Here\'s a discussion I had a work today (you know, in between writing all of the obscure references in my notes):

It looks as if the Red Sox will go to Anaheim for Games 1 and 2 of the ALDS, while the Yankees will host the AL Central Champ (Tigers/Twins). Right now the Yankees have the best record in the American League (and in the entire MLB) while the Red Sox have the second-best record in the AL. So....

Should the Red Sox be happy that the Wild Card rules don\'t have them playing the best American League team in the ALDS (as a Wild Card normally would) or pissed that the rules don\'t grant them home-field advantage against the Angels (a team with a worse record) for the ALDS?

Of course, the Red Sox could end up NOT having the second-best record at the end of the season, so get your hypothetical arguments in while they still hold water.

Personally, I think that it\'s stupid that you can\'t play an in-division opponent. I don\'t understand the reasoning behind that rule. They should be playing the Yanks in the first round, but as a Wild Card team, they\'re lucky to be in the playoffs and really have no grounds to **** about where they are playing...

If the season were to end today, the match ups would be Yankees vs. Tigers and Angels vs. Red Sox...

That is a bit odd...but that\'s the way it\'s always been so I don\'t really have a complaint.

I think it\'s a good idea because i like the red soxs chances against the angles.

Want to re-think that. Boston\'s record vs. the other 3 AL playoff teams...

Yanks - 9-6
Angels - 4-5
Tigers - 6-1

Red sox played (and beat) the Angles in \'04 and \'07, then going on the win the World Series both those years.
