Opening Weekend in Cleveland has been called off due to incliment weather.it was cold and snowy all weekend,making it impossible to play ball.
Game one of the Indians v. Mariners series was called with one out,one strike away from an official game.The ump called it when,with two strikes against him,the hitter complained about the light snow.
Saturday was supposed to be a doubleheader,but it got cancelled.Sunday was supposed to be a doubleheader,but it got cancelled.Now they are supposed to have a doubleheader on Monday,but it will probally be cancelled to.
I don't ever remember an opening day,much less an opening weekend,being cancelled by the weather.
Not only does this suck for the fans who bought tickets for the game,but it sucks for the Indians when it comes to the standing in the AL Central,baseball's most competitive division.Every game missed is a half-game lost to a winner in the division.
AL Central Standings:
Team/W-L/Winning %/Games Back
Minnesota/4-1/.800/-
Cleveland/2-1/.664/1
Detroit/3-2/.600/1
