Baseball commissioner Bud Selig announced the sport will enact a rules change stating that postseason games cannot be shortened because of bad weather.


"All postseason games, All-Star games and that, will be full-length affairs, and the rule will be so written," Selig said Thursday following an owners' meeting.


Selig said the change also will apply to tiebreaker games that decide division titles and wild-card berths.


"Any game that has significance for the postseason," he said. "It will be very clear now. Everybody will know exactly."


Under baseball's rules, games are official as soon as the trailing team has made 15 outs.

Re: New Rule: Postseason Games Can't Be Shortened By Weather
I wish they'd make a rule that no MLB game could be played in NOVEMBER.....then, they wouldn't have to worry about monsoons or snow or frostbite or whatever....I think the playoffs are one round too long. What do you think? Good to see another happy baseball fan on Mindsay, btw.

Thats an ok rule change. Games that matter should be played 9 innings. I still can't get behind the instant replay in baseball though. It takes away from the spirit of the game, if you ask me.
