Unofficial word is the O's will be at 1pm on Friday.
Right, that's what we all assumed. But as Shemp pointed out, TBS says the Friday TBS games (ie, ALDS) are 6 and 9:30.
This is the first year with the DS on two different networks, so I'm hoping TBS just jumped the gun on the schedule…

This is what the Angels are saying:
AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES START TIMES:
Depending on the outcome of the AL Wild Card Game, the Angels will play Game 1 this Thursday at Angel Stadium vs. Kansas City at 6:07pm PT or vs. Oakland at 6:37pm PT.
Game 2 at Angel Stadium will start Friday at 6:37pm PT (KC) or 7:07pm PT (OAK)

Game 1 between the Orioles and Tigers at Camden Yards will start at 5:37 p.m. if the Royals win the American League wild card game, and 6:07 p.m. if the Athletics are victorious.
Game 2 on Friday at Camden Yards will begin at 3:07 p.m. if the Pirates win the National League wild card game, and 12:07 p.m. if the Giants are victorious.
If the Giants win 'Sleep fast', as Buck would say.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/29/upshot/the-2014-mlb-playoffs-have-a-neighborly-feel.html?_r=0&abt=0002&abg=0This year?s postseason offers the most intriguing set of potential geographic matchups in years. There are four possible World Series matchups involving local rivals: Dodgers-Angels, Nationals-Orioles, Cardinals-Royals and A?s-Giants. An earlier round could feature a series between the Dodgers and the Giants, one of baseball?s most historic rivalries.
It may be the largest group of potential regional matchups in the era of expanded playoffs, which began in 1995.

It's an absolute delight for me.
I obviously grew up in Anaheim, know a ton of Dodger fans, lived in DC when Baltimore was the only game in town and still have ties to a ton of DC folks, and now live next to the ballpark in SF and work near Oakland. I even have some close friends from my Commish days in KC.
Julian's all I got on the Tigers, but he's known to be outspoken…
This might be the greatest playoff scenario I could possibly have dreamed up.

I've got tickets for Game 5, but I'd gladly take a refund and go to the ALCS.

I'm nowhere near as optimistic about Detroit's chances as I was the last three years. Detroit will dominate one game in this series; Baltimore will too. Detroit will lose one game of the 1-0 or 2-1 variety, and their bullpen will give up 5 in another. Baltimore in 4.

Detroit took four of five from the Orioles during the regular season.
Is that fact irrelevant in the playoffs?

This Detroit team is going to lose hilariously. I can just feel it. They are like a giant slice of swiss cheese with these huge holes and no matter what they do, Baltimore is bound to hit one of them.

It is. Plus that was way back in May. Hunter was still the closer then.

The AL East Champion Baltimore Orioles will host the AL Central Champion Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of the AL Division Series at Camden Yards on Thursday, October 2nd at either 5:37 p.m. (ET) or 6:07 p.m. (ET), depending on the winner of the AL Wild Card Game. Later that evening, at either 9:07 p.m. (ET)/6:07 p.m. (PT) or 9:37 p.m. (ET)/6:37 p.m. (PT), the AL West Champion Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will host the winner of the AL Wild Card Game (either the Oakland Athletics or the Kansas City Royals) in Game 1 of the ALDS at Angel Stadium. Both of Thursday?s games will be exclusively televised by TBS.
On Friday, October 3rd, the Eastern start times of the four Division Series games will be 12:07 p.m.; 3:07 p.m.; 6:37 p.m.; and either 9:37 p.m. or 10:07 p.m. The Division Series matchups in those time slots are still to be determined based on the winners of the AL and NL Wild Card Games presented by Budweiser.http://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2014/09/29/mlb-releases-division-series-start-times-and-networks-through-sunday/

Here's hoping the bats come alive for the Orioles.

Adam Dunn not in the lineup for the A's!?
First playoff game in his 13 year career and he sits.
