I think divisions are retarded. Top 4 teams should make it, because that way you get the 4 BEST teams in the playoffs.

Divisions are in every sport now-a-days..... don't see them going anywhere.

One issue may be how the divisions are jacked up... NL Central has 6 teams, while the AL West has just 4.

I'd propose the following:
Add 2 more teams to the AL and make 4 - 4 team divisions.
Winners of each division go on to the playoffs
2 Wild-card teams also go
2 teams w/ best record overall get a first round bye
remaining 4 teams play a 3 game series (3v6 and 4v5)
winners then play a 5 game series vs the bye teams (1-vs-worst and 2-vs-other regardless of what division they are from)
Winners play each other in a 7 game series
WS is 7 game series also


Obv biggest hurdle is getting 2 more AL teams, but I'm sure the market is there... Nashville? Charlotte? Las Vegas?

Braves if they did 4- 4 team divisions theyde have to eliminate the wildcard. You cant have 12 teams out of 30 in the playoffs, basketball and hockey have already been ruined by this crap now you want to ruin baseball too

[/ QUOTE ]

it would be 12 out of 32 and I see your point but only mildly disagree...

BTW, I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hockey playoffs! Basketball not so much for whatever reason... prolly because basketball playoffs are fairly predictable?

Yeah but dont you see how meanigless/absoltue joke the hockey and basketball regular seasons are

What was the record of the World Series champ last year?

What was the record of the NBA champ?

How about the Stanley Cup champ?

This is just such a dumb argument.
