the sad thing is the playoffs had a chance to be REALLY good.
but the big markets like chicago and philadelphia fu.cked it up. if either of those teams made the rockies-type run through the NL playoffs, they could have made things interesting in the WS if for no other reason than they had big time bats at the top of their lineup and an ace that was capable of going toe to toe with beckett.
but as stated above, bos/cle was the only compelling series.
