oh and i only follow mlb for the playoffs. i fucking hate the regular season. to me baseball has to be one of the most boring, longest seasons. just aint my thang.
but once the playoffs hit im all over this shit, idk weird huh?
whats the point of having the extra wild card spot if its only a 1 game playoff? and why does the mlb have a best of 5 in the first round? they play twice as many games as every other sport but they play best of 5 for one series. why?
my thoughts exactly, it's so shitty for the braves they had 6 more wins than the cardinals. there should only be one game playoffs if there is a tie for a wildcard spot or division title
Baseball's whole deal is that the Regular season is forever, from April-September... and then the playoffs are October only. They don't want to go to November, because they don't think you can play in inclement weather (which is slightly true)
Baseball is super traditional. it's like making changes to the catholic church...
Verlander is good.. Especially when the umpire is calling strikes 4 inches off the outside of the plate. I hate to bitch about umps, but that was obnoxious.
I'm mostly annoyed by the format where we start on the road. We better win tomorrow... that happens, and it changes the entire series huuge.
