How should I care for my arm after pitching, are there any best practices I should be aware of?
No the baseball season is already a good 7 months long, there is absolutely no reason we should make it any longer, baseball is such a boring sportAround how long is a baseball game?
Heck no. We can't have some sub par .500 lucky team win the world series. No way!How do i determine slugging percentage in a baseball stat?
Nope. Pass on that idea. It will water down the sport. Too many scrubby teams now have the cahnce to get lucky.Have 2 opposing pitchers ever thrown a no-hitter against each other in the same game?
no if they did theyed have to shorten the season or the northern teams would need snow shovels in the dugoutsi think the nba and nhl have way to many teams in playoffs the season ends and 21/2 months later they crown a champ
AHAHA barry bonds dressed up as paula abdul?
No way! It stays the way it is. Only the elite deserve to go.Why won't the Chicago White Sox show up under my.yahoo scores?
i dont think that the mlb should go to 4 rounds because one thats too many teams, two pitchers and players are tired by the end of the regular season and barely have enough energy by the time they get to the world series. Also baseball plays almost everyday so fatigue is starting to hit them by the time they reach the playoffs. so i think that sticking with 3 rounds in the playoffs is good enough.What's the way to make your swing faster?
It's bad enough now.Once more: are the red sox better than the yankees because of bad pitching?
No. The NHL and NBA do that to squeeze much needed funds out of their fans. Playoff tickets equal big revenue.Baseball will never let sub par team have a shot at winning the World Series which is meant for baseball's very best.
It's a cheesy way to make money but baseball will never do that. Pass.
Hey Yankee fans... whose winning the AL East? Whose in last in the AL East?
of course they should. baseball has the longest schedule of any sports at 162 games, and the shortest playoffs. more teams in the playoffs means more money for the owners though.How good will jose reyes be in his career?
No. The October Classic should not be played @ Thanksgiving. Its bad enough its being played closed to Halloween.(It is equally bad that the NBA Championship and the Stanley Cup are played in June.)
Can yall help with my fantasy baseball second baseman dilemma?
No Way! are u nuts that would expand to november every yearWhy is the pitcher catcher tandem called a battery?
No way! The NBA seems to regularly have at least one team with a losing record in the playoffs. The post season should be for the best of the best, not the Royals and the Pirates...Do you think the Brewers will choke and not make the playoffs?
Absolutely, this would allow more wild card teams and more drama for teams (like the yankees) getting knocked out.i hate the yankees :), go sox
What is the best Hitting book available (baseball)?
how are more teams more interesting? look at the nba and nhl playoffs where teams with sub 500 records are in the playoffs. keep it to the best of the best. why work your but off for 162 games only to have to play a team with a .490 record in the playoffs. it makes the regular season meaningless.If barry bonds breaks the hr record...?
Nah. I really wish they would get rid of the Wild Card teams. Take the three best teams from each league and put them in the playoffs. Have the best of the best play.yes they should so we can have baseball all winter
MLB sluggers' special batting habits?
NO. baseball players play enough games anyway. They already added the wildcard. Expanding the playoff structure is just stupidIt would make sense...so many eams and only 8 teams make the playoffs...not fair!!
Why are Dread Sux fans so annoying?
I don't think so.It takes away the importance of the regular season. Anyone can beat anyone in a best of seven series.I believe basketball and hockey has too many teams. Football is about right.What is the circumference of a major league baseball?
You have to be crazy that is what stinks about the NBA and NHL half the teams make the playoffs. Why play the regular season. I was against the Wild Card expansion probably as much as my grandfather was against having the ALCS created (before 1969 there was only the world series the best record in the AL vs NL). I have grown to accept the wild card and think that it is actually good. I think baseball has it perfect and should leave the playoffs aloneBetter HR hitter: Bonds, Mcguire, or Sosa?
At the moment the playoffs are as perfect as they can get, if you had sixteen you would have to have to wild card teams and and to division champs and it would be a total mess, they would play till christmas and it would be horribleHas an umpire in an MLB game ever ejected another umpire?
only if they shorthened the seasonWhat is major league baseball' averarge salary?
no - they are already having problems getting games in with all the snow.seriously - playoffs should be something special. You should be good to get in, we already have wildcards to take care of the marginal teams that are almost "good enough"
lets keep it elite

The media "driving a wedge" between hank aaron and barry bonds?
The NHL introduced the 16 team playoffs when they only had 21 overall teams. The entire regular season eliminated 5 teams. When they had 12, it was because the top 4 had byes, a concept only football has now.Baseball is fine. I don't watch the NBA, so I won't comment, but NHL has too many, over half and with their stupid new point systems of giving points to losing teams, teams are now getting almost 100 points and not making the playoffs when 100 points used to win you the conference.
