I just saw a potential contender for blooper of the year (non-Orioles category), with the Tigers outfield giving Kyle Seager a bit of an assist on a home run. Here it is in all its (lack of) glory.

Nobody talking about the playoffs yet? For shame.

Wild Card Games: Nationals beat Brewers 4-3 after than 8th inning implosion from the latter while Rays comfortably beat the A's 5-1.

First NLDS games: Cards stun Braves in a late nail-biter 7-6. Dodgers rout Nationals 6-0.

ALDS games begin today. First, Rays and Astros... #Rays Up!

Nothing would make me happier to see both the Braves and the Nationals lose.

The Yankees and the Astros need to be taken down a peg this season.

Tall order, I know.

Rays win first of the 4 games tonight to play another game.

Currently 4-3 Braves in the 8th.

ALCS: Astros and Yankees 2-1. Game 4 got delayed due to rain.

NLCS: Nationals sweep Cardinals 4-0 and get their first NL pennant in team history. Good for them! Division winner Braves in shambles

[up]Slight mistake there, Houston is up a game over New York, not the other way around (thank god).

I'm rooting for the Nationals myself, nice to see a new blood underdog actually do well in the post season. Pity about the Rays, they got rather far on a small budget. Tampa doesn't deserve that team.

Fixed.

The Rays are set to be beasts next year. This season was their window opening. We had too many offensive woes to make it deep, but this postseason was good for both them and the fanbase.

I'm also on the Nationals bandwagon. They have a legit 4-headed dragon in their starting rotation. Helps they showed their mettle beating the Dodgers.

Crazy how the Yankees tied it up with a home run... only to get walked off with a home run.

Game 2 to the Nationals again. A 12-3 ass-kicking.

Justin Verlander becomes the first pitcher in MLB history to have 5 losses without a win in the World Series.

Houston. You might just have a problem now.

Nope.

Excellent performance by Stephen Strasburg, who becomes only the 3rd pitcher to get 5 wins in a single postseason.

Not so much by Justin Verlander who's now 0-6 in his postseason career.

Seriously, WTF is this series? Who expected this?

In terms of 7 games series, there has never been 6 away wins before, let alone 7. Not in MLB, NHL, or the NBA (if several Tweets/articles are to be trusted).
