What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBaseball is a guest on football's day, and the whole mess traces back to one rainy Friday.

  2. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorGame Four got washed out, Saturday took it, and Game Five landed on Sunday.

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSo a cloud rearranged the schedule of two sports. Clouds do that. It's the one forecast that always comes in.

  4. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Rays won Game Four seven to three in Cleveland, so it's two games each.

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorGame Five is at Progressive Field at five-oh-eight Eastern, two-oh-eight Pacific, with Rasmussen against Messick.

  6. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentWho's Rasmussen?

  7. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorA one point two nine ERA this postseason, and Messick's at three point oh nine.

  8. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, that's the best number on the board and I'm telling you it matters.

  9. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFine, lower is better. Then why is nobody celebrating the Guardians, who came back from two games down against the White Sox?

  10. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThey did, and they'll tell you that's why they're still here.

  11. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorMeanwhile, the Steelers just won in overtime, twenty-six to nineteen over Tampa Bay, and the Packers and Cowboys kick off at eight-twenty Eastern, five-twenty Pacific.

  12. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAnd the winner of Game Five faces Milwaukee, who've been waiting in the World Series since before the rain.

  13. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentTonight somebody finally gets to join them.
