Voice in the Wilderness:

- I hate cold weather baseball
- By putting more teams in the playoffs you eliminate pennant races and cede August and September to football. people get excited about wild card or worst division races on the last weeked and that's it.
- I totally agree that when you play twice as many games as any other sport and ten times as much as football, you don't need also-rans. 
- Baseball is  a sport where the term upset is rarely used because it's the sport where the inferior team is most likely to win. Everything is done in rotation: the batting order, the pitching rotation. Even the bench and bullpen have defined roles. You are a different team depending on who is out there. And physical contact has been removed form the game so you can't force the other team to lose. It's way too easy for a team to get hot at the right time and become champion, even though everyone knows they aren't among the best teams.

Add two more teams. Go back to the four division set up with 8 in each division, just like we had 8 in each league from 1901-1960. Then just the league championship and World Series. Have everything on the line in August and September. Just the best teams and get it over with by mid October.
