MLB Boys of Summer Update

The Wild Card games have been done and dusted. The 3 (if needed) games for each "conference" were played in the stadiums of the teams with the best records and Nooy Yark, Chicago, LA and Detroit are through. Detroit were the only side to win away. LA were the only side to win in two.



Everything now chugs up to 5 games in the Division Series, with the first two games at the club with the worst record and the last 3 (if all are needed) at the club with the best record for each pairing. So for example, Noo Yark host The Blow Jays for 2 games then they play the final 3 in Toronto. First to win 3 goes through so if either side wins the first 3 or 3 out of 4 games then it's feet up for a few days. How they work out these pairings is beyond me though given both The Blow Jays and The Yankees won more games than either Detroit or Seattle. Looks like they work it out from the Wild Card pairings.



Starting to get the hang of this freeimage thing. It's not as daft as it first seemed to be. You can get links for individual images. Glad I'm not doing this weekend's thread updates on my phone though.
