re: DAT 11/2: Astros (Javier) @ Phillies (Nola) 7:03 CT FOX

Today the Astros will win.

We will force this thing to go back to Houston. And we will win.

I stand by my complaints that a team barely over 500 shouldn't be in the playoffs. You play 162 games in a year to separate the good from the bad. Increasing the number of playoff teams does not create a better product. It allows for situations like this... where a team that really isn't that good, gets hot at the right time. If this is how we are going to do the playoffs then why play 162 games?

I also stand by my statement that Dusty Baker is a screw up and is wasting the window of opportunity that this team has.

I also stand by my statement that the 2-3-2 set up is ridiculous. It should be changed to 2-2-1-1-1. The 232 is not a home field advantage for the better team. There is no reason the 2nd best team should get 3 straight games at home.
