Report: Game Five To Resume Wednesday

UPDATE (1:20 p.m.): Major League Baseball reports the game will start at the bottom of the sixth inning at 8:37 p.m. Wednesday. This factors in the Barack Obama campaign commercial originally scheduled for Wednesday.

Games six and seven could take place Thursday and Friday nights, if necessary.

***

According to sources close to the situation, tonight’s rescheduled continuation of game five of the World Series has been canceled due to heavy storms, including snow, in the Philadelphia region.

A 2 p.m. press conference will be held with a new schedule.

Chances are they’ll play the rest of game five Wednesday.

More when it comes, including official word.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
