You posted that comment about one week too early, Dan. Yikes, accidentally came across a replay of last night's debacle while channel surfing the tv this afternoon. Man, I couldn't flip back to that Gunsmoke rerun on TVLand quick enough!

Very disappointing play the last two games in StLouis. People like to blame Dusty, but really, if a team can't get motivated to play well in a series like this.......there really is nothing that needs to be said by the manager, they know they have to TCOB, but they play like it doesn't matter. They're still my team, I've been a lifelong fan since I was 6 years old (that would be 1960...LOL).

Looking good tonight

Cincymike · 08-31-2013, 09:34 AM

Another lackluster performance in Colorado. As much of a fan as I am, I just don't think they're good enough to win the division. Hope I'm wrong and they really get hot at the right time.

Starscream · 09-02-2013, 08:19 AM

Let STL win the division. It will be easier to play the Bucs in a one game playoff. If we keep playing like we have of late, it won't matter anyway.

Latos was dealing today

Cincymike · 09-03-2013, 07:54 AM

You stay for the whole game, Dan? It would be too easy to groan about the outcome about last night; trying to look ahead with hope for tonight's "titanic struggle" to make it three wins out of four.

elderboy02 · 09-05-2013, 10:14 AM

We left once the 13th inning was over. My brother starts work very early in the mornings...

Brian D. · 09-06-2013, 07:32 AM

Guess ya shoulda gone to Thursday's game instead!

elderboy02 · 09-06-2013, 08:59 AM

Well, we just won the series against the Cardinals. I though everyone on here was saying that we couldn't beat winning teams

hotreds · 09-06-2013, 10:28 AM

Not "everyone."

Cincymike · 09-06-2013, 01:35 PM

I didn't say they couldn't beat winning teams, just said they weren't good enough to win the division.

Cincymike · 09-08-2013, 03:51 PM

Going tonight.....cheap seats in the upper deck but free

. Looking forward to seeing Clayton Kershaw in person It will be tough for the Reds to score runs, but if Homer is on, should be a good game. GO REDLEGS!!!

We just swept the Dodgers....

Winning at the right time is definitely giving them a shot at the division. Their momentum certainly didn't help them tonight against the Cubs, of all teams. The Cards have had a bad stretch, as have the Dodgers (who happen to be 11 games up). Hopefully they peak at the right time, and avoid the 1 game playoff. This team seems to be all or nothing, so a 1 gamer doesn't have me overly confident.

I hate the 1 game playoff as well. Selig is smoking crack as usual.... "Hey, lets play 162 games, and then decide the playoffs for a team with a coin flip"

Stretching the post season into November...someday they'll end up with two northern, non-domed stadiums to play the World Series in, and Mother Nature won't be co-operating.
