Nervous yet?

[Orioles4Life21]

Okay we're almost down to 21 hours until game time. This has nothing to do with my confidence in the team's ability to win, but my nervousness is setting in. I think it's mostly because I don't want this amazing season to come to an end. I have big time butterflies right now and I can't stop thinking about tomorrow's game. I'm very confident that we will win but I just can't help being nervous. Just thinking about this season ending makes me want to cry haha. How are you feeling with less than 24 hours until game time?

[LookitsPuck]

I'm feeling pumped and confident. I longed for playoff baseball. I don't want the season to end...World Series or not.

Just win, baby. We can upset the baseball world. Let's get in the hard way!!

[crissfan172]

Nope...just excited and anxious. I won't actually be nervous until the game starts.

I am not nervous. I just finished engraving BUCK into all my tightey whiteys for good luck though. I also ate 3 bags of cheese curls so that my fingers will be orange all day tomorrow. Go O's!

[Mondo Trasho]

Yeah. I'm considering buying a dozen "colossal" donuts from the grocery store. Every time I've bought donuts this year the O's win.

I can't watch these things with other people because I have to be focused on the game.

I will be having a live tinychat during the game, though, for emotional support. I'll post it at gametime.

Let's just put it this way. I'm a Duke basketball, Florida football, and Flyers fan. Take my level of nervousness before the following:

-2006 BCS Championship
-2009 BCS Champiosnip
-2010 National Championship
-2010 Stanley Cup Finals

Combine those, multiply by 10, and you have how nervous I am.

Let's just put it this way. I'm a bandwagon fan.

Sorry, I had to. That might technically be name calling, but seriously Duke basketball and Florida football? REALLY? Why aren't you a Duke football fan??

I root for them too, but I've been a Duke/UF fan since I was 5 or 6. And I'm a Browns fan...far from bandwagon, bro.

[The Wedge]

I was born nervous.

Alrighty. I just find it hilarious the number of Duke basketball fans whose favorite college football team is not Duke.

But suit yourself.

Eww Duke haha. I'm a Georgetown fan and I remember waxing both Butler AND Duke that year. Speaking of college bball, this game tomorrow seems just like an NCAA Tournament game doesn't it?

[hoosiers]

I just want a good game and for our boys to represent. If Darvish is off, if Saunders can keep it close, if our bats can carry us for a game, ....

Lots of "ifs" .... who knows. Maybe our bats can represent for a game, maybe Texas is a bit panicky about getting tossed after a terrible end to the season and pressure from making the WS the past two years.

I don't have a good feeling about the game based on the SP matchup, but I have hope.

"If saunders keeps it close"

Do any of u really believe Buck will keep saunders in long enuf for it to not be close?

If he comes out there and lets up 2 or 3 runs no way he keeps him in after

[fyodorovitch]

Not sure how I feel. Nervous and excited, but this one game play-in/play-off crap is very uncomfortable. Personally I think the deck is stacked against us, but I also feel that we will pull it out. I'm not going to let a loss ruin an amazing season, though.
