The World Series is too long a-coming. Baseball has a real problem on its hands. November is too late. It reduces the fall Classic to a two city event. To speak nothing of the potential weather. Football, college and pro; basketball, college and pro...the country has moved on sports-wise. The Giants clinched on Sunday. Why are they waiting until Thursday to play? I hate to say it. I love baseball. But MLB needs to find a way to speed up the post-season.

Yeah, really. The World Series should be between the two teams with the best record. With the current system, it doesn't always work out that way.

More doubleheaders. If each team played 4-5 doubleheaders a year, that would shave maybe a week and a half off the schedule, which would keep the World Series in mid October. Doubleheaders are (were) great.
the only way to guarantee that would be to revert to a system that hasn't existed in 40 years - no divisions. back in the sixites, there were only 16 teams...now there are 30....would pretty much eliminate 24 or so teams and their fans from interest by mid-August. so, please submit a better proposal.

Go back to the 154 game schedule, play some double headers. I like the current format with the postseason though. The only thing that I would change is that there should not be any divisions. the top four teams with the four best records should make the playoffs. I beleive it worked out that way this year but it does not always work that way. Get rid of this Red Sox-Yankee 18 or 19 games against each other a year. Play an even schedule and get ri of inter-league play. Other than that I am fine with what they do.

Brutal loss for the Giants last night. Bruce Bochy left himself open to a world of second guessing with his manage every inning like it's the seventh game of the world series mentality. Hey Boch. Here's a suggestion. Let your team just play....and for fuks sake leave Matt Cain in the game.

The Twins are getting a beating like a red-headed stepchild.
After tonight they will only have Brett Favre to pick on.
