The NL is really a minor league. The winner of the Pacific Coast
League could defeat any team in the NL.
Winning the NL is not any kind of accomplishment. As usual that team
will be the sacrificial lamb to whoever the AL champion is. The AL
playoffs are the real championship series.
That makes the White Sox 2005 postseason record of 11-1 all the more
remarkable besides the fact that it is a record that has never been
surpassed.
The Sox easily handled the NL winner with hardly any effort. The only
postseason loss was against an AL team.
