from a Macro perspective, this is all about growth w/out actual team expansion.
More teams in the PO's and more overall PO gms= more $.
It's a muted victory, but if the no-win choice is between expansion and a one gm tweak to the PO system...then I'll take it.
My preference for them to expand the Divisional series instead of the extra WildCard team is really more about trying to avoid contributing to that "crap shoot" label of the PO's.
Just don't like the increased prospects of an 84 win team winning the WS.
lol...yes, that would be preferable

I'd prefer that they just make the Divisional Round a best-of-seven instead of the best-of-five

x2. And our newer ball park is beautiful. They should just stop. Baseball shouldn't be in a dome or in snow.

- safeco and minute maid parks are both beautiful places with retractable roofs. - nuschler 2011-11-18 10:57:47 (26 views)

agree about the AL East. intentially or not, this format pretty much guarantees

checkout the last 5 season standings in the AL if they had used this system.

that's crazy...but I guess upon further review

good points. if this is really about knocking down the wcards, then a 3-game series would really

- that's true - I'd be down for 3 gms, but everything I've heard suggests it's gonna be the one-gm deal - JoeDaddy 2011-11-17 11:29:12 (20 views)

agree. i'd go with a three game series.

- +1 def a 3 game series would be cool but I'm Ok with WC's coming out of the same division as long as they have the best records ie.. - MoonMan 2011-11-17 10:34:34 (36 views)
-
also, i don't think both wild card teams should be able to come from the same division.

see...now that would make things interesting

Just stick the Yanks and Sox in their own division already
- tajackamo 2011-11-17 17:55:41 (19 views)

yeah. somewhere like the AL East!

the yankees and the red sox are automatic wild card teams if they don't legitimately make the playoffs.
