Which game so far was the most winnable?
The 8-7 game with Weahters pitching to PUjols
The Majewski debacle losing to tthe Braves
The Ryan Howard homer of Hammond?
Blowing a 5-1 lead to Astros?

My first thought was the Weathers/Pujols bottom of the ninth game.

Someone once said that a wasted pitch in the first game of the season could be the difference between winning a division and finishing second. I think that's what I love about baseball- every ball in play is important.
Sure, this doesn't contribute one iota to the thread, but the topic brought this to mind...

I can think of a number of wasted pitches in that first game and it was cold as the dickens too! Brrrr!!!!Originally Posted by SunDeck
The Brewer series before the ALL STAR break was a KILLER.

Which game that they 'shouldn't have won' did they go on to win?

Agreed. Especially the game where the bullpen blew two extra inning leads.Originally Posted by goreds2
Dunn's grand slam walk-off winner against Cleveland. I just replayed Marty's HR call earlier this morning.Originally Posted by ochre

The game against the Cubs that the Reds lost on a Friday night to end the 8 game winning streak.
The Reds has the bases loaded with nobody out in the 9th, down a run and they couldn't get the guy in from 3rd. A win there would of been 9 in a row and might have stopped the slide that began that night with that loss.
excellent I forgot that one. How about the Braves game where they scored five in the ninth but standridge could not retire one batter in extra innings
Ask the Braves how that feels...Originally Posted by MaineRed
The games we blew when Majewski was put out there, evidently pitching hurt. That hurt us. Also, the games against the Brew Crew right before the break!
I still have nightmares over those games.Originally Posted by goreds2
