    Thread for the playoffs. Thankfully for me and other Mets fans, the 2017 regular season has come to an end but I'm really looking forward to the playoffs. Some great match ups ahead and God only knows who's going to come out on top.

    I enjoyed this article on the rosters of each of the playoff teams.

    From a Mets perspective thank God that season is done & dusted.

    Can't wait for this Post Season. Some of these games have the potential to be epic.

    I'm firmly pinning my colours to the Indians mast.

    Worst thing about the Dodgers getting home field advantage, is the lateness of all of the games. Can't see myself staying up for many games. Will try on Friday night for Game 1 though

    The very late games I watch back the next day. The good thing about being in Ireland is that it's easy enough to avoid seeing the result.

    You guys have a great bullpen and more than enough fire power to get runs of Twins pitching. Still a long way to go. What a start to the playoffs!

    Have a feeling about Byron Buxton tonight. Think he'll pull off a crazy catch or hit a huge dinger

    I would say there's a risk of the Indians being 2-0 up before the Yankees know what's happened to them.

    Sevarino can come back earlier now can’t he after only 30 pitches? Or would Yankee fans want him back?

    Fair play to the Twins. Went from a 100 loss season last year to making the playoffs.

    The Yankees v Indians looks like it could be a tasty series.

    Its a No for me, he had absolutely nothing last night.
    Not 1 of his pitches gave off any confidence
    He looked so nervous

    What about that crowd pop when judge hit that fly ball down on top of Buxton. If that had of gone deep I think the foundations would have shook.
