I'm not going to get into a lot of analysis of these matchups. We've all been thinking and reading about this game for days. We all know what's at stake and who is involved. Numbers don't matter anymore. Our sample size is so small at this point that there is very little we can predict about the next week. It's awesome!
Win or lose, be sure to take some time to enjoy the moment. Let yourself have a holy shit moment every once in a while. Unless you are a Yankees fan, the playoffs are rare. Don't let them pass by with the assumption that we'll be there next year. Soak it in. Enjoy it.
And then wherever you are, cheer your asses off! Just because we're happy to be here now doesn't mean we won't be even happier to be in the NLCS. So, come on, Reds! Make us proud and bring home a win today! Besides, I've got ticket to games 3 and 4 and would really like to use both of them!
Go Reds!

I just hate the douchey attitude he had when he told me
because though I am a huge Reds fan, I keep my trash talking to a dull roar and always try to respect the karma that comes with being too much of a gloater. I just hope the Phillies are looking past us just like their fans are, because that’s how we’ll win.

As someone who sees Philly fans 9 times a year...
…Im bothered by the ones who express surprise and wonder when they are lumped in with the bad fans. I was deeply satisfied that the ’Skins shut up the Eagles fans on Sunday.
The wait for 10/7 begins. This man is focused. Are you?
What a coincidence!
I was up all night tossing and turning about the Reds having to face the Giants again!

Kind of is making me wonder if Walt was able to pull the deal off for him, imagine how big this series would be.
Im sure they liked Smoak better than Alonso, but it would of been huge.
Still I think we can win this without him. Go Reds!
I have so much nervous energy

Dear Reds,
Thank you. Thank you so, so very freaking much. The fact that I finally get to watch playoff baseball where my favorite team isn’t just whoever-is-playing-the-Yankees is fantastic.
The fact that you did it with a mixture of homegrown players and “over-the-hill” veterans makes it that much sweeter. This squad lacks mercenaries, thugs, and lazy-asses. That’s awesome.
Our 1B doesn’t bat .196, our manager isn’t a cokehead, our payroll isn’t $200 million, our RF isn’t sleeping with our 2B’s wife, we don’t have a psycho as a closer, our 2 best players aren’t DL’d for the playoffs…and I guess I’m a Twins fan since I can’t really come up with a knock, other than Morneau being out (but they’re better record-wise without him).
Long story short, that regular season was fucking sweet. I only hope this postseason is too.
GO Reds! They’re our favorite team!

I've been sneaking off the floor at work all day to come up to the office to check Red Reporter and other sports sites
Just shirking work, and then coming down with a big goofy smile on my face. I can’t even help it. I’m giddy!
goodbye, red reporter
there are too many disparate emotions and notions and predictions in this space for me to handle right now. I want to experience this wholly on my own terms.
Go Reds, everyone have fun ITT

Simulation
This is nothing fancy but I just simulated this game in Out of The Park Baseball 11. It was a pitchers duel until the top of the 5th when Stubbs knocked in Bruce from third with a line drive single to left. Not another run was scored until Johnny Gomes hit a 2-run homer in the 8th to give the Reds a 3-0 lead. Werth hits a solo shot off Volquez in the bottom of the 9th for their only run. Reds 3 Phillies 1.

I don't think they leave EV in for 9 innings
pretty much in any scenario save an insanely low pitch count or a no-no. But hey, I’d looooooove this outcome, obviously
my bad!
I just checked it again and it was 128 pitches.
Dusty probably would have pulled him in the 8th
top of 9 for sure. Cordero would have to nail it down. Scary thought
he had 108 starting the ninth
I forgot to check again after the game was over
did dusty fall asleep or something?
we would be LIVID if that really happened, but then relieved.

My wife made an altar for Día de los Muertos, and I added the pictures of our 2 deceased 1990 World Champions,
Rick Mahler and Tim Layana
If we win, they stay. If not, I expect to see Bo Diaz on the altar Friday. :P
"Don't turn off the TV if we've still got bats in our hands." - Dusty Baker
The festival that became the modern Day of the Dead fell in the ninth month of the Aztec calendar, about the beginning of August, and was celebrated for an entire month.
The festivities were dedicated to the god known as the “Lady of the Dead”, corresponding to the modern Catrina.
I believe that the altar is up early to build toward the holiday and to honor the memory of the deceased for more than a day.
The celebration occurs on November 2 in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints’ Day (November 1) and All Souls’ Day (November 2).

Just checking in to say "Go Reds!"
but more importantly to give a big wet, sloppy kiss to RR. This site has made Red fandom a deeper and fuller experience for me as someone who’s always lived far away from Ohio.
I haven’t been able to get to as many game threads this season, but RR is still the first thing I check every morning for going on four and half years. I won’t be able to see most of the game tonight live because of a commitment made many months ago, but my thoughts will be with you here.
It’s not simply about sports. There are more wonderful enthusiasts for a distinct thing here than any other group I’ve been a part of (including my mid nineties Use Net ass pennies list serve).
And today, finally, we all get to see that thing we love embrace its success and challenge for greatness.

Volquez is a fly ball pitcher, typically, and Howard is a fly ball hitter.
That’s a big risk. He got an out from both Utley and Howard. The stolen base was the only reasaon the run scored (besides the hit, obviously)
