Right, but if LAD win the WS, or minimum at least get there, while Cle goes out 1st round, nobody is going to remember what went down in Sept, right?

I do not disagree with any of your points, and have noted in the past that Dave Roberts, how he thinks baseball is from a different universe, but LAD are still in the driver's seat.  

Forget what's happened the last 2+ weeks.  If you just woke up from a coma and checked the standings and found your LAD were way ahead in their division and in 1st overall, playing .650 baseball, you'd be ecstatic, out of your mind with glee.

Big picture.  Don't sweat the small stuff.  Remember your Kipling, man.

If.
