Proposed schedule for next season

We've discussed it a bit already but I thought I'd post on it. I propose for our next season that we drop the two dummy teams from each league and extend the season to 50 games. With only our six teams in each league we'd drop to one division in each league from the current two. The dummy teams would still remain out of our player selection pool.

This will have the benefit of not having to play meaningless games against dummy teams and will return us to a balanced schedule. The top 4 teams in each league will qualify for the playoffs to give everyone a shot at the post season and because a short 50 game schedule in baseball, even though it is the longest we have played, will still not be enough to determine the top team.

The 50 game schedule would consist of 10 games against each other team and would breakdown as follows:

• one 3-game home series
• one 3-game away series
• one 2-game home series
• one 2-game away series

After 25 games we'd break for an all-star game. We could have the winning league in the all-star game decide who gets home field advantage for the World Series or it could go to a coin toss or just alternate each year.
