Hard to believe that they have never faced each other in the playoffs.
If you think back…pre-divisional playoffs there was only one pennant winner and pre-wild card they couldn’t play post-season as both in same division.

True

It's the NLCS everyone outside of Milwaukee and Atlanta wants. Too bad, you can't have it!

Not technically playoffs, but one of the most famous HRs in MLB history was in a Giants-Dodgers one-game de facto playoff (even though it counted as regular season).

Fun fact:Bobby Thomson spent a few years as a Brave…this happens to be a 1956 Golden Stamp. It’s taken me 20 years to get to 99% finished on every version of Braves card, stamp, coin, pin…

Also the basis for one of the best episodes of M*A*S*H!
I lived in So Cal for a brief period of time and the Giants and Dodgers had a healthy amount of hatred toward each other. Not unlike Red Sox and Yankees. It should draw huge ratings.
Brewers and Braves should be decent as well. Hopefully the Brewers get the bats going.
So no Suter on the NLDS roster but we do have JBJ!

Was thinking about this last night.
Of the 4 teams remaining, who would I be pulling for? Honestly? I hate every one of these teams. I hate baseball.
1. I guess the Dodgers? Don't a ton of the players I hate. I guess.
2. Houston? Yeah they cheated, but I like watching a few of their players.
3. Atlanta? Ugh. It's not bitter about them beating the Brewers. I even like a lot of their roster. I just hate the franchise for so many reasons
4. Red Sox. This is about the only spot I could place them. F Boston, F the Red Sox, and F every Red Sox fan. They were a nice story in 2004. Now I hope they go another 200 years without a title in anything.
I can’t stand the Saux and their insufferable fans. I liked the Astros until they got caught fucking cheating (allegedly). The Dodgers are the new age Yankees. So I have to dislike them. That leaves ATL. I actually don’t mind them and hope they advance.
