I think it has more to do with regional rivalries. Houston can now be more of a rival to the Rangers. Brewers keep their solid rivalry with the Cubs.

Oh I agree with you on this premise, just thought Kornheiser made an interesting point that I hadn't heard from
anyone else in print or on the radio. Milwaukee is also developing a nice little rivalry with the Cardinals.

Go ahead, Bud Selig, you used car salesman bastard, keep on tinkering with the greatest sport ever invented. Eventually, you will succeed in destroying it completely, and your legacy as a world class, first class, Nobel Prize winner in jackassibility, son of a bitch will be cemented.

Baseball does not need more playoff teams. Baseball needs fewer playoff teams. The wildcard is, and always has been, a travesty. YOU DO NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BY LOSING A DIVISION!

This news is sickening to me.

It warms my heart to see that you are laughing so heartily. I am sure that every little bit of joy helps.

I fear, however, that I cannot join you in your merriment. I am remaining quite stoic because I have no idea what you are talking about.

They need a Wild Card since there are only 3 divisions per league. I'd be just fine with them leaving
things they way they are.

Isn't the season long enough? They are going to be playing the WS on Thanksgiving soon enough.
