such a shame that Pirates Reds will come down to one game after their grt reg seasons

[wagerjunkie]

such a bullshit format. if your gonna have the two wild card format. no play in bullshit. 3 game series.

both of these teams can be considered two of the best teams in the NL and they gotta play a play in game?

awful.

[wagerjunkie]

yeah I know, "win the division"

it ain't their fault they all play in the same damn division though.

LOVE Iowa tommorow.

No one gives a shit about either team.

“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” - M.S.P.

its a shame the braves have to play a team that cant win their division

[floridagolfer]

You're just figuring out NOW that a one-game playoff is a joke? Can't get rid of Bud Seling fast enough.

[Boner_18]

Great regular seasons? With 90 wins? With a team that went 13-15 in August a and barely .500 in sept? These are the bottom of the top of the NL - they deserve a one game play in.

its an attempt at creating artificial excitement like what really happened two years ago on the last day of the season when the braves and sox got knocked out and rays made HUGH comeback vs yankees to get in

that was real excitement

this is not

one of these two teams should not be in the playoffs

Its why baseball is a dying sport

Poor management of the league and games take too long

ya this will never ever happen again but stinkker

when u got 3 teams in a division 20 games over 500...especially when they all play each other so much...which means they have to have incredible numbers outside the division after beating up on themsevles (dont have the numbers in front of me).

its still fkn stupid for it to come down to 1 game. 3 game series.

if they tied two years ago itd have been a one game playoff just the same

except they might not tie so the better of the two gets fukked in that scenario

if you have to have a 5th team then yes, do best of three

if youre going to let everyone in the fukkin playoffs then why play 162 anyway?

I guess my opinion is just altered this year because there is no clear run away favorites and there is so much parody. they are all so evenly matched in the NL.

IMO the Braves will be one and done again most likely. rely too much on HR ball. only guy who hits for average is Chris Johnson and Simmons

[PickoMoff]

If there wasn't an extra wildcard added either one may not have had a chance at all! They should be glad!

CARDINALS NATION!

i like it, not just saying that cuz the pirates are in it either.

start the playoffs off with a do or die situation, reward the teams for winning the division.
