I'd be happy with a 3 game series.I still don't understand the 1 game playoff. That's the dumbest thing the MLB has done in a long, long time. Might as well just have a damn coin flip to determine the winner for as much as 1 game in baseball tells you. I mean shit, the Astros could win a 1 game playoff against someone if you let them have a chance. Hell, a 100-loss team(really, really bad) still wins almost 40% of their games.
You can't have all of the other playoff teams waiting for 3 days (or more depending on travel days between the two ballparks) while the two wild card teams duke it out. Also if you make it 3 days you have a scenario where the wild card teams could pitch their best guy in game 1 of that series and have him be ready again for game 1 of the division series (if you assume there's at least one travel day mixed in there). We've all seen what impact not playing for several days can have on a team, like if they sweep their LCS then have to wait for 5 days before the World Series starts then suddenly they look like a team that just started spring training because their timing is off. They added a second wild card because it had become very apparent over the years that an inordinate amount of wild card teams were going deep into the postseason, even winning it all, because they never got a break and had to play meaningful games the whole way. The one game playoff provides an actual penalty for being a wild card team and also screws up their pitching rotation so that they can't pitch their best guy twice in the division series.I'd be happy with a 3 game series.
When your team gets around to winning a division you'll feel differently.Yeah I'm OK with all that stuff.
Probably. Right now I just want as much Pirates playoff baseball as possible=PWhen your team gets around to winning a division you'll feel differently.
Oh I hear ya. I actually have this scenario in my mind that I think would be pretty fun to watch, no telling if it will happen or not. Atlanta finishes with best record, they play the winner of the wild card playoff (I'd hate to see what I consider the 3 best teams in the NL have to eliminate one another so quickly). Cards host Dodgers. Pirates beat Reds in wild card, Pirates beat Braves, Cards beat Dodgers. Cards host Pirates for NLCS. I think that NLCS would be very fun to watch, and very tense. Plus it would be very realistic for me to drive back and forth and go to all of the games. Only thing easier than that from a travel perspective would be Cards/Reds I guess, but I fucking hate the Reds. They can die in a fire for all I care.Probably.

Speaking of! Liriano/Burnett/Cole/Morton is a pretty sweet playoff rotation. If they can not shit the bed against the Reds they'll be a threat in a series with any team.
Right back at you.I fucking hate the Reds. They can die in a fire for all I care.
What happened last year at a Giants game? If you are referring to the beating that took place that year that was a Giants fan at a Dodgers game.The Giants just can't handle being a shitty team. San Francisco sporting events are dangerous if you're visitor. I've experienced shit thrown at me at Giants games before when the Reds have been in town, but this is out of control. It's an every year occurrence anymore.
