The day off is for travel, not weather. There is a built in travel day for every game between sites. The only time they would not use the travel day is during the 5 game series and if a game is rained out. The game was not rained out and they played. Life will go on.

Yeah, the point is and was that MLB had built in two off days in Denver, neither of which conflicted with the NFL.
Last night's game could have been easily rescheduled to Tuesday and been played in better weather and no NFL Conflict.
Consider that the best TBS post season baseball rating so far is a 5.5 which is less than half the rating of a regular season game on Sunday night on NBC.
And tonight the Red Sox and Indians and the D-Backs and Rockies will overlap the Giants/Atlanta NFL game.
The number of TV households in Boston., Cleveland, Phoenix and Denver total 7.2 million, less than the total of those in the New York City area.
So my point remains, why play a game in the rain against the NFL when there was away to avoid both?
