Houston @ Washington Suspended game
 

1) If a guy was on the disabled list or in the minors on the original date, can he play when the game is resumed? My guess: yes

2) If a guy was traded from the Astros to the Nationals (and had not played already in the game) Could he play in the game?

3) Does anyone care who plays for the Nationals?

1. Not sure

2. Yes

3. No

4. If a player is traded from HOU to WAS, and...

4A. Played, but is now out, is he eligible?
4B. Played, and is still in, is he eligible?

I'd have to guess that 4a and 4b would be No's....but, then again...3 is a no soooooo:D

Ok, Nyjer Morgan was on the Pirates when this game started. He will come into this game as a pinch runner for the Nationals for a guy that is now in AAA. That question is answered.

I wonder if Frank Howard will be available to Pinch Hit?http://www.baseball-almanac.com/trea...eld_Howard.jpg

Tiebreaker, Expose vs Lastros?
 

First, the MLB "commish" forces the Astros to play a home game in Milwaukee.
Now proposing the MLB commish forces the Astros to resume a game against the Nationals!
Begs the question, why would MLB commish stick it to the Astros twice? :D

Well, thank God we've got that figured out finally, it was really starting to bug me!:rolleyes:

Well, they have to complete the game. Actually, the Astros started this game in DC and get to finish at home. If anyone is getting it stuck to them, it is the Senators.

Or maybe it's just the rule and nobody's really getting it stuck to them. Besides, the Nationals have been eliminated since May. Who cares?

I think the rule allows a continuation in the other city but it is not required. It makes sense in this instance as the Colt 45's will not visit the Senators again this year.

Bad throw by Tejada on an easy double play.

Expos win Expos win....tHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhe Expos WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNn!

You beat me to it -- I was going to call them the Expos.

If you're a forward-thinking kind of guy, you could call them the Aztecas, since they'll be playing in Monterrey, Mexico inside of five years. :p

Decent park, horrible team, tough market. A crying shame that Montreal lost the team -- when they put good product on the field, the fans went to the park.

During the 1993 playoff run, the Phils and Expos were playing a 3-game set and we drove up from PA to watch the games. The place was packed 3 games in a row. The strike killed the Expos. They went from having the best team in baseball at the time of the strike to having a firesale right after it was resolved.

The original Senators are actually in Minnesota so that is a true statement...

The Browns became the Orioles.
The first Senators became the Twins.
The second Senators became the Rangers.
The Expos became the Nationals.

Guess that kind of put the kibosh on this discussion, because that was all there was worth mentioning in the whole thread.

It wasn't just not having a World Series that harmed them. They released Pedro Martinez after the 1997 season, without approaching him to discuss a contract. They chose not to discuss a contract with Larry Walker after the 1994 season, so he too had no choice but to sign somewhere else.

There were other things that hurt them. Felipe Alou being fired. The team not being able to afford a new ballpark. Jeffrey Loria abandoning the team and stealing all their scouts and coaches. Bud Selig wanting the team contracted. Making it to the top of the wild card race in August of 2003, then going on a huge downhill slide because MLB wouldn't let them call up one player. Playing home games in Puerto Rico, including a three game set against the Blue Jays on Canada Day. It's great that at least they were able to last as long as they did.

I stand corrected.:p

I was only able to see two games at Stade Olympique - I did enjoy them, though.

(Probably because I was able to walk up game day on a Saturday and Sunday and sit in the fourth row and third row, respectively, between HP and 3B.)

I did think they got jobbed with the PR games and was sad to see them 'move'.

I used to enjoy watching Andre Dawson, Gary Carter and Rock Raines when they were with the Expos. Stade Olympique was never a really good baseball yard, the artificial turf was just brutal. The Padres always complained of it.

I just watched a great game. Jonathan Sanchez no-hit the Padres. Brian Runge had the plate. 1st no-no in 33 years for the Giants since The Count threw his in '76.

U1 Tom Hallion totally blew a fan interference call against the Padres, as a fan clearly reached well over the fence in foul ground in right field and caught the ball in front of the fielder.

Almost a perfect game except for Juan Uribe's clank in the eighth.

You were able to get into the third and forth row? The lower-level seats were hard to get unless you went to a scalper. Fairly high priced and often sold to season ticket holders. General admission of $8 wasn't bad, but the nosebleeds were rarely open. Did you find the "ushers" to be very impolite and miserable?

Brian was a little generous with the called third strike on the last batter.

Edited to add: Not that that's a bad thing.

Yeah, I think he wanted a no-hitter for himself, too!
