    This is absolutely insane. This game Friday got snowed out with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the 4th inning, rescheduled for a doubleheader on Saturday which couldn't get played, and now both games today have been postponed as well.

    As a big fan of chaos like this, I'm really intriguied at what they're going to do. Seattle doesn't make another trip back to Cleveland. I wonder if they'll reschedule some other series to make room for this and mix and match doubleheaders with other teams. I don't know, but I love this.

    Well they will probally play it in seattle or just not play the games unless there is a chance either team is in the hunt for a playoff spot and those 3 games will matter.

    It'll probably be based solely on the race after the AS break. If either team appears that they will need the games in the overall race (which has a good chance, at least in terms of Cleveland,) they'll probably schedule them in during a trip by Seattle in the second half. Maybe a one here, double-header there type of thing.

    All in all, this is wonderful. One more thing for Bud Selig to find a way to totally screw up.

    How exactly is this Bud Selig's fault? They've been playing baseball in cold weather locations in April since the major leagues began; you can argue that it's good or bad, but it has nothing to do with Selig. The people who will try to figure this out will be the schedule makers (who basically use linear programming to come up with schedules that minimize travel time and costs subject to scheduling constraints); you can be very sure that Bud Selig will have nothing to do with it.

    That was supposed to be a sarcastic comment. I guess it failed.
