And that includes the White Sox if, hypothetically, the White Sox were allowed to compete in the post-season. It's just a couple of games and baseball is an extremely luck-plagued sport. The playoffs are much fun when you have a strong rooting interest in the games but I don't derive much profound meaning from any of it. After a few games, I've watched practically none of the pre and post-game analysis. None of it To me, it's almost entirely unwatchable, all of it. Just mindless blather. There's some good stuff in there but the signal to noise ratio is microscopically tiny. The pre and post game analysis is riddled with Yankees, which is enough for me to avoid it.
