Re: MLB Playoffs / World Series - 2012

Have I expressed how much I hate the playoff structure?  It only rewards the teams that get hot at the end, not those that were consistently good all season.  A one-game playoff to decide the wild-card berth?  An initial playoff series (best of five) that takes only three wins to advance?  All of those contests can be fluky.  One-game playoffs and short series are not true measures of a team's talent.

NO.  Go back to two divisions in each league.  Eliminate the stupid Wild Cards (and contract MLB to 28 teams or even 24 while we're at it; not every town in the US deserves a MLB team).  The winners of each league's division, the ones with the highest regular-season win total (wow, what a concept) play in a best-of-seven series (not best of five).  Then, the pennant winners go to the World Series (best of seven, or hell, make it best of nine to make sure the best team really does take it all).
