You make it sound like the PLAYERS would say NO to this and had the nerve to bring up the COST of travel....


If anything, they would make more money by extending it to a 2-2-1-1-1 by allowing more time to hype it all up and extend the playoffs a bit.

I prefer that format too, but I don’t see how it would work for MLB. There would have to be more travel days, and dragging out the playoffs longer is not a good idea for MLB.

The question for the evening is not whether the Astros will win tonight or not, but, rather, whether they will manage to score a run.

I have no clue if they ever did it like that, I just know if they did it was a century ago.

The World Series used several different formats in its early years. Initially it generally followed an alternating home-and-away pattern, except that if a seventh game was possible, its site was determined by coin toss prior to the sixth game. In 1924 the Series began using a 2-3-2 format, presumably to save on travel costs, a pattern that has continued to this day with the exception of a couple of the World War II years when wartime travel restrictions compelled a 3-4 format (used in 1943 and 1945, but not in the 1944 series, which was all in the same stadium in St. Louis). From the start of the 2-3-2 format through the 2002 season, home-field advantage generally alternated between leagues each year. Prior to the 1994 strike, the National League champion received home-field advantage in even-numbered years and the American League champion in odd-numbered years; these were reversed for 1995–2002 (because 1994 would have been the NL's turn to have home-field, but the World Series was cancelled by the aforementioned strike). That changed starting in 2003.

I don't get why Girardi keeps playing Hicks over Jacoby

Used to do that shite with Soriano over Ichiro when Ichiro was a .340 hitter and Soriano led the AL in strikeouts

Now with him being used today probably counts him out as starting game 7 if needed. I agree that he should have come in yesterday instead of Musgrove.
