Let's discuss all of the postseason games, news and notes here! 

Here's the bracket.

I'm pulling for the Rays, White Sox and Indians in the AL and Marlins, Reds and the Padres in the NL. 

Let's go!!!!!

Cole vs Beiber should be interesting.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Reds over White Sox.

Houston given the Tues 11am game.

AKA the skank shift.

Anyone but the Latriners, Cheatin Asstros, and Skanks

Their excellent home field record means nothing now. All games played on neutral fields.

If it comes down to the Skanks, Dogs,  and Stros...whats your order in least miserable to most ... Skanks, Dogs, Stros for me. 

Hoping Cleveland or San Diego can pull it off.

My hopes for the postseason. Every series is a sweep and the offseason gets here fast. I honestly don’t care who wins and won’t watch a single postseason game. Go Angels hire a President of baseball operations and hire a GM. It’s time you join the ranks of the other successful teams in the sport. 

[Docwaukee]

I actually don't really care as long as Houston doesn't win.

I forget are the Angels not allowed to interview or hire for their vacant position until after the postseason? I know that in the NFL a handful of guys interview during the playoffs for coaching jobs.

I think the first round are played in home stadiums. 

[Docwaukee]

crazy to think that all you have to do is win 2 of 3 to get to the next round.  that just seems too random for me.

I doubt this is what they mean when they say consistency is a good thing.

The postseason excitement is palpable.
