First of all, this is NOT the Curse of Billy Penn rearing its ugly head. There may have never been such a thing to begin with. The Phillies still enjoy a 3-1 lead in the World Series and will still be at home when the Series resumes play (supposedly) on Wednesday.

As this report from CBS Sportsline confirms, the conclusion of Game 5 of the World Series will not be played tonight. It has currently been further postponed until, at the earliest, tomorrow night at 8 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park here in our fair city.

We’ve had some amazing athletes grace our city in the last 25 years. Some of the greatest to ever play their game have suited up and thrilled the fans of Philadelphia.

Yesterday, we linked to Jen Miller's Inquirer piece about making Philadelphians comfortable in Tampa. Today, we wanted to take a moment to link to her blog post about watching Game One from the Tampa Four Seasons, and thank her for linking to this piece by the Tampa Tribune's Howard Altman. It's an interesting read, and although a little insulting, not far from the truth. What do you think of Altman's assessment? Leave a comment with your thoughts!

Well, this Phillyist was going to write a nice little article comparing the Phillies and Rays at each position and determine who has the edge. I had this idea yesterday, but decided to hold off a day on writing it. Unfortunately, the Inquirer already wrote it this morning and I am, as Lao Tzu once said, “shit out of luck.”

Former Phillyist Jen Miller, a University of Tampa grad and a big Phillies fan, has a piece in this morning's Inquirer telling locals headed south for the first two (or, should it get that far, final two) games of the World Series where to go and what to do. If we were going, you'd best believe we'd be stopping at that Hooters. You know, for research purposes. Go Phils!

Philadelphia and Tampa Bay have unfinished business. Not in the, “I left some TPS Reports to finish on Monday,” kind of way. No. Philly and Tampa have Beatrix Kiddo and Bill kind of unfinished business.
