Thank you, once again, Rob Fucking Neyer

You don't need Insider to know this guy is awesome.

I believed it last week, I believed it yesterday and I believe it today. Which isn't to say I'm all that surprised by the results thus far. The biggest mismatch in World Series history arguably was in 1906, when the 116-win Cubs faced the White Sox. The Sox won in six games. In 1990, the dynastic A's played the upstart Reds ... and got swept. If you're terribly surprised by anything that happens in October, you haven't been paying much attention to old Octobers.
