Last night's Game 1 of the ALCS was delayed twice by rain, and the worst part is that once the game resumed, we had no idea who killed that poor woman on Law & Order. Was it the blue-blood ex-boyfriend? Was it the other ex-boyfriend? WHO WAS IT?

But the game went on despite the multiple delays. Today, the powers-that-be didn't even want to mess with nature.

ALCS Game 2 has postponed. It will be played at 3:19 p.m. Monday.

That's 3:19 CT, which translates to -- carry the one, divide by the remainder -- 1:19 PT and 4:19 ET. Mountain Timers will have to figure it out themselves because I still refuse to acknowledge that the rumored "fourth" time zone exists.

So while it's a drag that the game is postponed, at least it wasn't a messy, muddy nightmare with starting pitchers sitting down for an hour after throwing 40 pitches. Employers in and around the Dallas/Ft.Worth/Arlington metro area should probably expect quite a few cases of the rainout flu, though. The incubation period is usually about ten minutes ago.
