ive hoped they would expand the post season for a while. lower the regular season to 154 games, and add 4 teams each league. thats my idea.

what do you guys think.

They need to add a few more teams to the post season, but would these 4 new teams be expansion teams?

I would also like to see baseball try out a system where only say the top 8 teams regardless of division make the playoffs, (or just go back to conference play)

no no, not expansion teams. instead of a 4 team format, it would go to an 8 team format. that might not even be the expansion they go with, just my idea.

aren't you one of those tradition people? what happened.


Also, if this change gets made, can we call it the Toronto - Baltimore fairness rule? Because that's what it is.

i am traditional with college football. but shoot, the current format is only 15 years old. not much tradition there already.

nope. just expanded playoff format. if that happens, i assume a national league central team will have to come over to the AL (probably AL west)

did you know the current 16/14 format is because of inter-league play? why they cant have 15/15, i have NO idea.

baseball will expand to 6 playoff teams a league, with the top 2 seeds getting byes. the first round will be a best of 3. this starts in 2012.
