Scratchtown

I dunno, I’m pretty excited baseball is back. I’ve been a mariners fan since when they only sucked, and still a mariners fan since when they didn’t suck... I’m pumping sunshine through my veins before I become a bitter fan again when they go 17 straight post seasons without an appearance. 

Dilly Dilly!!  Baseball would be a blast if they could get it down to 100 games or so.  The quality of pitching would go up a bit as well along with less injuries and longer careers.  They should also make less ... a lot less.  That is true for all sports however.  Example, a million dollars for a game in football is just crazy.  I don't care if you are an injury away ... it's still crazy to me.

My idea I think about is to limit the season by 15-20 games and add enough double headers to squeeze the regular season down. The final weekend of regular season baseball is over on Labor Day. First and second round of playoffs are 5-game series matchups. Wrap-up a 7-game World Series around the first week of October, when it’s not terribly cold.
