Playoff randomness
Carig is right of course, about playoff randomness. As he is an unbiased sportswriter, what he doesn’t understand is how it feels to be a fan. It doesn’t have to do with casual fan vs fan with deep knowledge, fans want their teams to do well but more importantly, rewarded for being good. I have been a Dodgers fan since 1981, and have gradually lost interest over the past 10 years because my good teams have not been rewarded. The poor playoff performances, the gut wrenching losses, the Astros stolen championship all add up. It gets tougher to commit 100% of your heart, even to a good team because of the random playoff outcomes. What Carig got right is that I can spend my time better with sports that offer more certainty eg NBA and NFL, and that is in fact what I am doing. I have attended very few baseball games in the past five years, and stopped subscribing to any baseball sites including MLB TV. I do enjoy the fun banter in this pod, keep it up fellas!

I just wanted to hear baseball talk/analysis and I found this one a...Read full review »
