Good time to remind everyone that postponed and cancelled aren't interchangeable words. Postponed means it will be made up later. Cancelled means it won't be made up at all. Bruce, you suck.

Actually  I think there is a case for cancelled to be used. The general rule the English police use is cancelled means gone forever, and in baseball with the game rescheduled months from now, the rosters will both certainly be different and the pitching match up will be different making it a totally different game.

Sorry, not buying it, Today's game has been postponed.

Actually postponed does not mean it will be made up later.  Postponed means it will be rescheduled.  That rescheduled game could potentially be cancelled.

I stand corrected if that is the case. 

But today’s game was postponed, not cancelled. Anyone in baseball media saying cancelled is stupid as they should know the difference.
