The Giants had a great team and are worthy champions, but ya, theres always some luck involved. I'm pretty sure they lose to the Rangers in a best of 50 for instance.
Both the Rangers and Giants were better than their records, but sometimes inferior teams really do just get hot at the right time. Things like the '02 Angels or Cards of a few years back just don't happen in other sports. Of course, thats part of the appeal.
Still, I like the idea of adding more playoff teams as long as "bye round" are added. It doesn't increase the randomness anymore than it does now.. It just means that the #11 team might go all the way once in a while.. but if they do they would have done it the hard way and would make it that much more special for that team's fans.
