Jeter's last AB - a Baltimore chop.  Sweet.

4 of the 5 California teams made the playoffs.  If the A's and Giants win the Wild Card games, that could be a scheduling nightmare for MLB.

I was thinking about this too. Lots of late nights upcoming for us East Coasters.

I hope so too. This is too good. Philadelphia did something good this season!

Last year, the 4 games in one day were at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 6:00 PM and 9:30 PM.

The 9:30 game is almost certainly going to be Cardinals v Dodgers.  The Angels won't get the 1:00 slot, so I expect the 3:00 game to be Anaheim, regardless of who they play.

If the Giants win, I think the Nats will get the 6:00pm slot.  Not sure what happens if the Pirates win.

Unofficially the Orioles are getting the 6PM on Thursday and the 1PM on Friday.

The Thursday game will be 5PM, and that's pretty certain to be the O's as the other game is guaranteed to be on the West Coast and will be in the 8:30 time slot if they do the same as last year.

I suspect the 1PM game on Friday will be Baltimore as well.

TBS website says 6 and 9:30 for the Thursday games.

You're right - I was looking at last year's schedule. 

They're really screwing over the East Coast with that move....

Says 6 and 9:30 for Friday too.  And those are supposed to be ALDS....?  Hmmmm.

They're not going to double games up on us are they?  I will be incensed....

Maybe NLDS games will be early.  FS1 site is non-committal so far.

[K8teebug]

Some of the games are on TBS and some of them are on FS1.  For the ALDS/NLDS the games will likely be doubled up.  

Unofficial word is the O's will be at 1pm on Friday.

yell at america for liking the NFL more now.
