To those of you arguing that there is no problem with this POSSIBLE "ruling," would you have a problem with it if it were during the regular season? (And when was the last time a game was suspended after it was official even though one team was ahead. Never.) If your answer is yes, then there is a problem. The rules should not change from the regular season to the WS.

Lighten up, Francis!! Most leagues will have a different set of rules regarding suspension, darkness, etc of the game during the playoffs or championship because this is what determines the champion.
The rule book does not state how long a game can be delayed(rain, etc). During the season there are other schedules to maintain.
