From ESPN:
All postseason games will be played to their conclusion under a change to the major league rules approved Thursday by baseball owners.
Owners also voted to use head-to-head records to replace coin flips when determining home-field advantage for tiebreaker games in division and wild-card races.
Games would be suspended if they are called, regardless of how many innings have been played or the score at the time. A suspended game is resumed and played to completion at the same site.
The change also applies to tiebreaker games but not to the All-Star Game.
"I'm delighted," [Bud] Selig said.No complaints here, these are both smart moves by the owners.

One thing I have to say I disagree with is the postponed games being played to completion. I prefer the 5 innings rule. And what if the game gets called with half an inning to play??? Teams have to book new flights and come all the way back just for a few minutes of play??? Sure, it ensures that one team didn't get screwed out of a possible win, but it seems like it's more money and trouble then it is worth.
