Subject: Home field advantage is bad rule for baseball
Content: So I just learned that the team with the best regular season record can pick when they want to start the playoffs.  You might think that is a fine rule, but this year the Yankees picked to play the day after the Twins clinched the division.  The Twins played a 4 hour 37 minute, 12 inning ball game last night, and then had to jump on a plane to play the Yankees the day after.  They didn't get into New York until 3am and have to play at 5pm.  Wow! Bud Selig has done it again...screwed up!  It is bad enough that the All-Star game winner gets home field advantage for the World Series.  Now teams get to pick when they play...man up Bud and make things fair.
