We're now down to eight teams battling it out for the coveted prize: a golden trophy with lots of flags and stuff...
Today (Friday) we've got a quadruple header. At 1pm Pittsburgh will try to even their series with St. Louis after the Cardinals smoked A.J. Burnett last night like he was still a Yankee. Rookie Gerrit Cole (10-7, 3.22) goes up against Lance Lynn (15-10, 3.97).
3pm sees the beginning of the ALDS(es) with Boston hosting Miracle Bay. It's a southpaw buffet with Matt Moore (17-4, 3.29) opposite Jon Lester (15-8, 3.75).
Back to the National League at 6pm with the Dodgers hoping their bravery over the Braves continues. (Awful, I know.) Zack Greinke (15-4, 2.63) goes toe to toe with lefty Mike Minor (13-9, 3.21).
Finally at 9:30 we get a rematch of last years ALDS as Oakland hosts Detroit. Max Scherzerzerzerzazer (21-3, 2.90) opposes the ageless Bartolo Colon (18-6, 2.65).
Feel free to use this thread for whatever comments you have about playoff stuff, though I think I've covered the bad joke quota already.
