the al west needs 5 teams

Tiny by notah8er on Comment 51 comments

time to face facts, kids, the out-of-whack league setup isn't working.  it exacerbates the quirkiness that comes with the crosstown interleague 6 games, which seriously warped the schedule already.

final 13 established

Tiny by notah8er on Comment 12 comments

barring a miracle, we have our 13 potential playoff teams.  every single division in baseball has solidified into a 2-team race, with no one in either league pulling away from the pack enough to guarantee a wildcard WITHOUT a divisional win.

in the al, the race between the m's and yanks is the only story with any suspense or mystery to it.  the angels and bosox are obviously wining their divsions, and there's no way an al central team grabs the wildcard.  

in both leagues, the central is a steaming, funky garbage dump, with the worst teams playing the best baseball.  

the nl race is a bit more interesting, with the nl west number 2 team fighting for space with 3 excellent nl east teams.  

perhaps the most consistent theme is the excellence of offenses in the east in both leagues.  

ichiro,  eric byrnes, the yankees, a crumbling gagne - there could be worse entertainment for a west coast baseball fan.
