Would the real damn Reds show up???????????
The Reds do not have the attitude I'd like to see facing these cardinals.
How long are they going to put up with this garbage?
Oh my goodness they've won like one series in 15 years in bad beer stadium. Make it stop!
Show some pride!
Something!

Hey! There's nothing wrong with Busch Beer!

The only time I've ever willingly drank Busch beer was in high school, back when your options were much more limited based on who did the purchasing for you.
Yes, I drank beer in high school. And about 90% of you will be lying out your backside if you say you didn't.

Back in my high school days it was Carling Black Label. Cheap and tasted a lot like Busch--horrible. I grew up.The only time I've ever willingly drank Busch beer was in high school, back when your options were much more limited based on who did the purchasing for you.

By the way, that was in 1966. Kids have always had beer.

Indeed they have. My dad was born in 1949 and can tell some eye-popping drinking stories.
As long as it's forbidden, kids will want it.

I don't typically drink beer. But when I do I drink anything other than Anheuser Busch and its swill.
I do enjoy 13 responses de-railing the OP sentiment. We all hate the cards, we all hate losing and we all will pick ourselves up and root 'em on the rest of the way. (We all being Reds Fans) We all don't need a thread about it!
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
Hahaha.
Fair enough. Busch Beer is to South St. Louisans what Old Style is to Cubs fans. It's something you kinda grow up with. I personally like it, but I've been drinking it a long time. It's certainly not a craft beer or microbrew. No argument there.
Keep your head up about the outcome. Baseball is cyclical. I remember a few years ago the Cardinals could beat everybody... except the Reds. It was infuriating. It looks like the tables may have turned this season.
Here's the good thing: Even with the loss and being 3.5 back or so, you're in the playoffs. The rest of the NL, outside of the central and all of the division leaders, is awful. Worst case scenario: You play in a wild card game. Win and you're in. The Cards made it work for them last year and were a win away from going to the WS. It's not the worst thing..
... But I'd definitely prefer to win the division.
Ok nevermind I like the cardinals now
are you sewing a 6 on your Votto Jersey sleeve?
This is the Reds of 2013. The 4th or 5th best club in the NL during the regular season. Good enough to have above average pitching and medicore offense that can beat up the NL little sisters but not quite enough offensive diversity and arms this year (with key injuries) to win a long series vs. the Dodgers, Cardinals and Braves. It is pretty evident after 132 games that we are who we are. Likely headed towards the first back to back playoffs in 37 seasons (let that sink in), but a mild disappointment from the hopes going into the season (or at the early 35-21 mark).
Hoping for lightning in a bottle at the end of the regular season and more than a 2.5 hour postseason cup of coffee. I am intrigued to see if they are up to the task. And if Latos and Bailey are up to the task the next couple of days.

Giants fans were saying the same thing this time last year.
While looking at a WS banner from two seasons before to soften the feelings. Anything is possible in the post season, but the Broxton/ Cueto/ Marshall injuries give me a lot less confidence. Oh and the 18 year drought of not winning a playoff series...
Edskin nailed it above perfectly.
Its named after the man, Gussie Busch, not the beer. Just sayin. Its not as bad a natty light though.
That's sorta like saying lethal injection isn't nearly as bad as the electric chair.
