Can I Pick 'Em Or What?

So I was favouring an all-Chicago World Series this year, and now the Cubs and White Sox are both down 0-2 in their best-of-5 Divisional Series! The Cubs look absolutely pathetic, having lost both games at home and to the playoff team with the worst seasonal record (LA Dodgers), all the while being outscored 17-5.

Interestingly, just as all 4 home teams scored first in each of the Game 1s, all 4 visitors have now put runs on the board first in each Game 2! That's kind of wacky!

The only Game 2 still not decided as I write this post has the Red Sox up 4-1 on the Angels, playing in the 4th inning. If LA doesn't come back in that game, that'll mean that every series will be 2-0, with half of the leaders heading home with a chance to sweep (Boston and the Dodgers) while the other half try to achieve that feat on the road (Phillies and Tampa Bay). I really, really hope that we don't end up with a bunch of short series, as happened last year! Let's play a little harder than that, boys!
