With 3 divisions & a wild card, winning 3 series to become champions, is being div. champ not exciting anymore?
Yanks were the best team in the AL, lost first round to the wild card. STL was the worst playoff team- won it all.
BOS, FLA, LAA- all wild card WS Champs.
I was glad to see the White Sox win it all in '05, they played hard during the season & passed through the postseason, but every WS since '02 has had a wild card play & last year, it was the wild card, who was a great team nonetheless, lose to the div. champ in a slumping division.
As a fan, it just seems like the teams just have a goal of making it to the post season, you don't have to do your best during the season, and then play real ball in Oct.
What's the point of busting your hump and getting tired when you could just be the wild card?
Not to say that its nothing to do something 26 other teams couldn't, but I sort of miss the days when you had to be the absolute best of the div/league during the regular season.
