New Playoff Format = Awesome

First of all, I would like to apologize for a summer sans Ben's Baseball Bias but I'm baaaaaaack!

Raul is Cool!

Second of all, and I will make this brief, but the early returns on the additional Wild Card spot have been a success. At least for me. See, I was at the Yankee game last night (in less than stellar seats as you can see) and even in the gross weather the atmosphere was terrific. Why? Well because the game had playoff implications that wouldn't have been there previously and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game.

Would I have enjoyed watching if the Yankees lost? I wouldn't have enjoyed the ending, but the process would still be thrilling. I'm not trying to sound cheesy in a "This One Counts" sort of way for the All-Star game, but yeah, this one sort of counted more, and it was fun to watch.
