With two months to go in an eight-month season, it's fair to say that by most standards MLS has enjoyed a good season. The level of play slowly keeps improving. League-wide attendance is about to set a new record.

Which basically takes a small problem (lack of reward for long, arduous regular season) and makes it a huge one (an incomprehensible scheduling scheme).
