The Ginats were the best team in baseball for the first third or so of the season. They got killed by injuries.

What should happen is the elimination of the divisions and take play a round robin all year within the Al and NL with a little inter league play. Then take the top 4 in each League.

Best of 5 is utter BS..Baseball in all rounds of the playoffs should be Best of 7.

Not that it would've made a difference this year, as KC and SF played somewhat dominant ball despite the relatively low margins of victory, and more games would not have slowed their roll.

So you want a long drawn out playoff like NHL and NBA? MLB has it absolutely perfect as far as their playoff system goes.

It was probably the first time in the last 15 years that ESPN actually recognized that the NHL Finals was actually taking place.



The one and only reason is that it's the two markets that the splooge over to no end - I'd hate to see their reaction to a Knicks/Lakers final these days.

the regular season is a much better indicator of how good a team is (or isn't)

I agree, but if that is the case, why do we have playoffs?...just take the two best teams in each league and there is your world series.

But I agree that all the major sports have dilluted the playoffs for money...
