This could really be messy if the Rays come back . . .

From the Las Vegas Review Journal:

"Sports books pay as if Phillies won"

". . . Despite what appeared to happen Monday night in Philadelphia, the Tampa Bay Rays lost Game 5 of the World Series. At least in the view of Nevada sports books, the Phillies won 2-1. . . .

"However, even though the suspended game is scheduled to be completed today, the betting result is final.

According to Nevada gaming rules -- often referred to as "house rules" -- the final score of an official game is determined by reverting to the last completed inning. The Phillies led 2-1 after the fifth."

Yikes. Doesn't Bud Selig know you probably shouldn't piss off Vegas gambling-types?

If I weren't in such a Tastycake, soft pretzel, cheese steak induced coma right now, I'd be outside hollering "Yo Adrienne; the Phils won!" along with all my Fowl-weathered Friends. It's a good time to be in Philly.
