The Baseball Playoffs Are Stupid

It's time to go back to the two teams a league format. Yeah, maybe it's nice to have your team in it for longer, but the Series is too often not the best teams . Detroit and St Louis? And St Louis is winning? Who guessed that and who cares? Every prognosticator I heard said the Yankees were going to destroy. Then after they lost it was the American League was going to kick whatever ass made it up from the National. Well, guess what. No one knows what they're talking about and you can't blame them, it's just that baseball's totally random.

Compare it to basketball or football. The Yankees were the best team in the league by winning 60% of their games. Just over half. In basketball it was 78% and football it was 88%. In those leagues the best teams really are much better and it shows in the playoffs, where the team that usually wins is one of the top 4 teams. Not so in the sport where the best team wins 3 out of every 5 and their best hitter only gets a hit every 3 times they bat. Getting to the post season is tough, but if you do it seems to pretty much a flip of the coin who wins. That's why we'd rather talk about the latest methods of cheating. Go Tigers!!! Go Pine Tar!!!
