I'll grant you that. It still doesn't mean it wasn't a huge upset, even for baseball.

I agree that baseball is one of the sports that don't follow form as much as others, but that is why it's played as a series and not a single game. The better team should win a series more often than not. This is college ball, played by kids just becoming young adults. Lower seeds win their share. This was the number one overall seed getting beat before making it to the WS. It has happened quite a bit lately, You can not deny, though, that it is still an upset when it happens.
