Hey; thanks for explaining a lot Levi - I really appreciate that, you've given me more insight into the playoffs itself that seem to resemble pretty similar to the NBA playoffs. Is that the norm for all Americans sports where 8 will make the playoffs and eventually the best from Western Conference meets best from Eastern Confernce in teh final; except the best from NL plays the best from AL in baseball otherwise known as the 'World Series' in baseball (btw, the 'world series' really does need to be changed haha)?
As for the T.V. coverage... that's very interesting. Even though the AL and NL seem to be evenly matched (correct me if I'm wrong) it seems like an unfair advantage to the clubs who are playing National Division Series... but it does sound all too familiar with the Sky 4 lol.
Just a couple more points: I really am amazed how often baseball clubs have to play, nearly every day which is pretty astonishing. I'm still surprised to see packed stadiums when it's the afternoon American time because you'd think that kids would still be at school, men and women at work... but ofcourse, because the MLB seems to be such a loooooooooong schedule of games I suppose these matches have to be played at these odd times during the day. But fair play to those who attend, I couldn't even to begin to imagined if the F.A. started having matches on Tuesday afternoons.
And finally... why does this annoying commentator (no idea what he's called) on ESPN keep saying it's inevitable that it'll be a Yankees - Dodgers final? Obviously In know Yankees and Dodgers are two of the best teams around in MLB, but don't you think it's possible for Red Sox and Phillies to get gatecrash the party?
