Gander where are you?

I haven't heard of any comparisons of this Detroit team to the Chisox last year. Both were faultering down the stretch, while one won the WS, the other one looks strong to take care of it also.

Playoff format - 5 game series! Ask the '84 Cubs how they liked that!

What makes me sick is this 17-21(I'm using the NL in my rant) game series that each division team faces each other a year, while facing interleague games a total of 15 games (6 with interleague rival). That leaves 57 to 75 games left played with the 10-11 teams in their league. Thats an average of 6 or 7 games. I don't like it. I've been preaching this ever since I started to write for a roto-service. Gone are the Great Mets-Cubs rivalries as one example.

The Cards were a pathetic 3-10 against the pitiful Cubs before they won the next 5 of 6 games against them. I'm sure they had enough at the start of the season. 12 games thats enough give me another team.

I love baseball, but its starting to get boring to see the same thing every year. YAWN! How about the Dodgers face the Mets for 12 games in a season and the Giants also. Not the 7 and 6 respectively that they've done in recent years.

I guess those days are long gone.
