Ortiz's prompt return to "good health" is keeping him in the running for a $2 million bonus for next year. From today's Boston Herald:

The Reds game last night was suspended due to weather after the top of the 9th was played. They are resuming tonight before the regular game tonight.
Anyone ever seen this before? Last it happened to the Reds they just called the game a tie and then replayed the whole game.

I remember there were some rule changes regarding suspension of games that had gone at least five innings. Maybe a decade aqo?
It could be that they can only call it a tie when it is called at the end of a full inning, since to call it a tie when one team has had an extra half inning on offense is unfair. Or it could be that the game you remember was from before the rule change.
I remember that it used to be that if a team that had been trailing took the lead in the top of an inning but the game was called off before the other team completed the bottom of that inning, they actually would take away the runs scored in the top of that inning and give the win to the other team. That was part of what prompted the rule change when it happened.

Amen!!! KCK, thanks for posting this! I heard about this classy young man this morning, and I was gonna post about this. CLASS ACT!!
First off, my thoughts and condolences to all the people in Boston. You guys are Boston Strong. You'll never break Boston. "Sweet Caroline" is a great song!! Although the only part of the song that I know is "Sweet Caroline. oh, oh,oh".
On a more positive front, it seems like Farrell really has these guys on the straight and narrow. I heard him talk briefly about the Indians and he seems like a good fit for the Red Sox.
Also, believe it or not, Mets are snowed out. Thats right snowed out tonight. That was a sick loss in Game 2 last night in front of 50 fans.
There playing today and I wonder if its going to be snowing again today? If the game gets postponed, I wonder when they are going to reschedule the game?
A quick check of weather.com shows no snow in the forecast, with a current temp of 34° now, and 23° tonight after sundown....
Hearing reports that Jeter is out till at least All-Star break with something like a "cracked ankle"......
And it's NOT the same spot he broke in the playoffs, same foot, but different spot.
Red Sox starters have yet to allow more than three earned runs in a game. It’s the longest streak to start a season since the 1981 Oakland Athletics went 16 games. Sox starters are 8-2 with a 2.32 ERA.
Oh there is more than just me who despises interleague
And since the Twins have lost 2 games this week on account of bad weather (Sunday against the Mets and Wednesday against LAA) on the news and in the paper they were saying its harder to make up games due to teams outside the division only going to a city once now due to the new scheduling because of the oddball setup of the leagues.
But I'm sure you wouldn't mind if you had a day off in August after working 8 in a row only to have that taken away

A lot of teams really cant sell playing in April. I mean look how cold it was in Colorado and Minnesota. I think MLB has to do a better job of playing in your division the first month or so of the season because you if you have a game like the Mets/Twins postponed, how are you supposed to make it up? At least if its in your division you have more chances. Btw, who's bright idea was to build a stadium with no roof in Minnesota, anyways?
