The Cubs made the playoffs in a far tougher division than the one the Sox play in. I\'d take Houston and St. Louis over Minnesota and Kansas City any day, plus you get all those games against the Tigers. A regular season series means nothing. It\'s a few games out of 162. So many things can line up that way that make it an inaccurate representation of how good a team really is. You won 4 out of 6 this year, only one game more than a split. And yet, you never once faced Prior, and faced Wood only once, in a game you lost. You got wins over Estes and Clement twice. Congrats. And these games were in June. Nothing screams meaningless more.
