If the game is rained out, does Boston win?

Yes, went the minimum amount of innings.

According to Rule 3.10:

If the game has completed the bottom half of the 5th inning and either team is ahead, the game can be deemed an official game. The leading team is declared the winner, and the game officially counts in standings. (In some Minor League Baseball and college games, this scenario is possible only in the final game of a series.) However, if the game is rained out prior to the completion of an inning in which the visiting team scored one or more runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead, the game is suspended, to be resumed at a later date.

CAN? It's apparently up to the discretion of the umpire-in-chief?

That is ludicrous. It shouldn't be open to interpretation and whether or not a game is meaningful

Well it wouldn't matter anyways because there is absolutely no time to make the game up considering the possible game 163 is scheduled for tomorrow and then playoffs start the day after.

No way in hell they don't get the whole game in. I wish they'd call it but there's no way they will, too much at stake. They'll be there until noon tomorrow if they have to.

The 1 game playoff has to be tomorrow right? If so the ump will have to call it eventually.

Red Sox were able to watch the Rays tie it just before the tarp was removed at Camden Yards.

I understand the desire to finish the game......but is it "fair" to finish this game at 2 in the morning when Boston could potentially have to fly to Tampa for a 4pm game tomorrow with the season on the line.
This entire night is turning into a **** show.

Game on. Reports is weather will not be a factor and the game will go 9.

Interesting way to resume. HBP on the first pitch.

:lol:

Yeah forget my last post, guess there going again (better buckle my seatbelt). I had seen the radar that didn;t seem like the rain was going to let up.....which is why I was thinking it could go to 1-2 in the morning if they were hellbent on getting this in.
