I must give Major League Baseball a little credit.

While I think starting Game 4 of the World Series a little after 10 p.m. Saturday after a nearly two-hour rain delay was absurd, giving the Rays every opportunity to tie Monday night's Game 5 in a driving rain storm was probably the right thing to do.

Luckilly, the Rays did tie the game before the game was suspended in the sixth inning, so there would be no question as to whether the Phillies would be handed a World Series title without the final game going at least nine innings.

That would have been an unacceptable picture.

Thankfully it won't happen.

Let this Series be decided on the field, no matter how long it takes.
