Lightning Lord Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I would be sad, too. As much as I hate it, the White Sox are a pretty stacked team and would do well this season. I hope we get close to a full season... and that, somehow, every player on the Chisox sucks in what's left of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywin et al. Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Eh, there's no need to be sad. There could easily be a deal in a few weeks and we'll still get most of the season. But I agree with Week, this is 100% on the greedy owners and their dumb fucking puppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireWolfSpirit Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 @BernieSanders The 30 Major League Baseball owners are worth over $100 billion. The value of their teams increased by more than $41 billion since they bought them. Mr. Manfred: End the lockout. Negotiate in good faith. Don't let the greed of baseball owners take away our national past time. "Look ya wanna play ball or ya wanna Fuck around?" Okay I changed it from golf but it works for me lol.

Argonath Diver Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Newest discussion point is a 14 team post season, because postseason= advertisement money. Gross. Gross gross gross. Participation awards for half the league is so damn stupid. Watered down regular season just means even less interest in June through August. Greedy owners. Any of you other older men see that cloud up there blocking my view! Damnit cloud move past! Go on now! Git, cloud, git! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a 6 team format with the top two seeds getting buys sounds reasonable -- albeit the World Series being played well into November is a clear downside. 7 teams per league sounds a bit much though yeah.

Argonath Diver Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Yep I am grudgingly fine with that 6 team, top two record for each league get byes idea. I guess 14 would be top two of each division plus two wild cards? I liked that baseball staked so much importance to the long term haul of 162 games. I remember when a pennant race was a pennant race and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that baseball staked so much importance to the long term haul of 162 games. I remember when a pennant race was a pennant race and all that. Wouldn't that be 8 teams? 7 sounds like it'd be the 3 division winners and then 4 wild cards. Regardless, an odd number of playoff teams (per league) is just weird. And yeah, I do think the importance of the gruelingly long season needs to be preserved. But with the 6 team format maybe you could do a 3 game series in the first round instead of the wild card elimination game - again with the downside of how long the postseason would be.
