Baseball's Owners Pass Two Necessary Rule Changes

We discussed this possibility a few days ago, but it's certainly worth noting that the baseball owners have done the right thing and amended two of their rules.

All postseason games will now be played to their entirety, whether it be nine innings or extra innings. Contrary to what the old rules said -- apparently, Bud Selig was going to neglect said rules in Game 5 of the World Series anyway -- games will not be complete after the trailing team has had five chances at bat.

All regular season games will still use the five at-bat rule -- to specify, this means half-innings, not individual player at-bats -- and the All-Star game will keep the old rule as well.

Also, tiebreaker games -- such as the Twins vs. White Sox this past season -- will now be hosted by the team with a regular season head-to-head advantage. The old method was to use a coin flip to determine the home team. Really, I can't understand why they changed this. I would love to have part of my favorite team's fate decided on a freaking coin flip. It's not like 162 regular season games should mean anything.
