MLB Playoff Schedule 2013: Start Times, Dates, Live Stream and TV Info

There's the slightest of chills creeping into the air, football is once again dominating Sundays and, the tension of the World Series inserts itself into everyday living. 

The MLB postseason is at its grandest stage, folks.

The Boston Red Sox advanced to the World Series on Saturday night after beating the Detroit Tigers 5-2. Boston won the series 4-2. 

On the National League side, the St. Louis Cardinals won their fourth National League pennant in 10 years. They will look to win their third World Series title during that same span when they take on the Red Sox, the team that swept them in the 2004 Fall Classic. 

Excited yet? You can practically taste the October baseball.
