[QUOTE="milani, post: 1100497, member: 6654"] As As deep as a team may get and show those results through 162 games that " short series " effect is always a possibility. Some of the deepest teams have been put down in the WS and even in the playoffs. Those Casey and Mantle Yankees lost several WS when they were loaded. 1960 vs. the Pirates comes to mind. Then those Earl Weaver Orioles won like 320 games from 1969-71, yet lost to the Mets and Pirates in 2 of those. The 1985 KC Royals were not world beaters but they found a way to beat 2 much better postseason opponents enroute to a WS championship. Stuff happens. Recall that goofy strike season in which one slipped by to the Yankees. It got Steinbrenner all excited about expanding the postseason. He did not realize that baseball was not a winter sport.
