With Drew Smyly getting a World Series ring with the Braves last night, that now means all 6 regular starters from the 2014 Tigers have won a World Series since leaving.

That's quite impressive.  

Meanwhile Panda will get his 4th WS ring for his contributions to the Braves.

Why bother with a regular season?  A team with the 12th-best record is the "World Champions."

It's literally stupid.

Just pretend that they are an SEC team winning a NC after failing to qualify for their CCG.

Just as soon as college football moves to a 162-game schedule...

When the 88 win team wins three consecutive playoff series against very good teams, one might conclude they actually were a pretty good team that had a tough start.

You're comparing 16 games vs 162.  
That's fun.

it's called the playoff

just like in College football

let's go to 8 or 12 teams and then just crown a playoff champion

The Braves got hot at the right time, early August, their record since then compares with anyone's.  And they won those three playoff series against top flight competition, and they won the WS.  I think they had "the best team" often in the 1990s and did not win the WS except in 1995.

It is a playoff champion, not the best team, often as not.

the Dodgers didn't even win their division

at least the Braves did that
