Sometimes it's frustrating, when an 85-77 wildcard team takes out the dominant division winners in the playoffs, but the tradeoff for me is the excitement of the wildcard race itself. That's like doubling my enjoyment when the division races are competitive, and something to enjoy when division races are over by September.

Plus, I go along with lencombs' second school of thought. Two 100-game winners in the same division (or, let's say 101 and 100); without the wildcard, one of them goes home while the other plays against 88-game winner(s) of the other division(s)? That's not very exciting unless, of course, you are managing the 88-game winner.
