Milwaukee St. Season Opener

I'm watching the Phillies battle the Dodgers as we speak, and all I have to say about the baseball playoffs is this: the four teams left are all excellent ball clubs and all four have a legitimate shot at winning the World Series.  Is this a cop out?  Would you rather prefer me spout off six or seven completely illegitimate reasons as to why one team will win over the other three?  I certainly have heard enough talk about the baseball playoffs, most of it meaningless.

Baseball playoffs is about watching and enjoying the games, not talking about it.  Why?  Baseball is a game of fractions of inches.  A ball hit a fraction of an inch differently can be the difference between a pop-out to the infield and a home run.  A pitch released a millisecond early or late can be the difference between a ball and a strike.  The only way to truly interpret baseball statistics is to look at long-term trends and analyze large data sets.  Even the most detailed analysis, however, cannot predict short term results.  It cannot be done with baseball.  CANNOT BE DONE.  The sample size of the playoffs is far too small for any accurate analysis.  Thus, stop the talk.  Stop the predictions.  Picking a team to win the World Series takes no skill whatsoever.  I recommend simply watching the rest of the baseball playoffs for the intense, high-stakes, spectacle that it truly is.  If you want a prediction, ask your niece which team has the coolest looking uniforms.  She has the same chance at being correct as the talkers on ESPN.
