Yes.
I just turned on the Rays feed on Gameday Audio. I think the announcer said that TBS was having tech difficulties, and the game “might” be delayed a bit.

Addendum
TBS has “power issues” in Atlanta. They have started the game. Crisp bunt single on first pitch.

I wonder if they’re going to go ahead and start the game or wait for TBS indefinitely . . .

Pulling for the Rays
even though watching another expansion team get to the WS would suck, watching Boston get there again would suck worse.

I hope TBS never gets to carry a playoff game after this fiasco
Could you imagine if this happened and it was the CUBS that where up 3-2 on someone in the NLCS? Oh Boy

Do you think this could be grounds for MLB to rescind TBS' broadcast rights?

But if it was Yankees/Red Sox the entire network along with Ted Turner would be kicked out of the country.

I don't understand why they didn't broadcast play by play over the phone on TBS.
I remember the Cubs doing that during a game with technical difficulties.
Wouldn’t that be better than a re-run of the Steve Harvey Show?

First game I've watched at the Trop.
Is that real grass or field turf?
Tommie Agee was out.
by Weeghman Park on Oct 18, 2008 9:30 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
It's called "FieldTurf" and the Rays literature claims it is "natural looking"
but it isn’t.

That's what I thought it looked like
Our high school indoor batting cages have that, It’s OK, much better than Astroturf but not as soft as real grass, It’s a real bitch to clean sunflower seeds out of it though.

I wanted the bad things to happen to Beckett and the Sox….F Josh Beckett
The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't managed the Cubs to a post season win. D. Lee still doesn't have a post seasson RBI for Cubs...ditto for Soriano

Stop me if you've heard this one before...
…but a team is up 3-1 in a LCS, lose game 5 on the road, and then their sure handed shortstop makes an error that leads to a big inning that ultimately gives the other team the lead… oh, and that other team has Josh Beckett…
I think I’ve heard this one before…
One thing you learned as a Cubs fan: when you bought you ticket, you could bank on seeing the bottom of the ninth.

The Rays were also 7 outs away from going to the world series with a 7 run lead...
and blew that game, and maybe this game too. I’ve seen that movie before also.

Badgers don’t understand (yet?) that USC will always be a better team.

that’s where they put all kinds of pads and helmets on and then brag about how hard they hit each other. If those guys had any real balls they would play rugby.

WOW...the Red Sox could pull off another miracle.
The difference between the Red Sox and the Cubs is that the Red Sox play to win and NEVER give up in the playoffs. The Cubs just seem to play “not to lose”. Once you get them down, they are toast. We need someone who can step up in the post season-ANYBODY PLEASE. For the Red Sox it was Drew on Thursday, and Varitek last night. Maybe we should bench Soriano during the playoffs-didn’t we still have a winning record when he was out of the lineup?
GO RED SOX!!

Once the Cubs win the pennant and World Series...
…then you’ll see them play as loose and resilient as the Red Sox have since 2004.

I tend to think...
…once they win a pennant, it will be a huge monkey off of their back. Considering they haven’t been there since 45, this is a key stepping stone to getting this particular core group over the hump.
IMO, if they would have gotten to the world series this year, they would have played more relaxed in the series and I think the same would apply the next couple of years.
