Quoting Billy Beane "... what happens in the playoffs is f***ing luck.."
It's really just a tournament at the end of a 162-game season. I think it's been proven throughout baseball history that while the best team *should* win the World Series, with the few number of games in the playoffs -- it often doesn't happen. "There's always next year" (the eternal hopes of all fellow Mariners and Cubs fans)
