Climbing up on the Anxiety Meter

[rluzinski]

The emotional momentum felt by the fans has been largely erased, I'll give you that.

I've waited 29 years for this day, so I'm not about to ruin it with anxiety. This is supposed to be the fun part ya know.

Well...I did have a dream months ago about a Brewers/Tigers World Series...so there's that.

I don't get the argument that Arizona has nothing to lose, I've seen that one a lot. They have just as much at stake as the Brewers. This isn't a situation similar to '08 where the Cubs really had nothing to lose. I doubt if either team is 'loose' despite what they are saying. I think that the first few innings are going to be very telling. If one of the teams gets out to a lead, it will be much easier for them to relax, vice-versa if one team falls behind it will be very easy to press and get frustrated. Bottom line, if these guys want to bury the ghost of the '82 team, they need to step it up. That team was loved because they won when their backs were to the wall. This game reminds me so much of the game 162 at Memorial Stadium, but those guys had even worse mojo going. On the road, lost three in two days to the Orioles and going up against Jim Palmer in Earl Weaver's possible final game. Talk about momentum.... Prince or Braun need to set the tone early like Robin did that day.

Just read that home teams are 1-7 over the last eight Game 5s. Just went from a 6 to 7 on the A-meter.

But that just means that the home team is due, right? RIGHT?

You know what's going to be cool? Seeing the Brewers celebrate a big win with a dogpile on the field, rather than the reserved celebrations while waiting for another game's outcome that we've had previously. Edited October 7, 2011 by dlk9s

That's why I'm at a 7 and not a 9.

Anxiety is high no question. It would have been nice to win a game on the road, but the D-Backs are good. With that said, Yo's going to come through today.

[BrewerTerp]

i'm sitting at work and 90 minutes away from gametime. HOW CAN ANYONE NOT BE FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW.

 

i swear i was normal this morning...

[fondybrewfan]

Yeah I am freaking out. My heart feels like I just got off the treadmill after running 3 miles.

 

I have gotten abslutely nothing accomplished at work today. Nothing.

[lukevan]

I feel like I'm about to puke. I'd be less nervous if I was actually playing in the game, I think.

 

10 Brewer runs in the first inning might make me feel better http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[TooLiveBrew]

Calm before the storm. I'd say I'm at a 3/10 right now, but will definitely go to 11 by game time.

I'd be a lot more nervous if you were playing in the game, unless you play SS that is.

[chuckiehacks]

Slow build here. Excitement this morning, but calm. Now ready to light this candle.

 

Eye of the tiger boys, eye of the tiger.

[splitterpfj]

I wish I was there today!

[DatHoser]

Just turned on the pre-game. Went from 4 to 7 immediately and now incrementing by .1 every minute.

[RockCoCougars]

Anxiety? This game took 5 years off my life- but it was worth it, I probably would have went into a five month depression had they lost.
