Soon after Game Five of the Series, this fan site was talking about it:
You don't play hockey on melting ice, and you don't play basketball outside in high winds. Right? Right. So you don't play baseball in a freaking monsoon.
"The infield fly rule is used in baseball all the way from youth leagues to the majors. During a pivotal part of the World Series game last night, however, it was ignored by the umpires. Why? Let's sort this out.
"Last night, the Phillies had runners on first and second with one out, and a pop-up was hit to Carlos Pena at first base. The umpires, as I said earlier, chose not to call the infield fly rule in this instance... "
[ Blah, blah, blah... and so on, ad - nausea, whimper, whimper...] [SOURCE]
Conversation amongst commenter's led to ridicule from our very own MooPig, balls and all:
"I believe it [infield fly] should have been called ... and I don't think I'm in
the minority." F***k-'n A...yes it should have been called, it's
still in play right now... "
This is for everyone except Jerome and JD... and Matt the blogger:

For the love of God and Country: this is baseball -- you all soundlike you never played before. Those umpires were all standing around
crying for their mommies.
Good Lord, Americans, grow a couple. Bad weather is the tenth man in
sandlot and in the majors... infield should have picked up the ball,
go to third, tag a runner or two and shove that same wet muddy ball
up the Ump's arse.
Mary and Joseph, whad' a bunch of ninnies: where's Johnny Bench when
you need him? None of you 2% 'ers mentioned Rugby did you... no? I'm
really beginning to wonder about the state of our Union.

And other then golf (which I play every time I get a chance) Baseballers are some of the most out of shape over paid sudo-child cry baby's I have ever seen. Tell'em what I said Pete Rose!!!!!
