I think everybody knows by now that the playoffs are a crapshoot. If you stuck the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in there one year, just for the heck of it, even they have a chance to win.

In my leagues, I've seen lots of 110+ win teams get beat in short series by teams who won only 85, 86 games. Which leads me to believe that in baseball, there is a lot of luck involved. On a fly ball down the line, only a couple of inches can mean the difference between a big three-run homer or a long strike.

This is why in one of my leagues, I don't even have playoffs. The regular season determines the true champion.
