MLB divisions

4.5 games separate 1^st and last place in the American League East division (tightest in the majors).

5 games separate 1^st and 2^nd place in the American League West division.

Can we relocate the Blue Jays to the West division, where we’d currently be in 2^nd place as the only other team in the division above .500?

Or perhaps to the Central, where we'd be in 1st, 2 games ahead of Cleveland? 

At least MLB has expanded the playoffs to provide an opportunity for good teams to make it. Teams with better records should make the playoffs ahead of division leaders with worse records, shouldn't they? Or should teams be rewarded for being lucky enough to play in crappy divisions?

Tim Thomas and the NHL buffoons

I was doubly shocked by this play, take a look…

A goalie playing the player and not the puck was shocking enough. There was no penalty (interference, roughing...), Boston fans cheered as though was a great play, and this all just goes to show (once again) NHL's wacko culture.
