ESPN does not decide when Opening Day is......

Marge Schott even said so.....

If the playoffs started today:

Red Sox IN
Yankees OUT


Yeah, it's a small sample size, but still...

Meanwhile, in REAL sports news........

With five games to go, there's a FOUR way tie for second place! The Western Conference is crazy.....

Now if this were to happen in Our National Pastime, that would be a really thrilling finish to watch, since only one of those teams would be advancing to the playoffs, and the other three would be working on their golf games in a few weeks. But there are some professional sports leagues I hear which allow as many as 16 teams to play in the postseason......

I believe Sprots said it best...... good grief!

Think of the Western Conference as the National League, not a single division. Divisions don't mean crap in basketball anymore except for tiebreakers. All it means to us folk up here in the Great Northwest is another championship t-shirt......

The NHL used to be the league where the regular season didn't matter because only like four teams didn't make the playoffs. But I haven't paid attention to hockey for so long I don't know if that's still true or not....

It used to be 5, because there were 21 NHL teams when I started paying attention. Now there's 30, I think....

Still doesn't excuse the NBA for sending 16 teams to the playoffs. I believe they are the only major sports league still clinging to the antiquated 4 division format. Why they don't split up into six 5 team divisions is beyond me, but then again, so is the fact that they tie the starts of their games to the endings of earlier games.....

Just for trivia reference:

MLB: 8 of 30 teams make post-season
NFL: 12 of 32
MLS: 8 of 16 (league will have 18 teams next year)
NBA: 16 of 30
NHL: 16 of 30

And the other most popular pro sports league in the U.S. (check the tv ratings), the Premier Division of the Mexican Football Federation: 8 of 18 (but they have two seasons per year and have playoffs after each season)
