They suck? They are one of 4 teams that will continue to the post season, and have done so for the past 13 years....


You can say what you want about money, but they don't suck.

I was pointing out that I called they would catch fire after the A-Rod incident. Not that they suck.

It makes me sick that teams can come in second place in their division and still make the postseason.  It really sucks the life out of a division race when both teams know they're going to make it regardless of which has a better record.

Eff the wild card.

So you think it is horrible when the second place team in a division has a better record than anyone else in baseball except that team in their own division. The wild card exists for a reason. Besides, it is only four frikkin teams!

Now I wish Basketball would reduce the number of playoff teams. It's damn insulting that a team teetering at .500 ball has a legitimate chance at the playoffs.

Then the solution to that would be to have less divisions, not to add playoff rounds.  The only reason they added that was for television revenue, and really, who wants another 4 hour playoff game that ends at 1am and is only the first round anyway.  It probably won't be long before they add even more teams to the playoffs and it ends up just like the NBA.  162 games is more than enough to determine who belongs there and who doesn't.  It's the best team in each Division - not the second best.
