Andrew Vaughn will likely never have to pay for a drink in Milwaukee again after hitting the go-ahead and eventual game-winning home run in Game 5 of the NLDS.

This is not a thoughtful and incisive overview of the ALCS and NLCS. I was looking up some things yesterday and figured I'd share them rather than not. First of all, I was extremely pleased to watch the Blue Jays hardly break a sweat while humiliating the Yankees. But then I thought . . . shit, the Blue Jays are now really close to going to the World Series. . . . which means they could actually win the World Series. . . .

There’s the fact that the boring mega-payroll Dodgers just ousted the fun, also mega-payroll Phillies from the playoffs. (Ben has you covered.)
