Well, in Selig's defense, since he can't bring himself to do something smart like ending baseball season before football starts, he wants to now get to where they wait and play the WS after the Super Bowl.

The same number of teams in each league and each division? What a concept.

Baseball is ridiculous for having that inequity for so many years.

Now if they get rid of the DH and add a salary gap, I might pretend to care a little more.

WGAF. Didn't even know MLB still existed. :p

If I were still a Dodgers fan, then I'd be pleased about Kershaw (and possibly Kemp).

That fact that you know who Kershaw & Kemp are means you know more than most Dodger fans. The fact that you used to be a Dodgers fan means you used to be a c*ckh*le. The fact that you aren't a Dodgers fans anymore doesn't mean you aren't still a c*ckh*le.

I'm glad to see that you've taken up the same habit as other posters who put their names at the end of their posts.

Extra wild cards coming to MLB playoffs


GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Major League Baseball, after month-long negotiations with the players union, will finalize the 2012 postseason format as soon as Thursday, expanding the playoffs by two teams.
"We'll have an answer in the next couple of days,'' Michael Weiner, executive director of the Major League Players Association, told USA TODAY on Wednesday.
The expanded format was approved for 2013 in November, but Commissioner Bud Selig strongly pushed for the extra wild-card round to begin this year. The difficulty was trying to squeeze in the one-game, wild-card round playoff game, with the regular-season and World Series schedules already finalized.

I don't like this at all. This move was entirely made to put more emphasis to winning the division. I know other sports have done it but I don't like the idea of a play-in game to basically make it into the bracket. What if you have a 95 win wild card team who ends up playing against an 82 or 83 game winner and the 95 win team loses? Plus the wild card team then is entering the divisional round at a distinct disadvantage not having their #1 pitcher available to start that series.
