This stinks out loud, especially when Bud Selig has strong ties to the Brewers organization. At the very least there's a conflict of interest.

The only acceptable action other than playing "as scheduled" would be to play this week's series in Anaheim, and one of the two Indians-Angels serieses scheduled for Anaheim later this year in Cleveland.

Agree with you........

Although there might be a conflict in scheduling at the Big "A".

My dad lives in Mayfield and says there’s about a foot of snow there.

They addressed that, after a fashion, in an earlier MLB.com story:

One of the issues complicating this predicament is the Angels' inability to simply exchange home series with the Indians. The two teams are scheduled for two more series later in the season, both times in Angel Stadium, on May 8-10 and Sept. 6-9. Advance ticket sales project crowds of 40,000-plus for each of those seven games, making it a logistical nightmare to even consider swapping out those dates.

Thus, any switched Tuesday-Thursday games would become additions to the Angels' home schedule, attended by walk-up ticket purchasers and the home-visitor shares of the gate appropriately adjusted.

BTW, it's Global "Warming" High Priest Algore Goracle's fault.
