SPORTS: A rose by any other name ...

Say it with me .. The American League Divisional Championship Series. Just trips off the tongue doesn't it? Euccchhh. To be followed by the American League Championship Series, the ALCS, cuz the real name stinks.

The problem is 'Championship.' It COMPLETELY misrepresents the first round and only slightly is more meaningful after that.

Now, let's try ... The American League Pennant Semi-Finals. Then the American League Pennant Series. Now THAT sounds better, doesn't it? Leads right into the World Series.
