I know where they are. You may need to know that the season doesnt end tomorrow, there are still about 35 games left, plenty of time for the Astros to catch fire and walk into this thing.

That the Reds are this close to making the playoffs proves how far inferior a league the NL is.

They wouldn't have been swept at home against The Yankees, that was one of the most sackless things I have seen in sports in a long time...

The Reds are on the rebound, they have a new owner that will spend money and what many are calling the GM of the Year, they are going to be really good...

No matter how good Boston is, how many World Series have they won in the last 20 years?

One, the same amount as the Reds have, so it's not like Boston is winning WS after WS...

35 games to go.They have won 60 games.Took 89 last year to get the Wild Card.Are you thinking that they go 29-6???Maybe you think 87 will be enough??? 27-8???

It's not out of the realm of possibility that the NL Wild Card team could have a losing record...But make no mistake, Houston got the fork by going 1 of 3 against the Reds, they needed to win at least 2, to have a chance...

Not one of. I couldnt agree more. They sucked.
Almost as bad as the Yankees blowing their 3-0 lead in the 2004 playoffs...
Well, not all that bad! Doh! Man was that a chokejob.

The Reds are a likeable little team. I hope they do well. Dont count Houston out. They have been sleepwalking through the entire year but are capable of going 30-5 from here on in.
