[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1954439, member: 748116"] The 162 games are designed as revenue-generating events for baseball owners. They are quite happy about that. Attempts to shorten the season back to 154 games have not gotten support because owners want the extra dough and players don't want a pay cut. The randomness of who gets to the Series is great for fans because more teams have a real chance to get there now. All the teams get their chance to prove themselves over 7 months. If a team doesn't make it -- they didn't deserve to. The main problem with the setup is that the World Series runs up against the big NFL and College Football sports interest. Also, the MLS playoffs are going on right now, too. Plus the start of the NHL and NBA seasons. [/QUOTE]
