I personally feel that it is an outrage, an insult, and whatever
else you want to call it, to have teams with losing records in
the playoffs. This also applies to basketball. I think there should
be Federal legislation enacted that states that no team with a losing
record (except a division winner) is permitted to be in the playoffs
of any professional sport. What if a 21-44 club won the championship?
It's not an upset...it's an embarrassment!
