They are saying, "Never."

Owners rule on playoff weather

There has never been a rain-shortened game in the postseason, and now there never will be.

Commissioner Bud Selig announced the sport will enact a rules change stating that postseason games cannot be shortened because of bad weather.

"All postseason games, All-Star Games ... will be full-length affairs, and the rule will be so written," Selig said Thursday following an owners' meeting.

Selig said the change also will apply to tiebreaker games that decide division titles and wild-card berths.

"Any game that has significance for the postseason," he said. "It will be very clear now. Everybody will know exactly."

Why do I have a feeling that something else is going to come up that will need another rule change in the future?
