Yanks and Mets both have 4th best records and nothing to show for it.

Meanwhile the Dodgers with the 8th best record in the NL are playing still.


Even with it's flaws I still like the way MLB produces its Post Season participants.

Good luck to all the teams that made it and their fans.


I also want to see the White Sox win today forcing a 1 game PO with the Twins.


Steve
Good for you.

    I have no problem with the divisonal system and wildcards.
    I just laugh at the worlds Yankee hating population that talk about how AWFUL the Yankees were when IN FACT, just six teams in all of baseball had a better record.

    same thing happens in football all the time, the teams with better records are sometimes left at home while teams from other divisions go with lesse records since they won their division.

    I was hoping the Yanks would get the 4th best record in the AL--they did!

    Considering all the crazy injuries that delpeted their pitching staff and even hitters, they managed to finish with a solid record.

    Any team must be prepared for injuries, but I think the Yankees had more than usual. Also, the Devil Rays finally coming around did not make things easy in the AL East. It was a very tough division.

    The Indians were worse off than the Yankees, they lost their #3 and 4 hitters for most of the season and #3 starter in the first month of the season. There bullpen was also a mess due to injuries. If you are giving the Yankess Kudoe's I think the Indians also deserve some credit also...finishing .500 considering how much they were affected was also an accomplishment.

    And they should change baseball scoring to the most hits wins the game - runs don't matter.

    would be fairer to use hits + walks -errors.....image
