Friday night the first ever wild-card "series" was played in each league. The defending World Series champs St. Louis Cardinals won over the Atlanta Braves, ending Chipper Jones' career on a sour note. Chipper went 0-5 and made a costly error. The Cardinals are on yet another spectacular run for their second consectuive title, after yet another late season surge to claim the wild-card spot. The defending two-time American League champion Texas Rangers were upset by the Baltimore Orioles in Arlington, both Yu Darvish and Josh Hamilton failing to come through for the Rangers. The Cards will face off against Bryce Harper and the Nationals Sunday, while the Orioles will play, of course, the New York Yankees. And that folks, has been the first ever, wild-card series! More to come on the 2012 MLB postseason.
