Since the Phillies thread is closed, I'll post the question here:
How many teams have gotten swept in a 4 game series by a losing club and gone on to win the Series? I'm guessing the answer is not many.
Most recent instance - 27th-30th July 2006: St Louis Cardinals swept in four-match series by Cubs (who would finish 66-96 that season) at Wrigley....only time that's happened in the past 10 seasons (assuming the Phillies come up a day late and 65p short this season).
