Cant Hackett Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Why not play best of seven, the same as the rest of the post season. I have always hated the 5 game series. You lose the first two games and it’s very difficult to come back. No room for error in a five game series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Sounds like a Yankee fan upset that he's down 2-0 in a 5 game series. Why is it BS? The Yankees had their staff lined up the way they wanted it. Yankee fans were confident going into the series, they wanted nothing to do with the Angels. Cleveland is a better team right now.

Do you even read this board? Can't Hackett has been against the 5 game series for a long time. Search his posts it is will documented. He has always disliked it, even when the Yankees were winning them. I agree that is should be 4 of 7. I felt that way when the Yankees were rolling over the Rangers as well. No excuses, it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuses, it is what it is. Actually, I don't read the board. Is it something I should do? To be honest, I'm kind of surprised that they haven't changed it. With the Cubs and Yanks possibly being bounced in 3 games, I'm sure it will come up at the winter meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you mods weren't playing with a bag of dicks all day and read this board every so often, you would be up on these things...just saying.

Are you talking about Can't Hackett's well documented hatred for a five game series? He has about seven posts in the baseball forum. I must have missed it. Don't be jealous of my bag of dicks.

And F all the Yankee fans who jump off the band wagon in May. And I can count the posts I have in the baseball forum on my hands, but I have said this for years, but not on JN, they should play a 7 game divisional series.

Scott Dierking Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Better yet, dissolve 6teams, establish 2 divisions in each league and go back to LCS and WS only. Screw the Wild Card. Make the seasons really mean it. Yeah, that will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott, I would like to go back to my kid days where there were just two divisions...at the end of the year, the best team from each division played each other for all the marbles...but, like anything else these days, it's all about the benjamins...

Make the seasons really mean it. Yeah, that will happen. Here is the thing for the AL. In 11 of the 25 seasons of the two division format, the best two teams were in one division. Since the three division format, in 12 of the 14 seasons, the wildcard has had a better record (10x) or tied for the worst record of the three division winners. I like the wildcard. The Sox have been one of the best teams over the last decade plus, but in the old format would have nothing to show for it until this year because we have the 500 pound gorilla Yankees in our division. Plus, the chance of a Sox vs. Yankees, Dodgers vs Giants or Cubs vs Cardinals playoff series is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That WILL lead to a change, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
