The Wild Card round of the MLB playoffs rolls on. And while we won’t recapture the magical eight-games-in-one-day schedule that yesterday brought us, there are still five playoff games today, which would be unheard of in a typical season.
Yesterday, three AL teams punched their tickets to the Division Series, and the only one of them that doesn’t make us want to flip a table is the Rays, who looked every bit the part of the No. 1 seed in steamrolling the Blue Jays. Tampa Bay outscored Toronto 11-3 in the two-game sweep and thrashed the Jays’ best pitcher, Hyun-Jin Ryu, for seven runs.
