Did Chipper Jones see into the future?

Earlier this month, retiring Braves third baseman Chipper Jones said the one-game wild card playoff was "stupid."
Why?
Now if you were to say the two wild-card teams will play a best two-out-of-three [series], I'd be OK with that. I think it's more fair from a standpoint that anything can happen in one game -- a blown call by an umpire, a bad day at the office … at least in a two-of-three game series you have some sort of leeway.
With Friday's infield fly rule call by Sam Holbrook in the eighth inning of the first-ever wild card game, Jones' words seem prophetic.
