NEW YORK (AP)—With less than a month to go before opening day, baseball at last decided who’s in and who’s out come October.
Now, even a third-place team can win the World Series.
Major League Baseball made it official Friday, expanding the playoff format to 10 teams by adding a wild-card club to each league....................
MLB expands playoff format from 8 teams to 10 - MLB - Yahoo! Sports
Now here's some more from this article that make me mad
..........The additions mean 10 of the 30 MLB teams will get into the playoffs. That’s still fewer than in the other pro leagues—12 of 32 make it in the NFL, and 16 of 30 advance in the NBA and NHL................
So is baseball going to become like Basketball where players don't really try hard because so many teams make the playoffs ?
.....................Also, a tweak: For the 2012 postseason, the five-game division series will begin with two home games for lower seeds, followed by home games for the higher seed. After that, it will return to the 2-2-1 format previously used..............
Why win you division ? the lower seed get the home games first ????????
............If the World Series goes to Game 7 this year—as it did last season, when the wild-card St. Louis Cardinals won the championship—it would be played Nov. 1...............
Cant wait to see a Nov game in Minn or Boston LOL
