This just isn't fair! And in the interest of what's good for baseball, we're going to forfeit and let the other guys advance instead." When that happens, I'll be impressed. But I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen. The Cardinals are overall second only to the Yankees in wins since 2000. When you play that way overall, you earn the right to get in the back door now and then. In 1981, the Cardinals had the best overall record in their division and didn't go to post-season due to a ridiculous split-season decision by Bowie Kuhn. Nobody cried for the Cardinals then, and quite frankly, St. Louis owes NOBODY an apology for flying the 2006 World Series Title flag.

My point, which you've admitted has escaped you, is that since the implementation of the wild card, upsets have occured more often in baseball than any other sport. In fact, I'd venture to say they've become the norm. And that, to me, defeats the purpose of having a 162-game season. That, to me, is bad for baseball. Oh, and regarding your rebuttal, I too can refute your proposition by replacing it with superficially similiar yet unequivical propositions and refuting them, without ever having actually refuted your original position: So you're saying you'd prefer to forgo the regular season and have a playoff which included every Major League team because that would be exponentially more wild and unpredictable? See how easy it is? I can also insinuate that because you don't agree with my perspective, that you are somehow abnormal, that you must somehow enjoy sadness over smiles, gloomy skies over sun, and bitter turnips over sweet chocolate. That's called ad hominem, and it means your argument is flawed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-7666161614650269822011-10-29T16:20:42.632-07:002011-10-29T16:20:42.632-07:00Wasn't 2005 a year when the White Sox, the bes...Wasn't 2005 a year when the White Sox, the best team in the AL, Won the World Series?<br /><br />Didn't the Red Sox in 2007 have the best record in baseball and win the World Series<br /><br />Did the Yankees in 2009 have the best record in baseball and win it all?<br /><br />So some years the best regular season win... some years they don't<br /><br />I literally don't know what you are talking about.<br />But I thank you for reading the blogSullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272557466790129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-27802681393387989382011-10-29T15:54:51.671-07:002011-10-29T15:54:51.671-07:00FYI...

Yo...Oh Jeez, just noticed you're a Red Sox fan. You're forever indebted to the wild card. I expect all my points to fall on deaf ears. lol. For the record, I believed in the wild card back then. I thought it unfair that a team such as the Red Sox who were consistently better than the other AL division winners should be prohibited from competing in the playoffs because they happened to play in a tougher division. Unfortunately, all too often we've seen inferior teams get in on the wild card bid either by getting hot for the last few weeks of the season or by seeing another, better team implode, e.g., Braves/Red Sox this year. I think the latter scenario just cheapens baseball.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-34658622236996362222011-10-29T14:05:04.034-07:002011-10-29T14:05:04.034-07:00The idea that the wild card format is bad for base...The idea that the wild card format is bad for baseball isn't a nouveau one. Of course you'd praise the wild card system now because it benefited your team. But in 2005 no one outside of Houston wanted to see the stinking Astros in the WS. The Cards were far and away the best team in the NL, and in baseball overall. More than any other sport, baseball is subject to non-representative outcomes over the short-term, i.e., upsets. Since the MLB implemented the wild card in 1994, 10 wild card teams in those 17 years have gone onto the world series. By comparison, The NFL began their wild card in 1970 and, in these past 41 years, only 9 wild card teams have gone onto the Superbowl. The disparity is even more obvious in the NBa where only 4 8th-seeded teams have beaten the 1st-seeded teams in the history of the sport. Clearly, the best baseball teams lose more often to statistically inferior opponents in a 7, or worse 5, game playoff round than other major sports as is evidenced by the unusually high percentage of baseball wild card teams advancing to the championship. The idea of rendering all of the hard work and subsequent outcome of a 162-game schedule meaningless by allowing more teams into the playoffs is bad for baseball. I'm sorry, but it is. I’m sure you thought so in 2005, and if you’d take your blinders off now, you’d agree. Oh, and this trend will only worsen when Bud Selig has his way and allows a second wild card team into the postseason in the coming years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-50391453850394984102011-10-29T12:18:29.727-07:002011-10-29T12:18:29.727-07:00Wow.

Surely it's good for the Cardinals, but it's bad for baseball. When a team who plays like crap 85% of the season eeks into the playoffs and wins it all, it diminishes the importance of the regular season. Nobody, outside of St. Louis, wanted to see a team peopled with underachievers and throwaway players compete for a title. It's not even like St. Louis is an underdog city. They had 10 previous world championships. Bad for Baseball. The ONLY good I can see coming out of a Cardinals WS win is it'll really piss off that festering boil on the face of baseball known as Nyjer Morgan. Other than that, we're witnessing the culmination of Bud Selig's utter disregard for 100 years of baseball tradition in the name of padding ownership’s pockets. Did the ’63 Dodgers or Yankees have to worry about getting knocked out of a short series against the Colt .45s? Nope. Bc back then Bud Selig was ripping off car lessees rather than baseball fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-77590608977505411162011-10-28T20:25:26.325-07:002011-10-28T20:25:26.325-07:00They did it!They did it!Cheerigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758038094530421569noreply@blogger.com
