Baseball Playoff Format

[SentToStud]

I love baseball. Especially in October.

But I hate, absolutely hate, the 5-game Divsional Series format.

How the hell can teams play for eight months and play close to 200 games (including spring and, if lucky, playoffs) and have the first round decided in a best of five series?

Strikes me that baseball should somehow, someway, find time for two more playoff games.
