FAQs

At least I think they should be.

Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

Wow, I didn't realize that there was another game suspended due to a lighting problem in 2001. I happened to be at this one:

http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2001/B07180SDN2001.htm

Which was very entertaining, because instead of just going out, a transformer in the lighting structure actually exploded in a ball of fire, which I happened to be looking at. The "1.8-header" the next day featured Randy Johnson setting the relief strikeout record (16, in 7 IP) while also providing the only time (I believe) that he and Curt Schilling pitched in the same real (not All-Star) game for the same team, other than this time, which some of you may be more familiar with:

Game 2 also featured a bench-clearing brawl AND a Trevor Hoffman 4-run-lead, 1 out save. Excitement!

And since the suspension was before the 5th, you could use your rain check!

2 - Since it was a Wednesday night game before a day game of a 2-game series (one of those silly ones they always do just after the ASB), I was able to walk directly to the ticket office inside the Q and pick up a ticket for the next day. Fortunately it was the summer that I spent a month in San Diego helping my sister out with moving into and setting up her new place at the time, so I had nothing else to do that day anyway (and getting in and out of the parking at the Q for baseball games was always easy, even with 40K people there.)

COOL! Neutal locations, suspended games, ARod actually hitting, this 07 season is so delightfully weird already and it's only been a week and a half!

...I'm assuming both teams will start the suspended game with short benches, players in the same positions as where they left off, etc? Can the teams actually be made to put the same pitchers out there or will the managers (be forced/choose) to put in different ones?

Check the date there little fella. The game's over! The Brewers won it in the 13th.

A suspended game could be resumed months later with entirely different rosters for both teams. The only restriction is that you can't bring back players who have already been subbed for.

The Brewers won the regular game too.
