That's fucking ridiculous. The regular season is a much better indicator of good play because the sample size is so much greater. So what if the A's lost 3 out of 5 games? They often won 100 out of 162 games. A bad series in the playoffs doesn't diminsh that.
In 2003 the A's were much better than the Marlins. The Marlins luckily snuck into the playoffs and had a nice little hot streak to win the championship. Good for them. It's just three series'. Anything can happen, just like the Devil Rays sweep the Yankees sometimes and the Royals sweep the White Sox sometimes. That's baseball, the best team doesn't always win and the best team very occasionally wins the World Series.
Florida has never been the best team in MLB, in the NL, or even in their own division.
