Note where the best teams (on paper) in all of baseball are from: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.

By contrast, the best teams in the NFL last year were from places like Pittsburgh, Phoenix, San Diego, Baltimore and Nashville.

We're just sayin. But shit obviously happens. There's always a chance for a small market team to make the World Series, and that's cool with us, no matter how much we gripe.
