Reds will wind up as the #2 seed in the NL and start their post-season run in San Francisco Saturday. Everybody seems healthy and I would rate us as a slight favorite.
Too many bad memories I suppose.
Other than that I'm looking forward to their first playoff win in about 2 decades.

A split would be good enough this weekend though I want a sweep and think we have a decent chance of getting it. We've knocked Cain around pretty good this year, beating him twice and getting 8 runs and 4 HRs off him in 13 IP. Bumgarner did toss a CG one hitter at us though.
Originally posted by no1marauderWould be kind of cool to see Cain matched against Bailey in a game, but it won't happen.

Originally posted by shortcircuitI predicted my Reds would get swept against the Phillies in 2010, and was right. It is because I know them that well. Trust me, they won't get swept this go round.

swept?
While I have a hunch the Giants may beat the Reds, I said nothing of a sweep.
Getting punchy already whodey???
YESSS!!!!!
Ace Johnny Cueto leaves with back spasms after one batter, but the bullpen, defense and the bats do the job. Reds 5 Giants 2.
BP with 3 RBIs and an HR, Bruce goes deep as we knock Matt Cain around again. Chapman struggled a bit in the 9th with a 4 run lead allowing 2 BBs, a hit and a run on a WP but blew away batting champ Buster Posey for the last out with runners on 2B and 3B.
9:30 PM tomorrow with Bronson Arroyo against Madison Bumgarner.

whodey: Not only could Bronson never play for the Yankees, he could not even quality to be their water boy.
But apparently he can throw 7 shutout, 1 hit innings in a League Divisional Series. Reds crush the Giants, 9-0 and return to GABP needing only 1 win to advance to the NLCS. Homer Bailey will go against Ryan Vogelsong tomorrow at 5:37.
Originally posted by no1marauderBronson has learned a few new pitches and has evolved over the years. Kuddos to him. What can I say, his arm is not what it used to be but he has made adjustments and has good control. If you have good control and spot the ball and have good action on the ball, you can underhand the ball if you like.
