I wonder if that had anything to do with the commissioner having owned the brewers.

I think it has more to do with him being MVP and VERY popular.

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 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.

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.

The only time that baseball is really fun to watch is during a pennant chase,or wildcard chase like with the Cardinals & the Braves last year,& the playoffs when the games really count......although,baseball is still far more interesting to watch than Cricket. I still can't figure out WTF they are doing if & when I watch Cricket.

It's official...

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."

For me it's not a true test of the best team winning. It's like having a one game World Series .

I neither like or dislike it, however, i do dislike the idea of it being a 1 GAME event, should be 3.

I too dislike the idea of the WS in November,

Did anyone see that Matt Kemp was named the MLBNet #1 in the top 100 players right now?

Maury Brown at the Biz of Baseball says while we know MLB will announce expanded Wild Card Playoff games today, we don’t know which network will air them.

Bob Wolfley at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wonders if another network will join Fox and TBS in airing the MLB Postseason this year.

The luck of the pirates, Burnett bunted a ball off the plate and broke his orbital bone, he'll be out 4 to 8 weeks.

I see there are some spring training games on MLB today, looking toward to it.
