After three games, the aggregate score of the World Series is dead even at 10-10, but if the Rays don't win tonight, this thing could be over, as Cole Hamels would pitch for the title tomorrow. Given that this has the potential to be the most exciting World Series since 2001, it would be a shame for it not to go at least six, and preferably seven games, but the last World Series to start off like this also ended in five games as the Yankees beat the Mets in the 2000 fall classic. I explain in my preview of Game 4, which is up over at SI.com.

i read the whole preview this time! i agree that this game is pretty even and that it's also pivotal for the rays.

i think the keys are: tampa needs to be patient and see if blanton beats himself. philly needs to attack the strike throwing sonnanstine.

i wish there'd be a rain delay tonight (there won't), as i'm gonna miss at least half the game due to work...

Was PS umpiring always this bad? Or is it simply better TV/slow mo/instant replay coverage that exposes it? I mean, we are not talking the occasional bad call, but everyday blown calls.

ooh, i'm glad the 1st pitch was postponed. now i get to watch more baseball! i got in from work and burrell was up, right after howard's homer. i missed those fireworks. just sat down at the computer, saw a headline that floyd is hurt and hinske replaced him. then, BOOM hinske crushed that ball over the centerfield wall. tampa's into the 'pen...
