Delayed. What do the boys have to say?

As much as we would have loved to see the game end in our favor last night, any true Phils fan knows that we have to win this Series fair and square. Here's what some of the players have to say about last night's rain:

Cole Hamels
"It was the worst conditions imaginable to try and pitch in. It's something you don't train for. You have to do your best. It's not the way you want to finish your last start of the year, but Mother Nature won. Now I have to let our bullpen and our hitters finish it off."

Pedro Feliz
"It was bad. You could see the puddles all over."

Carlos Ruiz
"It was real bad out there. The worst I've ever played in. It was very hard for Cole to pitch."

Matt Stairs
"I remember playing a game in Little League, where guys were wearing rubber boots. It's a shame we lost Cole, but we're not going to have a problem being fired up when we do play. We'll come back and the score will be 2-2. [If we win] the champagne will taste as good, maybe colder. You can't control the weather."

Brad Lidge
"You can't end the World Series and not play nine innings."

Agreed, Brad. Agreed.
