Spotting the games
"Major League Baseball’s new one-game wild-card matchups will air on TBS, while two Division Series games in the 2012 and ’13 postseasons will move from TBS to MLB Network.
But there is a downside to the news: Because MLB Network reaches just 69 million of the nation’s 114 million households, that leaves 45 million that won’t be able to see those Division Series games. They will not be on another channel in a given market.
This year’s wild-card games will be played Friday, Oct. 5, two days after the end of the regular season. Any tiebreaker games will be played Oct. 4 and also will be aired on TBS."

This is weird... I get mlb network, but I would be so pissed if I didn't and wasn't allowed to watch my team play in the playoffs.
