Watch The Playoffs With Us This Week
The postseason kicks off tonight with the American League Wild Card game starting at 8 pm eastern time. Tomorrow night, we get the NL Wild Card game — in what might be the most fascinating single MLB game I can remember in some time — and then the ALDS starts on Thursdday, with the NLDS starting Friday and bringing us our first four-games-in-a-row day.
To celebrate the launch of the postseason, we’re going to live blog every single game between now and Friday night. I’m going to be hosting (along with Sean Dolinar) the AL Wild Card game tonight — and imploring both managers to go to the bullpen after every pitch, probably — while Jeff (and maybe Carson…) will be here for the NL Wild Card game tomorrow night. We’ll then have coverage of both games on Thursday and all four on Friday as well.
If you haven’t been part of a postseason live blog before, they’re a blast. Plan on hanging out with us as we watch some October baseball, no spreadsheets required.

“…(and maybe Carson…)…”
I can almost hear the resigned sigh behind these words.
If you just read everything Carson says in the style of Perd Hapley, it helps.
Oh my god. Now I’m going to spend my afternoon going through his old posts reading them in Perd Hapley’s voice.
The observation that this commenter has is a statement, and that statement is that the above commenter has a good idea.
The suggestion above is intriguing, and now I am going to investigate what he said.
Almost?
