunch of Sapps should be fired. 2nd to start a game at 10 o'clock at night for 2 east coast teams because they must get the games in for there Bosses at fox is lame. Nobody Cares if no one is awake. and last but not least this comish has to go. He let this game start and continue even though the players who are supposed to be the big story here were very much in danger of injury. All to get the Game in. What an Idiot. He compimised the players well being for the almighty Fox schedule. And what about us fans stayin up at all hours of the night to watch these games so somebody on the west coast can watch it too. Does anyone on the west coast care about this series anyway? If it was The Dodgers and Angels I wouldn't care so why should they care about seeing these games. This sport has really showed what its all about during what should be an exciting Ride for fans. Its not about the players and fans. Selig must think we all come to hear his stupid words or watch these pathetic umpires. he is wrong but sadly he doesn't even know it.

Hey Cloud, let me guess: Your from New Yawk or Bawstan, right? Here's an Idia I'm sure you would like. (not)<br />Let's just take All the "small market teams out of MLB and just have a league with the Mets, Yankees, Dodgers, Angels, Cubs White Sox, Red Sox, Rangers, Astros, and Braves, and then we wouldn't have to worry about the rest of the inconsequential teams gtetting in the way of YOUR gane.<br />PUNKS!

Dirkbillboard, stop moaning, you got pwned. <br /><br />All in all this World Series has been a joke, then again without the dreadful decisions, from both the umps and the MLB, noone would be talking about it at all, unless you're from Philadelphia or are a glory seeking Rays fan

go ahead bud blame it on the groundskeeper thats cowardly you know darn well fox told you to continue this sham you aint nothing but a puppet
