My statement was just that one game series suck, and that wild card teams have never played to a sensible playoff system. You're stuck between one game playoffs (which IMO suck) and playoffs that don't punish wild card teams.

I'm not advocating a 4 team playoff, just lamenting that the current options aren't ideal.

As long as you have divisions, you will have unequal divisions, which is why you need wild cards.  SF i think had a 100+ win team that did not make the playoffs when it was one of the two best teams in baseball.

I also love the fact that the world now sees that Ned is a horrible manager and that #Yosted is trending world wide.

I love the drama of a one and done game, too bad Yost panicked tonight because it was a fun game until then.

Meaning, one division will have better teams, or be more top-heavy, and therefor it is likely someone with a good record will get left out unless you have a Wild Card.

Ideal scenario. KC fires Yost, Dayton Moore leaves KC for Atlanta, fires Fredi, and hires Yost.
