OK, since it now seems, even to the most hardnosed Padres fan, that
the Cubs have a chance to get in to the World Series,  what do
people think about the proposals to switch the World Series and give
Chicago only three games rather than four?

Business may be business, and baseball is, first and foremost, a
business whether or not we like to admit it.  Nevertheless, I think
it is a rotten idea and extremely unfair, especially since the AL
team will have four games at home plus the DH.  Should the Cubs take
the Padres and this proposal actually go through, I, for one, am
planning to refuse to watch the Series on TV, and I have a letter
all set to go off to NBC (or whoever has the Series this year) and
the Comissioner's office telling them so.  Not that it will make one
iota of difference, but how would you feel if YOUR team got in to
the World Series and you couldn't get tickets to go see them,
partially because the demand for tickets was increased by the fact
that your team had one home game chnged in to an away game?
I dunno, if the Cubs get in they will have won fair and square. 
They and their fans deserve to be treated the same as everyone else.

Comments?

(Sigh...if the Cubs get in, ANYBODY can get in.  Even the Angels,
if they ever get their act together)
