Plus not sure on this, but I had thought they were purposing that the 1st 2 games were to be played at the team with the better records home field. whats the pint in having an extra wildcard if thats the case when some of the best teams in the league r 5-10 games above .500 on the road.
While from a White Sox fan standpoint an extra WC might put us into the playoffs more often then not, I am really beginning to hate this idea.

Good points but the wait to play arguement isn't really valid. What happens when one LCS is a sweep and the other goes 7 games? Guess what, the ace sits around for days waiting to start. And it does happen regularly in Baseball, Hockey, and Basketball where a team will be sitting extra days waiting for their next opponent. Extra rest is nice for giving bumps and bruises a few extra days to heal, but it can also kill momentum. Either way, chances are at some point in the play-offs you're likely to get a few more days off than you'd like.
