These teams were eliminated in the playoffs

These teams did not make the playoffs***

These teams are in the World Series

Giants 107

Dodgers 106

Rays 100

Astros 95

Brewers 95

White Sox 93

Red Sox 92

Yankees 92

Blue Jays 91***

Mariners 90***

Cardinals 90

Braves 88

Athletics 86***

Reds 83***

Phillies 82***



These are the only things common with all of these teams:

They are scheduled to play 162 regular season games.

They play by the same rules, except the DH is used in all games played in the American League parks, and not used in games played at a National League park.



Is the current playoff format fair? Should the WC be a series? Should there even have been a second WC? Should there even be divisions?



We have a new CBA that will be on the horizon, and I'll start a thread to discuss the possible future of MLB and playoffs, to see how people view them.



I'm fairly certain, the current format as we know it, is on borrowed time.



It's interesting to note, that of the three teams that won 100 or more games, not one of them made it to the World Series, and in fact, none of them even came close to making it.






What do you see as the most pressing issue or issues regarding the new CBA

Hey Surg, This is a great topic for its own thread. Something different from the Off Season Thread. I am interested to hear what our members have to say about the new CBA. It would be nice to have the payrolls along with the records for the winning teams. I am going to lock this thread so you have time to begin a new thread. If you don't want to do that just send me a PM and I will unlock this thread.
