Baldelli made an “uncourageous” play on ball at wall, imo.   

Upton’s impatient swing on 0-0 pitch in 8th that yielded a tailor-made DP was boneheaded – and nail in coffin, based on Ridge’s unbelievably perfect save season.  B.J.’s a special talent though.

Maddon’s decision to let Howell bat?  Overthinking/worrying about next inning 1st up lefty hitter (didn’t pan out anyway).
Playing with a ’12-9 outs’ disadvantage to begin with, gotta send your guns to the plate.

Evan Longoria was no Matt Holliday.  Carlos Pena, no ‘Big Papi’.

PHILLIES ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS, deservedly so.  Played as a team.  With grit.  When it counted. 

Cole Hamels is an impressively talented and heady, goose-necked southpaw; but am still waiting for him to lay 9 golden eggs in 1 game.  Should have it in him at 24, especially when he’s got his “bread & butter” pitch, the ‘change-up’ going.  [Chuckled at the irony of his fastidious argot.]  ‘The Prince’ should ‘stretch it out’ before the adoring, grubby, stubby-fingered proles of the City of Brotherly Love.  Instead, he lets us drudges eat cake after 7 innings (usually). 

I’m hoping Selig remains overly cautious and play doesn’t resume until tomorrow.  It is supposed to be sunny and warmer on Thursday(not that it makes much of a difference at 9pm).  It would give the field more time to dry out.  It would also keep the Rays in Wilmington (I believe I read that is where they are staying) for one more day while we’re comfortable at home. 

Oh, one other thing.  Selig said that there would not be a travel day.  So, pushing things back to tomorrow would mean that game 7 would be played on Saturday and Hamels would be available to start on regular rest (just an insurance policy).
