ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what Well, I disagree. I'm not always disappointed when the Cubs get eliminated. Sometimes they aren't the best team and the other team deserves to move on. The Cubs were a pretty flawed team last year and I think the Dodgers were the better team. I'm talking about scenarios and not necessarily how the MLB playoffs work in general. Yes, I know they are a crapshoot, and that luck and SSS plays a huge part in the playoffs. If you weren't disappointed when the Cubs were 4 (well, ultimately 3) wins away from another world series berth and failed to advance, that also makes you a horsefeathering weirdo.
