Cleveland was leading Seattle 4-0, and the game was one out away from being official. But crew chief Rick Reed called the game about a quarter till nine o'clock. There were over 2 1/2 hours worth of delays during the game, and according to the AP, the grounds crew spent more time on the field than the players. It will be made up as part of a twi-night doubleheader today. Weather permitting, of course.

I watched some of the highlights of that game. The weather was better in my area than it was there. Seems like at that point they could have gone for one more out ???

MLB should probably start the schedule 2 weeks later. It's too cold to be playing in a lot of these cities. But as Joe Pesci said in Casino. "It's about the $$...always about the $$$$.."

This cost me big in my GTG league...I put in an Indian and a Mariner thinking I would get me a double hitter today or yesterday...cost me about 12-16 at bats!...

Lucky for me Lefty's team didn't hit worth a darn...

If they aren't able to play the makeup doubleheader on Monday, April 9, they will have a real mess on their hands. It would potentially mean that, the next time Seattle visits Cleveland, all three dates will be doubleheaders. This has been an unusual spring. Usually, they play the games, even in the northern tier of cities, with no problems at all.

That would definitely be interesting... six games in three days. Man would the bullpens be empty at the end of that one!

What makes this even more of a mess is that this was the only time Seattle was coming to Cleveland this season. How do they make these games up now? If they make them double headers the next time they play, that would be unfair to the Indians. They would lose some home games. Should they just play the games at the end of the season if necessary, or do they make them up on open dates?

In my daily league, I was able to get Raul out in time today and got Posednik in.....That's a good questions Azrael. Just figure out what the dumbest way to handle it is - and I'm sure that's what MLB will do.
