Ubaldo Jimenez / Cliff LeeWhile the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers were a delicious appetizer on Tuesday night to the MLB postseason, the real meal begins this afternoon as the baseball playoffs officially get underway. There are eight teams remaining, all with the same goal of hoisting that World Series trophy in a champagne-soaked locker room next month. Some of them were expected to be here, others surprised us.

All of them deserve it.

The defending champion Philadelphia Phillies will start things off against the Colorado Rockies, and they'll be followed by the New York Yankees versus the Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals.

FanHouse will be here for all of it as well. So please, join us after the jump for all the fun.
