I realize I'm biased, but I do firmly give the Rally Onion superstitious credit for this season. At the time it was born, the Reds were a long shot among long shots. They had recently been swept by the Pirates and had gotten destroyed by the hapless Cubs hours before. Everything changed the minute it was found in a garbage can. We're all caught up in playoff fever now, but it's worth noting that at that time the playoffs were all but a dream.

Long live that ridiculous onion.
