As you know, wild card teams have advanced to the last Four World Series with three Wild Card teams winning - Angels '02, Marlins '03, and the Red Sox '04. Is the current post-season format to your liking? Let me know. Personally, I think there should be two wild card teams and these teams should play a one- or three-game playoff to advance to the next round. There the winning wild card team will face the No. 1 seed team. Currently, the No. 1 seed has no better chance or opprortunity to win then the wild card. When you are the best team over 162 games, you ought to be able to 'hopscotch' over the first round. I hate to admit this, but Major League Baseball could learn a little from the NFL.

I totally agree with you. Wild Card should be more "WILD" and the #1 spot should have more of an advantage.
hmmm...as a yankee fan, i was unaware of the wild card concept. why not just dominate and win your division every year and not worry about it? I do agree with your approach to the wild card,though. Sometimes we have to work a little hard in order to make it to October. cheers
All I have to say is: "Why is a Spankmee fan allowed to contribute anything to this site?"
