          This has been an incredible inning.

          The O's fans are chanting "THIS IS AWESOME!"

          Indeed it is. Indeed it is.

                Is it true that the Tigers bullpen is actually composed of amateur cricket bowlers?

                    I do love that the winners so far tend to be defying the CW of the experts. The jerkfaces at ESPN were positively dismissive of the Orioles, only one of which predicted they'd beat the Tigers. One even predicted Detroit in 3. Pfffffbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbllllltt

                      Today's playoff games can be "found" on Fox Sports 1 and the MLB Network.
                      Sunday's games are both on TBS.

                        I assume that TBS has the AL and FS1 has the NL with mlb having some somewhere?

                          Don't know or care. My point is that MLB is making me go hunting for playoff TV, and I shouldn't have to. Speaking strictly from my personal experience, they aren't publicizing their playoffs worth a damn. I haven't seen a TV ad, a FB ad, or even a banner on a sports (or any other) website. That's actually pretty important when your playoffs aren't available on any broadcast station. Their marketing effort seems to be at its most pathetic right when the stakes are highest.

                          It's no wonder baseball is in danger of slipping behind hockey and basketball in the pro sports hierarchy. It's like they are trying to out-Bettman everyone.

                            When your games routinely go 4+ hours, you're going to have a hard time appealing to the major networks.

                              MLB 2014

                              If you watched the Bears game you saw plenty of ads for the NL games on fox sports one. This is the same setup they had last few years - TBS with NLDS and another cable network with ALDS plus a few games on mlb.tv.

                              The lack of ads is basically acknowledging that the DS is a local affair. The World Series gets more ads, and is partially on broadcast.

                              And four hours is ludicrous. Average is just over three (3:08 this year, up from 2:55 in 2010). Too long yes, but no longer than a football game.

                                Looks like it's going to be Orioles v. Royals for the AL pennant. These sweeps are pretty shocking. I honestly thought the Angels were the best team in baseball
