And this year's unbelievably thrilling postseason continues, I can't ever remember a year like this... first there was that crazy final month, and final day, of the regular season, and now this... three of the four division series races went to five games, and all three of those games were low scoring, one-run games fought hard all the way to the end? Just amazing stuff, just amazing. And the upsets continue too. I mean, how many people guessed that the Red Sox, Yankees, and Phillies all wouldn't even make it to the Championship Series this year? (Perhaps also the Braves, but they have a bit more mixed record so them losing might not be quite as surprising. Hypothetically losing in the ALDS I mean, missing the postseason was quite surprising.)
So yeah, the final four is Rangers v. Tigers and Brewers v. Cardinals. Who'd have guessed. And two of those four teams have never won a world series before, either (Rangers and Brewers). Only the Cardinals have won one recently (the Tigers last won in 1984).
