I've heard that Raisor likes bacon, too.
He did appear to spin the plate around though. That black speck is on the top of the white plate in the first two pics, then on the bottom for the next two.

Here is a list of seasons during my lifetime where the Reds didn't even make a one-game play-in.
1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011.
I'll go ahead and track the magic number and enjoy the Reds being in the playoffs, if you don't mind.

Reds Magic Number for clinching the division is 20.
I have generally felt that the division title number should only get tracked if the Reds are in first. I did stray from that a couple of times but it seemed odd from a philosophical standpoint to track the number when they are not in front.
Cardinals currently have 60 losses. (Reds have 64.) Most wins the Cardinals can get to is 102. Reds currently have 83 wins. For the Reds to top the Cardinals, they have to have a combination of wins/ Cardinal losses totaling 20. With only 15 games left for the Reds, the Reds are obviously needing the Cards to lose at least 5.
Pirates have 61 losses, so the Reds Magic number to beat out the Pirates is 19 (Reds wins + Pirate losses).
