[quote:60b3974fb2]Meaning even if the 108 win team won the first three games of the playoffs it has a .446 * .446 *.446 *.446 or about one in 25 chance of losing 4 in a row to the 87 win team, which I think would be very frustrating.[/quote:60b3974fb2]

Empirically, Charlie, I can say that it [b:60b3974fb2]IS [/b:60b3974fb2]frustrating. My 108 win team was swept out of the Semis :evil:

Ask the 69 Baltimore Orioles the answer to that question . . . ? Or the Baltimore Colts vs. NY Jets....and a host of other examples. Seems to be more intangibles in baseball though, where this happens more often than in other sports...a game of inches, luck, and miliseconds....huh?

2001 Mariners... 116 wins. And they didn't make the WS.
