A's Owner Suggests 1 Game Wild Card Round

The owner of the A's wants to shorten the season by making the first round one game instead of five.   I think he's on the right path, but his plan is unfair to the good teams.   I like the Costas Solution.   Shorten the season by playing something called single-admission doubleheaders.   I know, crazy.  Think of how much money the Marlins will lose by not playing 4 extra home games in front of 4,000.   Add a wild card to each league.   The two wild cards play a one game playoff the day after the season.  The winner of that game plays the #1 seed at the stadium of the #1 seed.    So had the Mets tied the Brewers they would have had to kill themselves to win Sunday (in my alternate universe), killed themselves to beat Milwaukee on Monday and then had to open at Chicago on Tuesday.   The Cubs would have had their pitching all lined up and the Mets would have had no choice but to start Four Inning Pedro.
