All one need do is look at the 1999 season. One win anywhere else in the season and we would have made the playoffs. One win and that weekend in Milwaukee would not have mattered. Every win is important.

Fun fact of the day. The reds won world series titles in 1919, 1940, 1975, 1976 and 1990.
In all 5 of those seasons...they started out 3-0. One of those things that makes you go "hmmmmm".
It actually is more meaningful than some other games because its against a team we are directly competing against. A win for us is a guaranteed loss for them. A win against the Braves doesn't mean the same for us winning our division. To top it off, this was a win against a team that is supposed to be key competition against us. And then of course is the fact that todays win was a two game swing over them. If we lost, we only have 1 game up on them, but because we won, we are 3 games up on them.
