Nice game so far against the Padres. It's been up and down. Reds are up 3-2, bottom of the 6th.

Gah, stayed up late to watch 'em lose 4-3.

Chapman set an all time high major league record. Throwing 105.1 last night.

One just hopes they will not be swept in the playoff's.

Lighten up, if the Reds get to the postseason they will do well.

The magic number is down to 1.

What do you mean lighten up? They have BY FAR played the easiest schedule in all of major league baseball. The Cubs have played the next easiest. They are 30 over .500 against loosing teams and 11 under against winning teams. I don't know if you know this but their are no loosing teams in the playoffs. They have done this all year and will do it in the playoff's.

Cincy1 · « **Reply #1093 on:** September 27, 2010, 12:13:47 PM »

Well, I am aware there are no losing teams in the playoffs and suspect there never have been. Look back at some of the games, especially against the Braves and Phillies, and there were definitely some games they gave away as well as many close games. I think they actually lost 7 runs leads in the 9th twice. Anyway, I just think this team will find a way to win and find it very unlikely they will be swept. As a matter of fact, I like their chances - we'll see.

Playing .500 ball was all I asked for this year. Everything on top of it is just gravy. That's not to say I won't be disappointed if they get bounced but once the sting passes I will still be very happy and proud of this season as a Reds fan.

unusualfire · « **Reply #1095 on:** September 27, 2010, 01:49:58 PM »

This team has a chance to be great. This will get them experience. It maybe growing some pains, but it could send them to multiple division winners for years to come.

Well said. After a 15 year playoff drought and a 10 year winning season drought, this season has been and will be a great success, win or lose in the playoffs. And speaking of the playoffs, a Reds win or Cardinals loss tonight clinches it.

Congrats Reds! 2010 NL Central Division Champs!

What a perfect way to clinch! Go Reds!!!!

unusualfire · « **Reply #1100 on:** September 28, 2010, 02:18:00 PM »

Yeah what a way to win the division. You can't script that.

Johio · « **Reply #1101 on:** September 28, 2010, 02:18:27 PM »

That was amazing!

I hope to see some videos and/or pics of the celebration.

YAY!!! Watched in OTR, saw fireworks in Mt. Auburn.

Keep winning. Don't wanna face Philly in five.

Congrats to Reds fans on winning the division. Nothing like watching your favorite team playing October baseball.

I agree entirely. The Phillies are on fire and I think they're going to win the NL regardless, but if you're the Reds, I think you'd rather face them in the NLCS than have to see their great rotation in a short series.

Someone posted Jay Bruce's walk-off home run that clinched the NL Central title from the FSOhio broadcast.

One warning: The volume is very low. So if you turn it up, watch out at 1:19 mark. The poster points out that the crowd is chanting "Bruce" and not booing at a MUCH LOUDER VOLUME!!!

Congrats to the Reds fans. Glad to see an Ohio team back in the playoffs. Good luck!

Whoever called in and complained about the REDS smoking in there own private clubhouse is a LOSER.

Apparently there were multiple complaints. Also, wasn't GABP funded by taxpayers? I'm sure this is a gray area, but are you sure it's really "private."

Not only that. They were drinking alcoholic beverages too.

The Health Department said nothing would probably come of the situation and that further action was unlikely. They understand what was going on. There are always some annoying nitpicky people out there, unfortunately.

Not to shoot the messenger, but I think that's a double-standard and a BS response--especially when the law was ridiculous to begin with.

Cincy1 · « **Reply #1114 on:** October 01, 2010, 04:11:21 PM »

Amen - I would like to find out who the d-bags were that would even complain. The celebration was pretty standard. Some people really need to get a life - interlopers are ridiculous. Of more concern to me is the fact that the Reds did not put away the Brewers when they had multiple opportunities. I officially declare that the Reds should always take Gomes down in a situation where you absolutely need to move a runner over, or at least put the ball in play. Unless somebody quickly enlightens him to the term "shorten your swing".

The Reds just wrapped up the regular season with a 91-71 record so I thought I would give myself a little credit. There are definitely some parallels with 1990 - regardless of what happens I am pretty excited to see some playoff baseball in Cincinnati.

Quote from: Cincy1 on July 04, 2010, 05:04:32 PM

With an eye on 91-71 - that will win the division this year, just like 90.

I thought about it because I had mentioned this to friends. I also have a good feeling about the playoffs but do not want to jinx anything at this point so we'll see. Great news for Dusty Baker today, and it was nice to see people turn out for the Reds rally prior to heading to Philly.

This is ugly. Phillies up 4-0, middle of the third.
