As I noted the Astros were 5-2 during the regular season vs the White Sox, but unfortunately that doesn't mean anything in the playoffs. White Sox got the Pope's blessing and it was all over! Fitting end to a struggling team all year. I'd like to see the Guardians have a shot at the ALCS
Alas, the playoffs caught the Cubs in the down mode of their up and down season. Add to that they played the red hot Padres who obviously are peaking at the right time. It was a recipe for disaster. I guess we'll have to - once again - wait 'til next year.
