What do you think?
Jerry Crasnick has a cool article on ESPN.com discussing the set-up of MLB playoffs. I like the way that the playoffs in baseball are set up. The season is long, and I like that the playoffs - in relation to say the NBA or NHL which have 16 teams - are short. However, I've never known a different system. I'd like to know what people think who have seen MLB playoffs before and after realignment.

i'm very old school.
i think that the winner of the american league should play the winner of the national league - no divisions, two leagues. how many times has the team that has performed the best through 162 games been knocked out before the world series with all of these playoff series?
I am with my older bro
when i got to see my one and only, so far, world series game, it was al vs. nl, no playoffs necessary, and it was awesome...too much money to be made, but i would like to see less teams in the playoffs in every sport
Ok, this year the Red Sox and Indians tied with the best record in the AL, while the Diamondbacks had the best NL record. Under the 'old school' system, would the Sox and Indians play a winner-in game to see who would face the D'Backs? Or would it be head-to-head record? The Red Sox won that 5-2.
Now lets not forget, gentlemen, that we might still be talking about a curse right now if it weren't for the wild card.
Go Rocks!
they would play a tiebreaker game. since i am not a red sox fan, the curse could have lived on.
