Its got to be about smart baseball when you dont have the money (or your not willing To put up the money)to buy out all the good talent.Al Leiter's Bullpen Catcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689195573801645992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278533327344154144.post-37998139561653903472009-09-28T14:41:50.749-04:002009-09-28T14:41:50.749-04:00THE YANKEES CLINCH THE AL EAST, THEEEEEEE YANKEES ...THE YANKEES CLINCH THE AL EAST, THEEEEEEE YANKEES CLINCH!The Commish!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278533327344154144.post-57070580001148162602009-09-27T23:02:42.633-04:002009-09-27T23:02:42.633-04:00Lauren ,funny about that woman...I'm from West...Lauren ,funny about that woman...I'm from West Islip! Chris Angel(the magician) lives in west Islip...nice town, very bougie. You want gossip on her,too? I never heard anything about Staten Island yet...like Susan Molinari. Don't worry I already know shit on her!<br /><br />At Christina, they won't get rid of the divsions or the unbalanced schedule. Can you imagine if that overrated piece of shit team, the Twins ,had to play Boston and NY, 36 times a year? they would be a joke. Better yet,if the Jays had a chance at a balanced schedule they would have been in the playoffs since 1993 at least 5 times! Buster Olney always mentions how the Jays do well enough to compete BUT not enough to get in and that is a complaint...what is the solution?<br /><br />They will not go back to no divisions so that is a given. I have a controversial tweak. There would be five teams in the playoffs with two Wild Cards. The teams with shittiest record regardless of winning the division or not would play each other in a so-called WIld Card playoff. Best of three before the regular playoffs. That would avoid a farce like 2006 where a Cards team that won 82 games was given the World Series. I also don't believe a WIld Card like Boston should be penalized. They have won over 90 effing games so far , the shitty Central has two teams that won't come close to 90 wins! The Tigers, Twins and White Sox have it too easy. Under my system, you might win a decision BUT you have to win more games than a Wild Card team.Bruno Van Rottweillernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278533327344154144.post-35132654360495443922009-09-27T10:41:05.728-04:002009-09-27T10:41:05.728-04:00http://snipurl.com/s60clhttp://snipurl.com/s60clLauren in S.I.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278533327344154144.post-46047379252434169632009-09-27T10:24:35.927-04:002009-09-27T10:24:35.927-04:00Lauren, I mean, sorry.Lauren, I mean, sorry.Al Leiter's Bullpen Catcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689195573801645992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278533327344154144.post-44021095622134084392009-09-27T10:24:12.833-04:002009-09-27T10:24:12.833-04:00Laura, the link didnt work for meLaura, the link didnt work for meAl Leiter's Bullpen Catcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689195573801645992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278533327344154144.post-37233059429017344722009-09-27T10:23:54.731-04:002009-09-27T10:23:54.731-04:00Elias, what if the two best records comes from the...Elias, what if the two best records comes from the same division?<br /><br />Shouldnt the top the teams in each division get a bye?<br /><br />If you do it this way, then there is no purpose for having divisions within leagues....Al Leiter's Bullpen Catcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689195573801645992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278533327344154144.post-84701424060898779172009-09-27T08:40:43.026-04:002009-09-27T08:40:43.026-04:00Here's a photo of ARod's future wife

I don't agree with not giving the wild card team a home game in the playoffs.<br /><br />Why not keep the schedule the same. Add 1 more WC in each league. The 2 wild cards play a 1 game playoff to see who makes the playoffs.<br /><br />I'd also consider making the division series best of 7, but they'd need to eliminate some of the extra off days in the playoffs.<br /><br />My idea gives teams an incentive to win the division. It also tells the wild card not to be content with the wild card. They could have an 8 game lead over the other wild card team, but miss the playoffs if they lose the 1 game playoff.<br /><br />It also allows more teams to have a chance at making the playoffs w/o watering down the playoffs with too many playoff teams.Kylenoreply@blogger.com
