Then at least there is a difference between finishing 8th and 9th or lower.L.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932409909043501781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-54734645183598808172008-03-26T06:37:00.000-07:002008-03-26T06:37:00.000-07:001 step forward 10 steps back.

If that means every team in one conference gets in, so be it. <BR/><BR/>The playoff race last year was the first semi-exciting on in a LONG time. <BR/><BR/>This move is so obviously a move to give LA every chance possible to get into the playoffs it's pathetic. Everyone and their mother knows the West is the weaker conference again this year and MLS is deperate to have Beckham in the playoffs and this move stinks of that desire. <BR/><BR/>I have a feeling this year is going to return to the lowered intensity of years past. Horrible move. <BR/><BR/>I also agree with you guys that there are too many teams in the playoffs. <BR/><BR/>Someone should start an e-petition to send to Garber about this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-35227512844297817362008-03-25T20:16:00.000-07:002008-03-25T20:16:00.000-07:00yeah, way too many teams. Even when you have eight...yeah, way too many teams. Even when you have eight of 16 teams in 2010, it'll be too many teams.<BR/><BR/>The league tries to say that the regular season will matter now more than ever but it's statistically harder to miss the playoffs than to make it.<BR/><BR/>I've always felt the playoff system rewards mediocrity and as long as more than half of the league's teams make the playoffs I'll still continue to feel that way.L.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932409909043501781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-5145258566039424162008-03-25T19:27:00.000-07:002008-03-25T19:27:00.000-07:00Too MANY...sorry.Too MANY...sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-7529972086953833942008-03-25T19:26:00.000-07:002008-03-25T19:26:00.000-07:00Drop two teams from the playoffs. 8 of 14 is too ...Drop two teams from the playoffs. 8 of 14 is too any teams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
