Big Road Machine stalls in Philly. PHL 5, CIN 3.
Bruce and Votto both go yard, but Tony Cingrani likely bids adieu to the Reds with a mediocre outing.
Game Recaps
Reds weekend, Cubs lost weekend
Nuthin' like the Cubs to right the ship. Sweep!
Reds Catch Cubs in Final Furlong. Reds 6, Cubs 4.
Remember long ago, in a galaxy far, far away (yesterday) when I said that Starlin Castro and his lackadaisical play was the perfect person to be the face of the Cubs franchise? Well, I was wrong. Carlos Marmol is the perfect face of the Cubs.
Goodroyo made one mistake. Reds lose, 2-1
The old vet hurled a perfectly Arroyoian game, but one bad pitch left out over the plate to Matt Holliday was the decider.
Gonzalez Passes the One-Hitter to Zimm: Nats 1-0
Choo's streak of consecutive games reaching base ended, Bailey pitched well, the Reds offense has turned into paper planes (MIA).
Choo spends sunny afternoon on base; Reds win 3-2
Shin-Soo Choo reached base six times in seven plate appearances to lead Cincinnati to an extra-inning victory.
Automatic walk? No! Vottomatic walk-off!
The Reds gave up an early 4-0 lead but Best Hitter on the Planet Joey Votto hit the game-winner.
One of Those Days On the End of Days
Silent bats and a pitch that will haunt Mat Latos send the Reds home for the Winter.
Maximum hometown playoff baseball. Reds lose 8-3.
The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game Sam LeCure. Le Man continues to be nails. After a Sept/Oct where he allowed a .063/.167/.094 (!!!) line to opposing batters, he's now entered in...
Late Errors Overshadow Great Pitching
Passed balls, misplayed grounders doom the Reds despite an early lead and dominant pitching.
Everything is awesome right now. Reds win, 9-0.
Scrabbles should have won the prediction contest last night, but he didn't get my numbers in on time.
About Last Night
Raise your hand if you thought Cueto, Latos and Bailey would all play in this game, and the Reds would still win.
Fast Forward to the Playoffs.
This one was probably worth skipping...unless you enjoy talking about how awesome the other 161 games were. And, of course, how awesome the next 11 wins will be.
Scott Rolen Owns Chris Carpenter.
Since no media member is rational, none will allow us to forget the Reds/Cards brawl of 2010. Well, if we can't forget it, at least we can watch Scott Rolen hit a thunderpump off a broke Carpenter breaking ball. Right.
Screw the Loss. Welcome Back, Dusty!
Dusty Baker returned to the Reds' dugout after missing 11 games. That's worth far, far more than any win or loss at this point.

The Reds, quiet all day, struck for 2 runs with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning off of Brewers closer John Axford...a former Reds draft pick.
Some Days Just Aren't Our Days
When the Starting Pitching doesn't work and the Relievers don't either, it's gonna be a long day.
19 Down, 1 to go for Cueto
Cueto's 19th win of the season puts the Reds in a standings tie with the Nationals for the best record in the National League. Here's to hoping Dusty Baker returns soon to be the tiebreaker.
There's Joy in Redville as the Pitch(er) Stole Clinchmas! Reds, Latos Beat Dodgers, 6-0.
