I'm just suprised more people don't want it to be more fair.
Well, life isn't fair.

But seriously, would you REALLY want to be able to "even out" the teams in the MLB like your proposing? I mean, the cinderella stories are what we all love about sports so much. The USA beating the USSR in hockey in 1980. The Twins-Braves WS in 1991. the 2004 Boston win over NYY in the ALCS. Those are the kinds of stories we live for, and crave in sports. Especially in baseball.

The NFL is too much of a crap-shoot. And the NBA is even worse. Granted, I love watching football. I think this is why I like the college game the best. Never know who's going to win that big upset of a game from week to week.
