The three teams with the best record in the NL are all from the Central. Only one can win the division. The two WC teams in the NL will be from the Central. The team with the best record in the NL will be in the Central. One central team will advance to the NLDS. They will face the team with the best record.........right now it is the Cards, unless Pittsburgh overtakes them. As such, only one team from the Central can advance to the NLCS. Whether or not one likes this format, whether or not it is truly fair, whether or not we should do away with interleague play and divisional winners, the present format raises interest among more fans since more teams have a playoff shot. More fans means more money....... I doubt that MLB will change anything unless the change is accompanied with strong evidence that the change would increase revenues. Because it is a business. To the late Eloise Pohlad, the Twins were more than a busines. Since she died in 2003, and that contraction was attempted after 2001, I think we can conclude that to Carl, they were simply a business. To the sons, they are a business. Sad that they (the boys) can't look at the Twins and see what Eloise saw in the team.....
