100%! I say abolish divisions, play a fully balanced schedule and take the top 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever teams in each league to the playoffs. -

The question was asked, a few months ago, whether winning the division was necessary. A lively debate resulted, some saying the division didn’t matter(“just make the playoffs and anything can happen”) and some taking the opposite view. I wanted the Division and I’m disgusted the play has been so bad. And I haaaate the Yankees( sports hate. I’m sure they are all great guys in person.) It will not magically improve, and I despair of winning more than two more games…not even 90 wins. And in a Homer–prone park, how many homers will the Os give up? The thought is not comforting. And there’s little reason to think things will improve against the Tigers or Royals. But at least: 1) next year they will hopefully have Bautista and the position players healthy. 2) The farm has very few MLB-ready players so there won’t be so much bouncing back and forth. Hopefully the guys can settle in and just play. 3) the Os will be looking for a fourth consecutive winning season, which hasn’t happened since the 70s So there’s that… -

I was about to post a similar thread, but despite my memory issues, I recalled this thread. I still find myself enjoying sports less and less. The issue is not my teams, but myself. It's a sad reality that I'm bothered when my team doesn't win, or does win, but wins in a way that is not how I wanted them to! LOL! It's ridiculous. Frankly, I'm somewhat ashamed. The O's are very likely going to the playoffs. But instead of being happy about that, I'm more concerned with how awful we've been and how little I expect from them as the post-season draws near. A real fan loves his team and sticks with them, through thick and thin. It's absolutely okay to be critical, even frustrated, at times, but when those are the default and dominant expressions, it makes me feel... less than. It's like this with all my favorite teams (O's/Ravens/Terps). It's therapeutic, in a way, to reveal such truths. But the quest to find a way to enjoy sports again, to enjoy what my teams are doing, is a process that is taking longer than I'd hoped. -
I wouldn’t say I’m fired up. I’d like to do enough to (1) win the season series (which only takes one win), (2) clinch a playoff spot (which probably only takes one win, depending what other teams do, and (3) improves our chances of getting the no. 4 seed (which might take a couple of wins, depending how other teams do). -
It feels like a foregone conclusion that the O’s sneak in with the third wild card spot and then lose the wild card series. So it just doesn’t really matter all that much what happens from here on out. Then again, get hot at the right time and this could still be a World Series contender. I have to see some fire in this team before I entertain that thought though. -
I am not really fired up per se. I am just hoping that something happens that is different than what we have seen for months. A late comeback to win the game. A big inning of 4 runs or more. Some big hits from Adley or Holliday. 1 win means we win the season series against everyone in the East for the second year in a row. That would be great. And even if we lose, I am hoping that watching the Yankees celebrate in front of them and the fans celebrate around them fires them up. -
I feel like I asked once years ago, but can someone please explain the acronym “MFY?”
