	STATS: Does the Wild Card Diminish the World Series?
		Sportswriter Dayn Perry, a regular contributor to FOXSports.com, contends that the extra round of playoffs generated by the creation of wild-card berths in each league weakens the playoff pool and allows teams such as the St. Louis Cardinals to reach the World Series after finishing 83-78 during the regular season.
		Reportedly MLB is looking at changing the number of home games the higher seed has in the first round, in order to give the favored club better odds.
		If we assume the wild card isn't going away, then the best option is changing the first round to a best-of-seven series.

	Wild card (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The common rule in casinos is that a wild card plays as a bug, which is given the rank of ace unless designating it as a different card would complete a straight, flush, or straight flush.
		There is a tendency among some players to regard wild cards as "impure" or treat wild card games as silly or amateurish.
		While it is certainly true that a game with too many wild cards can become so random that all skill is lost, the occasional use of wild cards is a good way to add variation to a game and add opportunities for skillful play.

		After several mediocre past efforts, the Rippingtons are back with a vengence with this new CD, "Wild Card." In fact, after listening to the samples on my computer, I was not going to buy this CD because it sounded awful through the small speakers on my laptop.
