Time To Shorten the Baseball Season?

  • Raw Dawgin' it
    162 games is retarded, cut it in half. Personally, if baseball became defunct I wouldn't care, it's on par with golf and poker as the most boring sport on espn.

    This.

    They especially should do away with division if they expand the playoffs to 5 teams in each league. I am all for shortening the season as well, but too many purists will complain that it will ruin the history.

    Yeah I know, I just like sending the message to the rednecks on this site that racing cars is not a sport.

    I wish the season had ended back when the Pirates had a winning record and a slim lead (percentage points, I think) in their division. As opposed to allowing the debacle known as August to happen.

    eliminating divisions is stupid...that gets rid of the division races that make the tail end of the season so exciting

Sure people might watch some of the playoffs and the World Series but honestly why watch a game in September if your team is out of the picture. The regular season should end 8/31 the playoffs/WS to be played in the month of September.

    Someone above mentioned basketball--- that is another can of worms all in themselves.
    This!
