Kimbo Slice faces MMA legend Ken Shamrock tonight on Elite XC on CBS. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" - and those quotes are getting more sarcastic by the minute - says he's going to knock out Kimbo and shave his beard. He best bring a sledgehammer, or a gun. Last I looked, Shammy lost his last five fights in craptacular form...Toronto FC travel to the swamps of New Jersey to face New York Red Bull tonight. Kickoff for that one is 7:30pm with coverage on The Score. Here's hoping they can put in another strong effort like last week, particularly with the pressure of making the playoffs virtually off...how about adding a second Wild Card to the MLB playoffs, and have the two wild-carders meet in a one game showdown, winner advancing? I kinda like it...is there anybody that believes the story that Tim Donaghy was the only NBA referee in on fixing games? No chance. Sorry, David Stern...what the schedule makers were thinking having Boston and Anaheim play the first three games over five days is beyond me. They're off again today...the NHL season starts today with a pair of games in Europe. Here's hoping CBC shipped Don Cherry overseas and a mob of Euros take him to the proverbial woodshed...Rich Harden had to get a cortisone shot to make it to his start in L.A. today and may not be in the game by the time most Dodger fans arrive. The Cubs are in a world of trouble. Have I mentioned best of five is terrible?...it wasn't all negative for the New York Mets this year. They're the first team in baseball history to lead in consecutive September's by at least 3.5 games and blow those leads...the Milwaukee Brewers are batting .115 through two games of their series. A-Rod circa 2005-6 and Barry Bonds think that's embarrassing...true story: the Jacksonville Jags Maurice Jones-Drew drafted himself first overall in a pool with fellow NFLers...who went 12 for 12 last night? The prosecution in the O.J. Simpson case. Looks like the Juice is going for a lengthy stay in the Crow Bar Motel...an elderly lady in Ohio was about to have her home foreclosed - not rare in the U.S. these days - so she "musta done shot herself" in the words of her neighbor. I only include that because I get a kick out of red neck misery...in the history of the divisional series, only 7 times (out of 54) has a team down 2-0 come back to win the series...seven sky divers were to bring the game ball for a soccer game in France. However, going 6 for 7 in terms of survivors probably wasn't something they planned, and the guy with the game ball kissed the ground after his parachute malfunctioned...loving Manchester United at -1 +106 at Pinnacle today. That one starts at 12:30...have a great Saturday.

ANgels/Sox last night was classic.
And you're for a little playoff expansion now, eh? Curious...
For the record I think it makes no sense. Battle all year for a wild card, only to have to play the team that finished behind you in a one and done? Silly.
They should just have 2 wildcard teams.
What i don't get is how they play 162 regular season games, and then have a playoff thats awesomeness is only matched by it's brevity...
Don't kid yourself BHJ, I've long advocated an expanded playoffs and lopping a dozen games off the schedule to spare the world the drudgery of yet another Blue Jays/Royals/Rangers/O's death march through September. Don't believe me? Search out such discussions at RC in the MLB thread. I've said the same for years, just as often as I've said the Jays won't be going to the playoffs each year.

i can attest to that..in fact i think we've had a couple of discussions on that subject at RC if i remember correctly
fact is that the MLB season and playoff setup is almost archaic in nature...they could easily shorten the season by 3 weeks and take the top 8 teams in each conference ( overall records )and have them all play 7 game series
more opportunities for "middle of the road " clubs and more interest for the fans
That's pretty much exactly what my position was - why have games to half full stadiums between two teams 20 games out when you can have more teams in the running and create buzz?
I know it kills the record book some, but this is way better for fans in my opine.
