To be dominant, and come home and get sweeped. How, why?
Follow every single game, every single out. Cheer every day through the thick and thin, only to go through this.

Hang in there. The game isn't over. Anything can (and sometimes does) happen.
Don't worry the Baker Haters are gonna get their way after today. No need to worry about the playoffs for a while.
swept
I hope Baker is gone.Quote:

So disgusted. I'm a passionate fan, and for this to happen just seems like a spit in the face.
Darn, I keep on being right.Quote:

This is just unbelievable im going into hybernation. How can you show your face anywhere as a reds fan right now. And dont give me that 2010 crap "well we had a great regular season."
Reds will hire a new manager, new coaches, team will go 81-81, no playoffs but no BAKER, so the Reds Zone will be in the party mode, congrats on running off the only manager to get you in the playoffs in forever

All the losses are his fault and the wins are not his doing?Quote:

Maybe they're just not ready for the big stage yet.
If BP spent less time practicing making it rain or playing on the internet maybe he would have had time for some base running drills, If he holds at 2nd in game 3 we sweep them now the Cards are going to void out the Division title and go the NLCS when we go home after lose 3 in a row at home.
The same BP who's had 9 hits and drove in 7 runs in the postseason this year.........?Quote:

And if we lose the only things people will remember from this season 20 years down the road is that we blew a 2-0 series lead and BP's bad base running cost us game 3.Quote:

Reds are legit. Ton of talent. As a Cardinal fan, I can see that.Quote:

Rolen & Ludwick...and healthy Cueto and Votto...and BP...and Chapman...and Frazier full time...and Hanny...and a new CF solution...and...and...probably minus Rolen for next year.Quote:

Everyone who feels like Maker should rent or re-watch Ken Burns' "Baseball" documentary series. Great stuff. Helps to put disappointing years like this in perspective. Also, when teams exit early, as disappointing to us, think of what it means to all the mid and junior level people who work at the stadium and local businesses who lose the income an LCS and WS would have produced. Really tough there.Quote:
