We're off to Orlando today for five days of conditioning before Fantasy Camp in North Port.  Weather is looking good so far.

And yes, I've been working on conditioning for months now.

In a sport where the postseason is 3 coinflips. 
I don't view this as true at all, there is a probabilistic view of outcomes to which I adhere, but one team is often simply better than the other and will win MOST of the time.  A coin flip is by definition 50-50.  If UGA and TCU play 100 times, UGA would probably win 80 of them.  It's not an honest coin flip.

You're citing a single football game for a post about small-sample baseball games.
Baseball is unique in that the best team doens't win 80-90% of the time, only 65%.  The worse teams don't win 10-20% (like in football), they win around 30-35%.  
The larger point was taking that sport and having a postseason of a best-of-5 and best-of-7 postseason series.  Mathematically speaking, having such a low sample in the LDS, LCS, and WS is a virtual coin flip.  MLB takes 6 months and 162 games to determine the best teams, and then undercuts itself by making the postseason an exercise in random chance.

Liam Hendricks, of the Chicago White Sox, two-time winner of the AL Reliever of the Year Award, announced he is starting treatment for non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

There is uncertainty when he can resume his playing career.

Ron Santo said of Perry, “The last time I faced him, every pitch Perry threw to me was a spitter.” Santo’s teammate Randy Hundley, who had been Perry’s catcher on the Giants, denied that every pitch was a spitball. “Only 90% of Perry’s pitches are spitters,” he said. In 22 seasons, Perry went 314-265 with a 3.11 ERA. He struck out 3,534.

Okay, MLB's financials are broken.
Joey Gallo just signed a 1-yr, $11 million deal......he hit .160 last year.

That's pretty cheap, considering what his power numbers were, and assuming he has somewhat of a bounceback
