Wild Card

[scoutyjones2]

It's very much a tournament. Every league has wildcards. Baseball was just slower than the rest to implement and expand them. NCAA (which at this point are just lower-level pro leagues) have wildcards too and we consider it great.

The "purists" are the minority. Wildcards aren't a dirty word.

Get healthy. Get hot. Get in. Make your run. No one cares about or remembers division championships if they don't come with a league pennant and\or world series title.

What kind of a hockey fan are you? I don’t even follow hockey much and I know there are wild cards.

Tied with the Gigantes for wild card

Most people look at the wild card as a losers last chance. A break. A mulligan.

Me . I look at it like a tournament where anything can happen.

2011 says Hi.

2006.

I think in 2006 the Cards 83-79 regular season record won the NLC division.

I was referring to anything can happen. Beat Mets, then Tigers. Both series underdogs, especially the Mets.

"Tigers in 3"

I'd say especially the Tigers. Remember "Tigers in 3" prediction?

Been lackluster. No game sevens.
