What's your **** problem dude? There was no mention of Bass in my earlier comment. I was specifically referring to White, Pop and Kikuchi. Learn to read you moron.

I'd tone it down a bit.

Show me when earlier? I never complained about Bass. White and Pop. Yes.

Bass and Pop were in the same freaking trade.

You literally said it was an awful trade.

I just don't understand what Atkins saw in Pop, White and Kikuchi. They all suck! Awful trades and an awful signing.

Saying the Pop trade is an awful trade, is the same as saying the Bass trade is an awful trade. Because, get this… it was the same trade.

I thought the division winners got to pick who they faced in the playoffs. Did that part of the plan not go through?

i'm not sure it was ever part of any plan as much as it was a proposal, among several, that was rejected by the PA in the last CBA talks. i'm fine with the current format though -- the expanded playoffs directly benefits us, any more than 12 teams in the playoffs would've been overkill, and there's enough incentive to win your division (bye to the ALDS, unless you play in the AL central). choosing who you play is gimmicky anyway, plus you'll have greasy teams like the rays punting games down the stretch to choose their potential opponents regardless (see last year).
