Wheeee! I love this stuff. A few months ago, MLB announced a few tweaks were made to the official rule book. The most notable was that a suspended tie game will now be resumed as part of a quasi-double header the next time the two teams meet. The old rule was that the game was replayed in it's entirety, though player statistics from the tie still counted, which I always found quite odd. I think this new rule is way better. After all, how much would it suck for, say, the Twins to waste a brilliant Johan Santana start because it starts to rain in the 9th with the game tied 0-0?
Anyway, the new rule gets applied today as the Brewers and Marlins settle their 2-2 tie right before they play the regularly scheduled game. Isn't that great!? I knew you'd love it.
In related news, here's your preview for today's Red Sox-Mariners game. Hope you understand Japanese.

I want to officially retract my pick of the Brewers as the wildcard. Suppan won't do as well w/o a good defense behind him, and their whole offense is Fielder and Hall (who apparently isn't hitting yet). So I'm gonna have to go with Philly, despite their poor start. Once Howard gets right they'll be better.
