    A three-game sweep left the Pirates with 94 wins and home-field advantage for the wild-card playoff. Now, it's back home to PNC Park to get the postseason started.

    Quite a weekend, no?

    "The big thing about that is: It means absolutely nothing," outfielder Marlon Byrd said. "Everything you've done for 162 games now means absolutely nothing."

    Tell that to the revved-up Pirates fans ready to pack PNC Park on Tuesday night for their first playoff game in 21 years.

    The Pirates headed into the playoffs with a lot of momentum on Sunday, beating the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 in a game that was mostly an afterthought for teams looking ahead to their rematch in two days.
