Wild Card Wednesday is officially here.

Fans, team members and organizations from around the Valley are champing at the bit for the NL Wild Card Game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies to start.

With their excitement boiling over, they took to Twitter.

Judging by U.S. Sen. John McCain’s post, he is more than ready.

Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton found his way to social media, tweeting that he made a friendly bet with Denver Mayor Michael Hancock over Wednesday’s game.

Other teams around the Valley showed their support.

Even the Arizona Department of Transportation got involved.
