exactly why a 1 game playoff is one of the dumbest things they could have done.

I mean, I agree that it should be 3 games...

...but this isn't really a good argument against it. It's not like one bad break/missed call/bloop single/etc is costing them this game...they're getting severely outplayed.

1 game playoff is dumb. How do they fix this and keep the extra wild-card, which they won't get rid of? 3-game playoff?

And fukk the braves for blowing the under.

We are gonna suck next year. If Francisco replaces Chipper and Uggla is still around we will break the single season strikeout record.

I'm sure the Royals have outplayed the Yankees before too.

Yeah....I said I agree with the thought.

But "THIS" isn't why. Because if it is you can use "THIS" for no matter what happened today :laugh:

I don't think they wanna do that. I think they just wanted to guarantee those 163rd game moments.

I was telling @mastermind though that the 2nd wild card actually hurt things in the AL. Yankees /O's /A's/Rangers all bunched up and one of em would have had to be knocked out. Instead they're all in (though in fairness, Baltimore and Texas would have needed to play this game anyway to break their tie for the wild card anyway-- it just counts as a playoff appearance for the O's and Rangers now)

People in here talking like baseball is college football :laugh:

The team with the best record has a .605 winning percentage. That means they are losing around 40% of their games against whoever they play. Think about that.

Prado is most likely gonna play 3rd, which will create a hole in LF. Uggla isn't going anywhere, we're stuck with him.
