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.
ALDS Game 5
Detroit at Oakland

Wednesday playoffs: NLDS Game 5
Pittsburgh at St Louis 7pm
Cole for the Buccos, Wainwright for the Redbirds.

Tuesday Playoffs
Oakland at Detroit. 4pm Oakland leads the series 2-1

there is a possibility that by the end of the night both "ii" and "_elmOn" could be out of the playoffs.

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?
NL Playoff Day
Pirates-Cards are under way
Dodgers - Braves later tonight
AL Wild Card: Tampa at Cleveland 7pm
Tampa throws out starter Bob Alex Cobb while the Clevelander will start Danny Salazar. Delmon Young is the DH for the Rays and it batting 7th. I expect he will see 6 total pitches tonight.
Game is televised on TBS.
