Which is a horrible idea. Pretty soon the regular season will be meaningless like it is in the NBA and NHL. - Krusty Sep 2, 06:52 14
- We're a long long way from that. 162 reg games with max 19 playoff games is by far the most lopsided. - TFox Sep 2, 06:55 13
  - I don't think we are if MLB does what it wants over the next few years. - Krusty Sep 2, 06:58 11
    - of course. but it all means more money, which is the only thing that really matters....nm - x Sep 2, 07:03
    - and MLB's regular season is already twice as long as the NHL or the NBAs -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 07:01
    - I don't buy that the regular season is meaningless. - groiny Sep 2, 07:00 8
      - I don't like that idea either. I hate the short playoff series. I don't believe the best team wins in a short series. - Krusty Sep 2, 07:07 7
        
        7 days is too long of a bye period, you want a max of 3 days off for playoffs. - groiny Sep 2, 07:09 6
        
        I'd rather teams have a long rest and a seven game series than a short series. I *hate* the idea of a short series in the playoffs. - Krusty Sep 2, 07:11 5
        
        same. But I could handle a 1 gamer just because it is like a tie breaker rather than actual series -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 07:11 3
        
        the problem with that idea is Justin Verlander. - groiny Sep 2, 07:13 2
        
        Exactly. A longer series will gives us a more true idea of which team is better. -- nm - Krusty Sep 2, 07:16 1
        
        3 games is sufficient. - groiny Sep 2, 07:17
        
        you would, I imagine baseball players would not. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 07:11
  - yikes! nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 06:56
