Gander where are you?

Timmy,
With the Cardinals on the verge of going to the World Series, do you know understand my rants for years about how screwed up baseball's playoff system is?
Baseball was the only sport in which the regular season used to mean something. Its a game where moreso than any other sport that on a given night, or short series, ANy team can beat another team. The royals swept the Tigers to end the regular season.
They play 162 because in that type of long haul the best teams emerge and earn it. Now we have a joke of a 5 game series that not only is awful unto its own devices, but screws up and impacts the next series as well, because it screws up the pitching matchups.
Noone is gonna tell me that the Mets and Yankees weren't the two best teams in their leagues this year, and it looks like neither will make the WS.
You gonna tell me that the Cardinals deserve a WS trip with that regular season play.
Might as well put baseball in with the NHL, NBA, NCAA hoops, and NFL. regular season don't mean a hell of a lot.
