Mad Dog Russo said he would retire if the Dbacks won the two games in Philadelphia to win the series in seven games. Well, well, well. Don't break your promise. The Dbacks won 84 games. They are not the best team from the National League. But the best team often does not win the World Series. That's baseball. The diamond of all games.

Looking for a reason to pick one team and cheer them on Does anybody? Doesn't have to be a good reason. Don't blame the clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep going to the circus.

The Dbacks beat the Brewers, the Dodgers, and the Phillies. Beating the Phils the last two games in Philadelphia. They are about as underdog as you can get.

A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

The thing is, the Dbacks are the best team in the National League. I agree the Braves are the best team on paper, and the season record might confirm, but the Dbacks are in the World Series, and as a Brave fan, I don't like to say that but there is no other way to say. It is the best game. It's pretty much a perfect game. The metrics are perfect. The only real rules change wasn't the DH rule, it was lowering the mound 5 inches in 1969. It eliminated guys like Whitey Ford from being, well..Whitey Ford. If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong

Playing from April to October 162 games the team with the best record is the best team. Post season is a tournament. The team that plays the best in the post season tournament wins the tournament and the prize is the World Series Championship. The winner earns that. I love the regular season. Love playing six games a week. Love looking at the daily box scores. Following the standings and stats. The changes in the post season format are not to my liking. I would rather give up a week of regular season play and change the playoff format. Wild card teams play each other in a three game series. After that the division series, conference series, and of course the World Series need to be seven games. The team that wins in a seven game series is more likely the best team. I really dislike the five game series. IMO it is not a test of how teams won their divisions. It favors teams with two outstanding starters and does not test the depth of the roster. The depth of the roster is how you become division champions. I credit the Rangers and the Dbacks for getting to the World Series. Whoever wins deserves it.
