Painting the Corners

After a wild, wild, Wild Card weekend featuring THREE upsets, the original field of 12 is down to 8 as we move on to the Division Series!

Big questions loom: How will the new playoff format affect the top seeds? Will their time off help them rest and rejuvenate, or will they go cold after almost a week with no games? Can anyone pull off an upset in a round that looks much less balanced than the last?

And how about three cities that haven't hosted playoff baseball in over a decade! Philadelphia, San Diego, and Seattle will be ROCKING this weekend!
