The Battlin' Buccos get a home playoff game! Liriano has been lights out at home this year. If he is again and the Bucs can win they will AJ and Cole to pitch games 1 and 2 in the next round. Come on Bucs, win one Tuesday and give us all a whole playoff series to enjoy.

Of course, as soon as the Pirates beat the Reds Saturday to get the home field for the wild card game, the sour grapes started from Reds fans. Lots of "It doesn't matter where we play them, we'll win, I guarantee it" garbage, mostly from people who "guaranteed" a Reds series win. I just roll my eyes and keep going when the locals get this way.
It does matter, economically as well as on the field. It doesn't guarantee anything, but it's an advantage.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

For those of you who are superstitious, i heard on Pittsburgh sports talk radio today that Sid Bream will be attending the Wild Card Playoff game at PNC Park on Tuesday. Bream resides in the Pittsburgh area and is an avid Pirates fan. I'm sure the TV cameras will find him on Tuesday.
Supposedly, Atlanta asked Bream to throw out the first pitch if the Braves and Pirates meet in the playoffs and Bream respectfully declined. He knows that for more than twenty years, Pirates fans have been fuming over Bream scoring the winning run for the Braves to keep the Bucs out of the World Series. Bream, who by all accounts is a great guy, is just as anxious for the Pirates to succeed so their fans can finally put that 92 playoff game behind them. He says that Pirates fans remind him almost every day how painful that play was for them. The poor guy even received death threats from some of the idiot fans back in the nineties. So, he's been bearing more of a burden from that game than even the members of the 92 Pirates!“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I am a wreck. I don't know how I am going to make it through this game if it remains close the whole way. I am going to a bar so I can be around some of the atmosphere, but not going downtown. I believe in Liriano and hopefully the Bucs can get a run early against Cueto. Let's go Bucs!

Tonight's game--I'm so glad that Dusty held his year-long "ace", Latos, back to pitch the first game against the Cardinals. Using Cueto in this win-or-go-home game was a stroke of genius on his part. I can hardly wait to read and hear all the excuse-making tonight and tomorrow here in "Reds Country".
Finishing over .500 was important. Making the playoffs was huge. Eliminating the Reds makes my year. And the party isn't over yet!Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

However, let's not get over-confident. The Cardinals are tough, and they're playoff veterans.
But boy, would I love to see the Pirates keep going. That WTF $25 at 40-1 I put on them last December in Vegas would be a sweet bet to collect.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)
