The reason MLB hasn't started yet is because ...

ESPN wanted an exclusive debut for Sunday Night Baseball. And that's happening on Easter Sunday Night when the network airs the Cardinals @ the Cubs.

Thus, it's a pretty good chance the World Series is going to finish up in November.

I remember when the Dbacks - Yankees went into November announcers were calling Jeter "Mr. November"

since MLB insists on all these "Playoff" games. That wouldn't mess up season statistics as much as PEDs have.

But noooo, they gotta have the revenue, even if that means is another Arctic World Series in Denver.

I also like the idea of more scheduled double headers like the old days.

I'm getting sick of wild card teams getting into the World Series. Doesn't being the best over 162 games mean anything anymore???
