SonataArctica121 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I just became a Marlins and baseball fan this May. I never got into baseball till I saw there game with the Mets and watching D-Train pitch. I favored them over the mets cause all my freinds (I live in NJ) rag on the mets . I only wish I could have seen their success in '03 . I am part mets fan but I truthfully stcik behind this marlins team 100%. I like that they are not an over or underated team and they play fairly well! This team has placed in new interest in MLB for me Also as a newbie to how the mlb is. I have a question... How does the wild card work? (what's it take to be on and how does it make it reachable to be in the WS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 The wild card is simple. There are 3 divisions in each league. The 3 division winners get to the playoffs. The 4th team, the wild card, is the team with the best record outside of the 3 division winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonataArctica121 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 I was wondering why the nats and padres were not on there :lol So in other words, since there are 3 divisions, it's an odd number so the wild card fills in the missing 1v1. How do they decide who faces who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's division winner with best record vs. wild card, then the other two division winners face each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonataArctica121 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 I never liked the yankees because in NJ, they seem so overrated at times. Even when they lose very badly, freinds and others still talk trash. I remember hereing last year ( '03 ) that the marlins wo the WS beating the yanks for it. Now once I saw the name "mariners," i totally got confused . Since the marlins were the first team I saw play that was not on a local station. I chose them. The ironiclly funny thing was my freind (Braves Fan) got me into baseball. He told me MLB is not that boring and when you have a team to stick by, it's fun to watch. He was the one that convinced me to watch a show and that weekend I did. Imagine the shock on his face when I said Marlins :lol He got a bit mad and you know how arrogant and prdeful braves fans are :whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
