OK, it's time to toss away the division series the way Jose Bautista tossed away his bat.
We're ready to move on to what should be two great championship series. But first—can I have that bat back for a sec?—let's revisit an extraordinary week of division series baseball.
There were 19 games, one shy of the maximum (only the Chicago Cubs wrapped up their series in four games). Most of the games were good, a handful were great...and then there was that Game 5 in Toronto.
There were stars, there was controversy and, unfortunately, there were a few big injuries. Jacob deGrom had 13 strikeouts in one game, six teams combined for 21 home runs in one day...and Bautista had that one awesome bat flip.
But quick, let's get started, because the American League Championship Series is about to begin at Kauffman Stadium Friday night.
On to the awards.
