No that's wrong. The rules changed in 2008. If the game isn't completed today, they'll complete it another day.

It was changed again this year is what the Royals radio crew said. They were reading their rule book on the air and said the Royals lose 2-1 if it doesn't start back up. My guess is that is the case or they would have already called it. I have a feeling the umps don't want to take heat for calling a game that gives the team that is losing the victory. There is no reason for them to wait two hours otherwise. If it was just a suspended game, they would have called it by now don't you think?

Radio crew or the TV crew?

Radio crew said it. They were reading right out of the rule book. They said there was an addition to the rule this year that said if it was the last game of the series they'd revert back to the last completed inning.

Well, I think they will get the game in regardless.

They are doing all they can to, but I just honestly don't think they can wait another 30 minutes. The ump crew has to get out of town. They are driving to Chicago AND there is a cerfew rule. The rain needs to stop, like now, or the Royals are going to lose.

I'm lazy, but replace Key West FL with St. Louis Mo, and Busch Stadium in the background, it's a winner.
