this is a tweet from the Pirates reliever Mark Melancon:

I feel like a little kid going 2 bed on Christmas Eve. #163 It's almost time 2 rough up the #reds for the 4th straight game. #Blackout #BUCN
Hope this is on the Reds bulletin board by tomorrow!!
I really really hope the Pirate fans show up tomorrow. I want the Reds to win, but I'll be disappointed if the fans fall flat.
I think the crowd situation could work against them. The pressure is on Pittsburgh. First playoff appearance in 20 years. Just swept the struggling Redlegs.

You don't win baseball games on emotion.

It looks like you may have posted a minute before the other post on this topic. Maybe they will merge the two.

I can't remember ever being more nervous for a game.

Me too. Game 5 last year I knew we would lose. Now I honestly don't know, 50/50 is my gut feeling.
2009 Attendance Record: 3-5 2010 Attendance Record: 2-9 2015 Attendance Record: 2-0
2011 Attendance Record: 3-4 2012 Attendance Record: 3-4
2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1
Since everything comes down to the r-word and the result of any playoff game is apparently a roll of the dice... Can bulletin board material fire up randomness?

The pressure is on both teams. It's win or go home. No one wants to go home one game after a 162-game season.I think the crowd situation could work against them. The pressure is on Pittsburgh. First playoff appearance in 20 years. Just swept the struggling Redlegs.
Heading there to be part of the vocal Reds minority. Can't imagine Reds fans will be any less visible and audible than we were last weekend. More impatient than nervous. Hopefully the players feel the same.

Third time in four years vs. first time in 20-plus can make a big difference.

How much money did you make on your Vegas bet?
Good point, it changes the odds from likely around 50/50 to, I'm guessing, somewhere around 50/50.
