4/22/13, "More snow delays," HardballTalk.nbcsports.com, Calcaterra
"It’s almost May, but apparently someone forgot to tell that to Minneapolis and Denver.
Tonight’s game between the Twins and Marlins has been postponed due to a Minnesota snowstorm. They’re going to try to do a doubleheader tomorrow, but there’s more cold and snow in the forecast.
At the moment there is supposed to be a Braves-Rockies game tonight, but it’s 36 degrees in Denver
at the moment with snow in the forecast.
It’s just the weather and not much can be done about it, but the existence of unbalanced schedules and constant interleague play make scheduling makeup games really tough."
