Blaine and Mark's amazing Redskins overshadowed by thrilling Chicago baseball

While Week 4 of the Sunday Football Picks featured one of the most amazing predictions in league history, that feat was topped by one of the greatest accomplishments in Chicago baseball history: The Cubs and White Sox made the playoffs together for the first time in 102 years! Now that steals the stage from the NFL for good reason.

Blaine and Mark were cheering on Sunday when their 11-point underdog Redskins toppled the mighty Cowboys in Dallas, giving them the third-best Amazing Pick of all time. But the big celebration came Tuesday night when both Chicago baseball teams were officially members of the postseason. The White Sox edged the Minnesota Twins 1-0 in a tiebreaker game at U.S. Cellular Field for the American League Central Division title. A diving catch by Sox center fielder Brian Anderson sealed the victory, making a booming home run by Jim Thome stand up.

So the Cubs (97-64) open a best-of-five series against the Los Angeles Dodgers (84-78) on Wednesday at Wrigley Field, while the White Sox (89-74) begin their best-of-five series against the Tampa Bay Rays (97-65) on Thursday in Florida. It's been three years since the White Sox last won the World Series, and exactly 100 years since the Cubs last did it. Guess which team is overdue for a championship.

The world was a very different place when the Cubs and Sox were last enjoying playoff baseball together in 1906. The president was Teddy Roosevelt, and there had never been a World War or Great Depression. Titanic had yet to sail and McDonald's was nowhere around. There was no such thing as air conditioning, television, Twinkies, helicopters, Mickey Mouse, toasters, Starbucks or microwaves. There were no motion pictures with sound. And there were only 45 states in the USA.

Thank goodness for the eventual creation of the Sunday Football Picks, which is now in its 29th year. Blaine led the pack in Week 4 with a 9-3 record that pulled him within a game of first place D.J., who boasts a 35-19 record.
