So do I. If he were another JC Romero, then the appeal would have went a different direction. Even if he was hated as much as Manny, it would have gone the other direction.I think it has more to do with him being MVP and VERY popular.
see - Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa

Good idea?
I say yes- it allows other team's to have a chance. The rest of the NL East won't feel helpless when the Phillies jump out to a huge lead by July.
I love the idea, but HATE the idea that baseball in November due to weather is a distinct possibility.
I know that it will NEVER, EVER happen, but I think it is time to think of a 148 game season and start the season on May 1st.
Major League Baseball expanded its playoff format to 10 teams Friday, adding a second wild card in each league.
The decision establishes a new one-game, wild-card round in each league between the teams with the best records who are not division winners, meaning a third-place team could win the World Series.
One game? That's nuts. How about 2 out of 3. Why does Baseball feel the need to do all this stuff?
"One game? That's kind of crazy," designated hitter David Ortiz said. "You know how many things we've got to move around and pack for one game? It'd make more sense for two wild cards to play at least a two-out-of-three series while the other teams take a break for three days because they won their divisions."
I neither like or dislike it, however, i do dislike the idea of it being a 1 GAME event, should be 3.I hear MLB is tinkering with the playoff format and will add two more playoff spots this year.
Good idea?
I say yes- it allows other team's to have a chance. The rest of the NL East won't feel helpless when the Phillies jump out to a huge lead by July.
For me it's not a true test of the best team winning. It's like having a one game World Series .
