Cubs tanked and won but didn't win because they tanked. |

All of those FLIPS were available to a run of the mill bad Cub team not specifically trying to lose. |

I'm not sure you would call the Astros a tank. It was more a decade long organizational devastation after being beaten in historic fashion by the World Series Champion White Sox in 2005. It's understandable. |

So....the Sox must still be riding the wave of euphoria since the Astros got back to, and won, the Series first? |

It helped not playing the most dominant team this century. Interesting debate since the Dodgers came in at 7-1 and with a historically great season. Maybe they were going to be the most dominant, but the Astros played better this time. 2005 Astros faced the 99 win 7-1 in the post season White Sox 2017 Astros faced the 104 win, 7-1 in the post season Dodgers |
