I guess I’m going to be contrarian, but I think calling a postseason baseball game over before the 9 innings are played would be a huge drag.

It’s the damn World Series, play all the innings. The alternative - giving someone a weather-shortened win - would taint the result more than resuming the game would. We’d never hear the end of “but we didn’t get to bat!”

Now let’s get the Series moved back into warmer weeks and earlier in the evening.

Gotta agree there. I think the screwy playoff and world series part of the season cost the Tigers a world series win in 06. They finished off the Yankees so quickly that year that they had a 12 day break before facing the Cardinals in the world series and it hurt them bad.
