You think Major League Baseball wanted the Yankees and Orioles to play that game last night?

Four-hour rain delay. Rain still falling at first pitch at 11 p.m. Rain falling heavy at times throughout the game, which doesn't end until after 2 a.m. The two teams then had to play a 1 p.m. game today.

I know scheduling can be tricky sometimes, but, seriously, MLB couldn't find a day for these teams to play? I'm concerned as much for the fans as the players. I know the Yankees did a good job — as they always do — in offering free 2012 tickets for those who had tickets to last night's game, but MLB making these fans wait in the rain for seven hours is indefensible.

Money is one thing. Common sense is another.
