Some Random Baseball Thoughts

Congrats to the Rays and Phillies to moving on to the World Series. My prediction of Rays-Dodgers was oh so close. Granted I made that call two games into the Division Serieses, but hey, could have been worse.

Strangely, AL East has been repping the AL in the World Series a lot in the last decade. And when I say a lot I mean A LOT.

Of the last ten series (1998-2008 (which might be 11 series)) the AL East has been represented in 8 of them.
1998: Yankees
1999: Yankees
2000: Yankees
2001: Yankees
2002: Angels
2003: Yankees
2004: Red Sox
2005: White Sox
2006: Tigers
2007: Red Sox
2008: Rays

That is a lot of AL East. They've won 5 of the 10 that occured.

So yeah.

That is your random baseball thought for today.
