I guess that's a matter of opinion, but to me the only thing which makes the Central "more exciting" is the fact that you either win the division or go golfing, as there will be NO wildcard for the loser. And speaking of which, do not forget that, with the new wildcard format, there will be only ONE play-in game, so the value of winning one's division has more importance today than it has had since the old days before the playoffs expanded. That added, for instance, even more significance to the Yanks/A's series which just ended, as it potentially meant either one or the other team would have to travel 2500 miles to compete in a "sudden death" game.

But with myopic "homer" loyalty, I'd not expect you guys to see that for yourselves.
