HometownHero, how do you call the Cardinals WLB's when you whine about them FAR more than they do about anything. Over the course of the year, teams get even amount of breaks. If the Braves or Reds had gotten the "Infield Fly Call" in their favor, you'd post 1000's words on how it was the right call. I mean the fact that you honestly believe that everything the Cardinals do is a result of luck and luck alone is pathetic. STOP CRYING.
Cards earned this victory, but you have to admit they have no business being in the playoffs. They only got there because the rules were changed in order for MLB to make more money at the expense of the dignity and integrity of the game.
I have no problem with the Reds losing to the Giants, it was a well played series by two teams who earned the right to play in the postseason. No way I would ever think that if the Reds got in by being the second wild card team and finishing 9 games out of first.
I agree about the 154, but I don't think any wild card team should get in. I think you have to be good enough to win a division to play after the season is over. As soon as they started the first wild card, all World Champions were tarnished and weakened, imo. And I will say that if the Reds ever win a World Championship by being a wild card team.
