Rain? What rain?

Anyone who doubts that MLB has "encouraged" its umpires to avoid suspended games at nearly all costs needs only to look at tonight's Texas/Seattle game.

Wow. A virtual mud fest. Despite having to delay the game at the start because of the rain, they then conintued as it rained throughout. Fianlly, it took Seattle's F6 to lose his footing in the mud and the Ranger's runner to be unable to control his slide, both in the 9th, to cause another delay, and the the calling of the game.

They are lucky no one got hurt.
