It's not just his West Coast mindset that has Tim Lincecum seeing red when it comes to baseball's looming postseason revamp.

A slugger from the East agrees.

The New York Yankees are among the teams that would be hurt from the change that would push the number of postseason teams in baseball to 10 and would grant division winners several days rest amid a short wild-card series.

Or so says Mark Teixeira.

But Lincecum's train of thought follows Teixeira's in lock step.

"It doesn't seem very fair, and personally I don't know where his head is at," Lincecum said Friday of commissioner Bud Selig, who confirmed Thursday that the league was moving toward an expanded postseason, with details still to be worked out.

"It doesn't seem right to me," Lincecum said, according to the Contra Costa Times.

Teixeira said once the regular season is over and done, all things should be equal.

"For a team like us, I don't like it," Teixeira said, according to the New York Daily News. "We battle all year long in a very tough division; if you win the division and have to have five or six days off before the start of the playoffs, or you win the wild card and still have to play another one- or three-game series just to get into the playoffs, it doesn't make much sense."

Since 1995, eight of the 30 baseball teams have made the playoffs. In the NFL, 12 of 32 teams make the playoffs. In the NBA and NHL, 16 of 30 advance to the postseason.

But in the new MLB format, two wild cards in each league would meet, and the winners would advance to the next round against division winners.

"Players like it the way it is," Lincecum bristled. "It's dog-eat-dog. People know they need to win 11 games to win the World Series.

"Nobody wants to have to worry, 'Oh [expletive], now I've got another [expletive] team in the [expletive] mix. Now we have to worry about what that takes and what they're going to do.' What if the [second] wild-card team is not deserving of getting in?"
