Bud Selig announced today that the playoff schedule will be tightening up next season.I do think it was crazy this season how many off days there were.Bud Selig said " We are going to change it, I don't disagree with Mike Scioscia.I think he was right, so we're going to try and tighten that up."The Yankees played 15 games in 36 days from the end of the regular season to the end of the World Series.Baseball players are used to playing everyday, they play 162 games in 180 days.I understand that TV plays a factor and you have travel so it won't exactly be the same as the regular season but they should play as often as possible.If a series ends there is no reason that the team has to wait around for a week.I think when a series ends on a Saturday or Sunday they should be playing by that Wednesday.Bud Selig also said " When you plan the playoff schedule, you don't know how many games the first round will go so that is difficult.There were clubs that sat around, some were necessary, but some were not."Bud Selig also spoke about looking at instant replay and reworking the draft.His big thing is a slotting system to regulate signing bonuses but we will see what happens.I don't think they will do anything with instant replay yet but after all the missed calls in the postseason it has become a very hot topic and something has to be done.I don't see anything happening with the draft system but I am guessing he is trying to keep the teams like the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers from overslotting and getting the best players that way but the thing is those teams always draft near the bottom so it is fair in that way.

Monfils, who had never made the finals of a Masters 1000 event, missed a golden opportunity the week before in Valencia to remain in contention for the Tour finale in London.The Frenchman's productive yet inconsistent year, which had included a title in Metz and a runner-up finish in Acapulco, was respectable, but was it enoughHere was perhaps the best athlete on Tour, a player who had won three of the four Grand Slam events as a junior and at one time or another equaled or surpassed the Olympic curriculum for athletic measure.Thus, it was easy to determine that even though Monfils held many exquisite attributes, comprising of a few trick shots and a fist pump here and there, the youngster's style of play would ultimately lead to limited results.Putting on a good show simply held greater value than winning Major titles.So what suddenly changed in the mindset of Monfils while slapping back a Cilic overheadWas his career worthy of a second lookOne could say that Monfils' intervention took place as a result of his failure to qualify for London pain and reflection usually take place when the moment of truth has been revealed.More than Monfils' missed opportunity to qualify for London, I believe the Frenchman finally (as it so fittingly happened on one of his miraculous circus shots) posed this specific statement to himself: Hey, if I do apply myself on a week-to-week basis, there is no reason why I won't be able to remain in the elite ranks of the game.Now, I'm not saying that Monfils is a certifiable Grand Slam contender.

His shot selection and ability to play under pressure remain in question. However, if the Paris Masters taught us anything, it was that the age-old theory of "heart" and "fighting to the end" will remain the cornerstone of any great competitor.Even though Nadal was ushered out the event in convincing fashion by eventual champion Novak Djokovic, the Spaniard's resilience throughout the early stages of the tournament allowed for his deep progression. Against Nicolas Almagro and Tommy Robredo, Nadal's serve and forehand (his usual bread and butter) were "off," to say the least.However, what remained a constant for Nadal was his ability to give 100 percent under any circumstance.This tactic, or should I say mental asset, has served the Spaniard exceedingly well in his claim of both the No. 1 ranking and his six Major championships.With the 2010 season a mere six weeks from commencement, it will be rather interesting to observe Monfils' trajectory up (or down) the mental ladder.Remember folks, wanting to compete day in and day out is much easier than just reciting it to oneself. Monfils displayed tremendous grit throughout his last event of Tour, and if he is to creep up and become a consistent top-10 player, nothing short of a better game plan and continued belief must be present.Monfils does deserves credit for being consistent in one facet of the game throughout his six-year career: he's managed to play tennis under his own terms.

I asked Monfils earlier this year in Montreal after defeating Marat Safin in a first encounter if he ever thought of holding back a touch when accelerating towards a dynamic all-or-nothing passing shot.The charismatic 23-year-old, who was slouched over at the time, glanced down at his tennis shoes, thought about his answer for a second, and confidently replied, "If I don't play this way, I cannot play This is my game. 13 to discover is the conundrum of fusing his athletic ability with his seldom-used metal game.Will the task be easy Not a chance.Will it even happenJust like his miraculous portfolio of death-defying shots, La Monf has repeatedly proved that the unthinkable can be turned into a vivid reality..
