I was thinking the same thing Paul. I don't have a dog in this postseason race, but I am enjoying the games more than I have in years. The long drought for all these teams is compelling, and a lot of Stars and young players playing at their best, and compelling story lines: Cubs - enough said; Dodgers - can they win with a $310M payroll or go bust; Mets, Royals and Jays all looking to end a long drought and have many exciting players.
I get the Cub's reaction winning for the first time at Wrigley, but watching the Jays celebrate today you would have thought they had won the WS - I liked it, but I don't recall teams reacting so much over a Division Series win. (I suppose it has a lot to do with the Jays losing the first two games and coming back to win)
