Re: The MLB Playoffs crapshoot theory
Agreed, but what about a series that we all expect to be a sweep and it is.. We just say that the team had no chance right?

Going into the 2004 ALCS we all expected a 7-game series. You're right about how close it was to being a sweep..VERY close.. but wasn't the end result of the series what we all expected it to be from the beginning? Now.. nobody predicted that the Sox would be the 1st team to comeback from 3-0 obviously, but we expected it to be close.. Just like we expected the Yankees to win the world series in 2000 even after they lost something like 13 of their last 15 or whatever it was.. we still looked at the experience and how the Yankees don't get flustered in pressure situations, etc..

I understand what you're saying completely, I just like to believe that the best team wins the world series in more years than not.

I believe the Yankees were the best team in every year expect '96, same with the last two titles from the Sox.. but you're argument holds weight with the '03 Marlins or the '06 Cardinals. I think the White sox were the best team in 2005.
