After a scramble to finish the regular season, the playoffs are finally on deck. With 10 teams left, here are 10 questions to carry fans through October:CAN THE CUBS DO IT?Joe Maddons crew romped to 103 wins, and now the North Side of Chicago is set up for either the biggest party of all time or the most brutal disappointment ever. Nothing in between for Wrigleyville, really. The pressure wont rattle Jon Lester and John Lackey -- theyve pitched in these spots. Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and the young hitters must handle hopes and expectations that have been building since the Cubs last World Series championship in 1908.WILL KERSHAW COME UP ACES?Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw is all set to pitch Game 1 at Washington. Hes certainly got the pedigree: Cy Young Awards, ERA titles, 20-win seasons and an MVP. What he doesnt have is a winning record in the playoffs -- 2-6. And in his last six starts in the postseason over the past three years, hes 1-5 with a 5.45 ERA, plus a high walk and home run rate. Remember, Hall of Famers Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine had losing career marks in the postseason. But Kershaw could use a couple of wins to round out an otherwise glittering resume.ONE MORE BIG SWING FOR BIG PAPI?David Ortiz had a dream season in his final year -- huge numbers, an MVP candidate, a worst-to-first turnaround by the Red Sox. His likeness has been cut into the grass at Fenway Park, his legacy is etched into history. What the retiring 40-year-old DH really wants is one more ring -- hes won three with Boston and owns a career .455 batting average and .576 on-base percentage in the World Series. He begins these playoffs against former manager Terry Francona and Cleveland.WILL MADBUM STAND TALL?When last seen in the postseason, Madison Bumgarner posted a Giant save to win Game 7 in Kansas City. The 6-foot-5 lefty will try to save San Franciscos season on Wednesday night in the NL wild-card game, on the road vs. the Mets. In 2014, he pitched a shutout at Pittsburgh to win the wild-card game. If he gets to the World Series, watch out -- no one can match his 4-0 mark with one save and an 0.25 ERA.WHOS HURTIN?Stephen Strasburg, Carlos Carrasco and Jacob deGrom are among the injured aces as the playoffs begin. Wilson Ramos, Neil Walker and Michael Brantley are out, too. A few others have been banged up, with Daniel Murphy, Eduardo Nunez and Danny Salazar among them. Its easy to wonder what a team wouldve done with a full roster; this late in the year, as managers often say, its not worth worrying about.WHAT ABOUT THE TRADE-OFFS?In late July 2015, the Royals acquired Johnny Cueto and Ben Zobrist, and the pair helped them win the crown. A lot of big names moved to contenders this year in midseason -- Carlos Beltran and Jonathan Lucroy to Texas, Matt Moore (Giants), Aroldis Chapman (Cubs), Andrew Miller (Indians), Mark Melancon (Nationals) and Jay Bruce (Mets). Well soon see which trade-deadline guys deliver.WHOS NEW?Orioles slugger Mark Trumbo led the majors with 47 home runs and powered into his first postseason. Red Sox outfielders Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley Jr. also get to play for the first time on the big stage. Productive newcomers Trea Turner, Nomar Mazara and T.J. Rivera will join them this week.GOT A BEEF?A bat flip by Jose Bautista last October sparked a wild scene in Toronto, and lingering ill will led to him getting punched this season by Texas Rougned Odor. Just imagine if they meet again this month. Brawls are rare in the playoffs, but they happen -- the Blue Jays, as we got to see, dont take no guff.ANYONE GET SKIPPED?Quite a collection of managers in these playoffs. Some have won the World Series (Bruce Bochy, Francona, John Farrell), others have gotten close (Dusty Baker, Terry Collins). Some have been in the playoffs before (Buck Showalter, Joe Maddon, John Gibbons, Jeff Banister), while Dave Roberts (Dodgers) made it in his first year.STARTER OR RELIEVER?Many of the most-scrutinized decisions this month will involve how managers handle their pitching staffs. Use a starter like Cole Hamels on short rest, or maybe in emergency relief? Push a closer like Kenley Jansen for four outs, or five or six? Four-man rotation or three? With a lot of teams trying to advance farther than theyve been in years -- the Cubs, Indians, Texas and Washington -- get ready to ramp up the second-guessing.

Its an influence in football and a big part of the game. NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Jay Haas shot an 8-under 63 on Saturday to take a five-stroke lead in the Toshiba Classic, putting himself in position to become the second-oldest winner in PGA Tour Champions history.At 62 years, 10 months, 7 days Sunday, Haas would fall short of only Mike Fetchick, the 1985 Hilton Head Seniors Invitational winner at 63 years to the day. Gary Player is No. 2 on the list at 62 years, 9 months, 22 days in the 1998 Northville Long Island Classic.I dont know whats gotten into me other than -- and Ive always said the ball doesnt know how old you are or what your name is or anything like that -- if you hit a good shot, it goes right down the middle and on the green and in the hole, Haas said. So, Im not trying to think about being old or anything like that. I feel good, I feel positive with my swing. Im not doing it with smoke and mirrors.Haas missed a chance to shoot his age when his eagle try to 18 stopped short.I knew that, yeah, he said. It was great to even have an opportunity to do that. Obviously, when I was over the putt, I did not think that.The 2007 winner at Newport Beach Country Club, Haas has played 36 holes without a bogey. He shot a 64 on Friday for a share of the first-round lead with Billy Mayfair.I was feeling solid on the greens and so I was somewhat aggressive and had some nice chances to even get lower, but obviously I made some nice putts, too, Haas said. Maybe, probably 18 feet at No. 4 and then probably 25 feet at No. 5. Those two were not stealing, but you dont expect to make those a lot of times.Haas won the last of his 17 senior titles in 2014.dddddddddddd He won nine times on the PGA Tour and captained the United States winning Presidents Cup team last year in South Korea. He birdied three of the final four holes, starting the run on the par-5 15th and adding two more on the par-3 17th and par-5 18th to reach 15-under 127.Fred Funk, at age 60, was second after a 65. He eagled the 15th and birdied 18.I fully expect any of these guys from behind to shoot 62 or 3, and Im going to have to keep playing hard as I can, Haas said. Hopefully, Ill have a chance coming down the last few holes.John Daly shot a 66 to top the group at 9 under. After birdieing the final five holes Friday in a 67, Daly opened birdie-birdie-eagle. He bogeyed the par-3 eighth and birdied the two late par 5s, playing through a left shoulder injury.Basically, one-handed the last six holes, Daly said. Hopefully, get some ice on it and get the swelling down.Daly is making his 14th senior start since turning 50 in April. The two-time major champion has three top-20 finishes on the tour, the best a tie for 11th in July in the Dicks Sporting Goods Open.Grant Waite (65), Ian Woosnam (66), Doug Garwood (66), Billy Andrade (6) and Bart Bryant (6) also were 9 under.Im going to have to shoot 64 to have a chance, Woosnam said.Defending champion Duffy Waldorf was tied for 14th at 7 under after a 68. Mayfair, making his sixth start on the tour after turning 50 in August, had a 76 to drop into a tie for 45th at 2 under. ' ' '
