Baseball seeks end to playoff embarrassments - Posted Sports

I am glad I am not the only one who thought the way last season ended was a travesty. I was criticized on these forums for expressing my belief that the end of the season was 'tarnished' after rain shortened the last game and then it was not picked up again until 48 hours later and then lasted on three innings.
It was a terrible way to end the season and for me ruined the entire playoffs.
Hopefully the league office will also review the way in which playoff games are handled when bad weather may be an issue. Game five never should have started much less been ended after six innings only to be picked up two nights later. The fifth and sixth inning could hardly even be called baseball because of the amount of rain that was pouring down.
