Keith Olberman look-alike Paige Miller, said to Tom Young:
 PM> The usual reasons for suspending a game are: lighting failure,
 PM> sprinkler malfunction, curfew. One famous game was suspended due to pine
 PM> tar.
Hmmm... methinks that the "pine tar" game was not *suspended*, rather 
*protested*.  Once the protest was ruled upon, they went back to the point of 
protest and finished the game.
 PM> Games are NOT suspended because of weather. Games are STOPPED
 PM> because of weather. If the game is a legal game (losing team had 5

Which is precisely why I was temporarily confused as to how they got 164 
games in a 162 game season.  I figure it was probably because of playing into 
the darkness, or late night curfew.
