[QUOTE="DA_B0MB"][QUOTE="metswonin69"] That certainly would be an excellent way to destroy a sport. You also do realize that the playoffs are almost 100% luck right? So even the Yankees only have around a 15% chance of winning the World Series each year. metswonin69

There is a tad of luck in winning, but your statistic is just flat out wrong. The Phillies didn't go to the World Series in back to back years out of luck, and the Yankees winning it all was no surprise to anyone. They were a 103 win juggernaut.

You do realize that in the past 22 World Series only twice has the team with the best record in baseball ended up winning?

The "best team" isn't always the so much better than the competition. Look at the 2008 Angels. Sure they were great, 100+ win team, but their division is horrendous. And most of the time the best team in baseball is only a few wins better than the second best team. So it's not so surprising when the #1 gets bumped off usually. However, having the best record in baseball coming from the toughest division in baseball means a lot more. The 2010 Yankees are going to be even better than the 2009 team, and I'd be willing to not only bet on them having the best record again, but a better record, AND a repeat.

I'd just like to add that those two teams were the 1998 and 2009 Yankees. :P

The NFL overtime rules are a joke. They need to be fixed.

[QUOTE="Sonwhy"]

I have come up with the solution on how to make Baseball a better game for more teams and the entire league including the fan base. Its a very simple strategy and it will work. Let the Yankees win the world series for the next 10 years or so and have all the other teams throw in the towel when they play the Yankees. This way the Yankees will get tired of winning and realize that they are ruining baseball with what they are doing by having 75% of their team be an all star team. Its not right having their team being paid 2 or 3 times as much as other teams. And in some cases I have head that specific players on the Yankees make more money than other mlb teams.

Screw pitchers batting. Most of them can't even hit a beach ball. Allowing the auto out in the American League would be a terrible idea, not to mention make it less exciting.

And if there was a salary cap, let's say $100 million, that's still a huge difference between a lot of teams and only makes competition more even for those who had money in the first place.

The MLBPA would fight tooth and nail against a salary cap, even setting up strikes, so you can forget that idea. The problem is that there are too man owners who aren't putting enough effort in to win and are focusing on making money. Yes, the MLB is a business as much as a sport, but these penny pinching owners make their teams essentially meaningless for the most part, providing a poorer experience for the fans and hurting the sport. Example A being the Marlins, a team that competes fiercely considering their $40,000,000 pay roll. If they had $80,000,000 they would be serious contenders for the NL title, even against the Phillies.

I think in theory it's completely possible, but I'm no expert on this. Supposedly the Russians in 1978 caused an earth quake and somehow directed it towards Iran. I don't know how much truth there is to this. I don't care about Hugo Chavez, but what he said isn't completely dismissable. Everyone knows that American military is always working towards the most modern technological advancements for warfare purposes, and often times we don't find out about these projects until many years later. Example A being the SR-71 Blackbird, which many people thought was a UFO if they did happen to see it.

Anyways, do you guys think tectonic weaponry is possible?

I've seen Red Sox fans arrested at a Yankee game I went to for cheering for the Red Sox. This is sadly common. Opposing fans cheers tend to irritate the home crown, but what's wrong with that? It's a sport and you can cheer for whoever you want. At the very most this man deserved a warning, he did nothing wrong.
