If I was Commish, I'd suggest dropping the regular season to 160 games, so it could allow for a best of 3 WC round.
Much as I love what could happen today and (with the American League wild card game) tomorrow, if
I was the commish, I'd demand, not suggest . . .
* Doing away with the damn wild cards. I'm personally exhausted from all the thrills, chills, and spills of watching teams fighting to the last breath to finish . . . in second place. Time to return real pennant race incentive: you want to play in the postseason, park your ass in first place. Which means . . .
* Doing away with the three-division setup and returning to two-division leagues.
* Doing away with regular-season interleague play. It
ain't the big deal they cracked it up to be when they came up with the idea, not even Cubs/White Sox, A's/Giants, or even Yankees/Mets. (And
how stupid was it to schedule the Nats finishing the season against . . . the Indians?)
* If I can't get rid of the three-division setup, then I'll insist on the division champ with the best record getting a round-one bye while the other two division champs play a best-of-three division series and that winner facing the champ with the best record in a best-of-five League Championship Series. (Which is how the LCS was set up in the first place half a century ago.) That'll provide some pennant race incentive, too . . .
and remove the saturation factor from the postseason while restoring the World Series's primacy once and for all.
* Joe West, Angel Hernandez, and C.B. Bucknor will
never again get to within two state lines of any postseason series unless they want to buy their way into the stands to watch.
