The MLB playoffs start next week, and I really enjoy the baseball playoffs. Here's what it boils down to; you spend six months working your way into the playoffs, and you can be out in four days.
Last season the Cubs were the best team in baseball. They had a lineup where everyone contributed (Derrek Lee to Ryan Theriot), and starting pitching that went 4 deep (Zambrano, Dempster, Harden, Lilly). So what happened? They went cold over a 4 day stretch and were swept by the Dodgers. For 6 months the Cubs were miles better than the Dodgers, but because of a cold 4 day stretch (the Nationals could beat the Yankees in a best-of-5) they were out and the Dodgers went on to the NLCS. It's ridiculous but it's exciting. All you have to do is make the playoffs; the wild card has won many times. And pray to God you don't get a bad start out of your ace.
