Sorry, I'd rather not win the WS then ROOT to get in as a WC. If there is a chance to win the division, and your not eliminated, you fight for it to the end. I think the WC should be removed from MLB. Perhaps 4 divisions per league would be better.
Its really disgusting how these teams down the stretch are settling for the WC and not fighting for the division. Their is prestige in winning a division, especially for a 10th season in a row. Saying well, we got the WC, so lets relax and just get in is insulting.
I personally, don't think highly of any of the MLB teams that have won the WS as a wild card and would have a harder time roooting for team who is in the post season because of it.
