Dark Angel Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 If MLB had gone to the NFL playoff format last year. This is how it would look.AL Wild-Card Series (3 games)(6)Athletics vs. (3)Yankees(5)Indians vs. (4)Red Sox BYES(2)Angels(1)White SoxNL Wild-Card series (3 games)(6)Marlins vs. (3)Padres(5)Phillies vs. (4)Astros BYES(2)Braves(1)CardinalsJust like in the NFL, The highest seed will play the 2 seeds while the lowest seed plays the 1 seeds. What do you think freinds I think it's good idea how about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZzyzx41 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Who cares. The Padres might not have beaten the Cardinals but they sure would've gotten past the Mets OR Marlins. Either way they advance. So, no need to fight. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast! Latest Episode 273: The Color BlinkyLatest Photo Upload: January 7, 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodAtFirstBite Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 NO! 4 teams per league is enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thing2 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 yes, it would give a chance to those teams that came so close but not enough (indians), but probably a bad idea. notice how long four rounds of the nba playoffs take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I like this idea, only because the Blue Jays are in the AL East. The Blue Jays would have made the playoffs in 2003 using this format, I think, and are inline to make it this year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Go tell the Red Sox, Cubs, Cardinals, and Yankees front offices that it would be an excellent idea to rob them of six home games and the money that comes with them.

The_Admiral Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Baseball's playoffs are perfect. Don't touch a thing. No best-of-7 LDS, no fourth round, and NO north/south/east/west/get rid of the wild card crap. If I see one more proposal about how we need four divisions of four and the wild card ruins baseball... ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Double-headers are hell on players, and if that accurred, expect more injuries. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

CC97 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Well of course you'd say that, there's no other way the Blue Jays are gonna get past the Arms Race. 2½ back after playing 20 games against the "big three" of NY/Bos/Chi without our #2 starter, with another starter at 1-8, with Halladay missing starts, with another starter on the 15-Day DL, and with our can't miss bullpen doing terrible (aside from Ryan).Yeah, we can't get past. That many double-headers? I don't think so. Double-headers are hell on players, and if that accurred, expect more injuries.They used to play scheduled doubleheaders all the time, I don't see why today's athletes are any more special. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 If you really need to expand the playoffs, expand it to 5 per league and make the two Wild Card teams play off against each other, best of 3. This makes it more of a reward to win your division, as you get that extra three days or so of rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm pulling for the Blue Jays to shake things up, I don't think we need more than 8 playoff teams for a 162-game season. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
