I don't buy that the regular season is meaningless.

if you added one more wildcard in each league, and had a 3 game playoff between wildcard teams, the incentive to win your division is a few off days before starting your first playoff game, while the wildcards knock each other off.

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
