[ QUOTE ]
divisions as is..... 154 game season

wild card and wild card runner up play a 1 game playoff

then divison series is seven games

pennant and world series should be nine games

right now baseball has a long meaningful season, where undoubtedly the best teams get to go to the postseason. admittedly, the postseason can be a bit of a crapshoot.

what you are proposing is a shorter season and a crapshoot playoff for getting to the postseason. in return you think that a longer series for the championship will be welcomed by the fans because the fans care if the better team in the WS actually wins.

i prefer the system that we now to the proposed one. fans like rooting for their own team, especially in august and september during playoff races. not for someone elses team because they are in the ALCS.

having said that, i would expand the playoffs to more teams.
