Tell us how many major league seasons have you played?

I'm not sure why you're so sensitive about it, but what is the significant difference? Hardly anyone plays the full 162 games anymore in the first place.

If you've got 182 days to play 154 games, with a 4 day break for the all star game, you're still going to play 7-8 straight days, on average. Under the current set up you're playing 10-11 straight days. You can argue that is significantly different I guess, but are you really any better off on your 7th straight game than you are on your 10th straight game?

My point is that it isn't a significant change to the game as it stands right now. I don't know what you're trying to argue.
