Hello Fanatics,
It was one interesting night at PNC Park on Tuesday evening as the Bucco's played their one game wild card against the Cincinnati Reds. Being a Pittsburgh sports fan my entire life, I can honestly say no other Pittsburgh sporting event atmosphere even came close to the one on Tuesday. I guess after a 21 year drought from a playoff appearance, the fans finally got to open its bottle of october baseball anticipation. During the game, the fan base stole a hockey move and chanted the pitcher (John Cueto) last name which eventually led to him dropping the ball and then letting up a one run home run the next pitch. Even though I was not in attendance at the park, it was so loud I felt as if I were there from watching it on my TV. It is a weird feeling watching the Pirates play competitive baseball in October and taking the drivers seat away from the Steelers who are 0-4.
Tonight the Pirates start their series with the St. Louis Cardinals. In my opinion, I feel that if we take one from the Cards in St. Louis that we have an excellent chance of winning this series. We are a team that plays their best baseball in their hometown with 39,000 fanatics rooting and standing right behind them. I hope to continue talking Pirate baseball and see them go all the way, but we shell see.

Dr. Higgs would be so proud; fanatics instead of fans. As a Boston fan, I don't have to worry about Pittsburg until the WS, so good luck to you guys and hope to see the bucs go far. Also check out my blog, as there is a 'survey' I need answered!!! thanks-Jon
