MLB Championship Series Doubleheader

After playing until 12:30 last night, the Dodgers-Cardinals series has the early start in Game 2. 3 pm TBS Kershaw for the Dodgers, Wacha for the Redbirds. With Hanley Ramirez's injured, Nick Punto will get the start at SS for the Dodgers. I expect many many 'sliding into first' jokes and they will all be glorious.

FOX finally gets into the MLB Playoffs with the ALCS getting underway in Boston. Sanchez throws for Detroit, Lester for the Sox. Gametime is 7pm

its finally here. NLCS Game 1

LA Dodgers at St Louis Cardinals

Grienke -vs- Kelly

7:30 TBS

with the Pirates and A's bounced, most people's rooting interest have fallen by the wayside. Now we are in 'let cheer for compelling baseball' mode. I think I can talk myself into cheering for the Dodgers because of Puig!!! and Clayton Kershaw is a really good pitcher, but the whole 'spending a quarter billion dollars on payroll' thing is a huge turnoff.

Friday MLB Playoffs: Everybody plays!

Pittsburgh - St Louis noon start on MLB Network
Tampa - Boston 2pm start TBS
LA Dodgers - Atlanta 5pm TBS
Detroit - Oakland 8:35 TBS

Storylines
Two former Cy Young award winners will get starts tonight (Greinke for the Dodgers, Colon for the A's)
Can Pittsburgh bounce back from a blowout?
Weather may be a factor in Boston.
Will the Oakland Coliseum's plumbing be able to handle a crowd of more than 10,000?
