Spring training cancelled to finish World Series

Does anyone else see the stupidity in playing 99% of your sports' games in hot summer weather and then playing the championship games in rain and sleeting conditions? A 2010 Cubs/Twins World Series wouldn't get finished until Mid-May the following year. If Al Gore is right (and only a fool would believe otherwise) MLB should shorten the regular season to end on Sept. 1 and play the World Series in a neutral site that today we call, "the North Pole". In a couple of years, it should be a perfect baseball weather up there. Plus, the addition of Polar Bear burgers and baby seal nuggets would be a welcome change from the typical ballpark food.

If there weren't 162 regular season games and then a couple dozen more post-season games, how could we fairly crown the World Series Champion? Is it just me or was a Philadelphia/Tampa Bay World Series the worst possible match up for MLB? Bud Selig's skin must be sweating with disgust in his vintage polyester suit.

I think we could come up with a mathematical formula that would determine a champion by pure overall stats. After 162 games you compile wins-losses-era-batting avg.-etc. and crown the best. That way there are no blow out games where Jose Canseco throws 2 innings of 10-hit ball in a mop up situation. Every inning counts. Plus, guys like A-Rod can earn their money by compiling stats in an 8-0 games.
