Let's Contract Two Different Teams

What a brilliant idea! Let the Yankees and Mets become barnstorming teams that either travel around the U.S. looking for opponents or pay their opponents to get beaten up in New York. While they're doing that, the other 28 teams can then duke it out for the chamipionship of MLB. If we still feel cheated of a true World Series champion, we can then have the MLB champ play off against the Mets or Yankees (let the two of them duke it out in a best of some-ungodly-number (I'm thinking 15 games at least) so as to make the Mets-Yankees rivalry REALLY intense). Or, to pacify all those out their that veterans from the Japanese leagues such as Ichiro last year shouldn't qualify as MLB rookies, have the sans-NY MLB champ, the winner of the Japanese World Series and the two NY teams go into a four team playoff tournament to decide once and for all the World Series champ. This is the type of outside-the-box thinking we really need.

Common Sense,
Obviously, you don't have what your name implies. If you had been alive in late 18th-century Great Britian, you probably would've thought that Jonathan Swift was completely serious when he wrote "A Modest Proposal." Yankee fans like you (specifically those who are looking for anti-NY bias in everything they read) need to lighten up and get a sense of humor.
