I like that the 2005 White Sox are always going to be the "since the [team]" of this particular stat.
The 17 IP pitched by Snell and Yamamoto are the most by any team’s SP over the first two games of a postseason series since the 2005 White Sox threw 17 1/3 IP in the ALCS

The owners have and will always push for a salary cap, no matter what happens on the field. There’s no amount of competitive balance, perceived or actual, that will deter that—because competitive balance isn’t the actual goal.
I'm not linking it, you can find it, etc.

But yes, if you think owners aren't going to use back-to-back championships for the Dodgers based on what they've done in the off-season, you're insane.

Because I'm lazy and haven't turned off the annual sale, you can still get 12 months of Sox Machine for the price of 10 to read wonderful stories like these. I've set the expiration for tomorrow, so consider this an actual final warning. soxmachine.com/products
