Playoffs!

Best time of year to be a baseball fan. The postseason begins Friday!

Defending AL champs Texas Rangers once again got the west by the horns. The Rangers host the emerging Rays in a ALDS rematch from last year. The Rays snuck past the Red Sox in the wild card race within the last few weeks and has once again earned a trip to the postseason.

The other ALDS series will feature the Tigers and Yankees.

On the National side, the Diamondbacks are back and so are the Brewers. The first time that the Brewers have won the NL central since...I think it's the realignment of '98 once the D-Backs and Rays entered the competition. Their series begin on Saturday. The Cards and Phillies are in the other NLDS series.

Every divisional series game will be on tbs, with some on TNT. Consult local listings and GO RANGERS!
