Taylor Swift is everywhere these days, but she’s not in this quiz. With all the chaos, divisiveness and sadness in the world, I’m focusing on the League Championship Series.

Who won more games in the postseason, the Orioles, Dodgers, Rays, Brewers, Blue Jays, Marlins or Cubs? It was a tie. The only difference is that the Cubs didn’t even get a chance to lose any games. It was a ‘‘Cruel Summer’’ for the Cubbies.

I hope you can find some respite from the stresses nationally and internationally by watching some baseball and playing this week’s quiz. Have fun and learn a lot. If you get an answer wrong, ‘‘Don’t Blame Me,’’ just ‘‘Shake It Off.’’

With the league turning its attention to free agency Sunday night, it’s time to put a bow on the two-night NBA Draft and break down the winners and losers.
There are no awards for acting like you care, but it’s still a good look — especially for a team that came in 3-9-1 in road series and 2-11 in its last 13 series overall, blowing save opportunities left and right and elevating making outs at the plate with runners in scoring position practically to an art form.
