Pirates 8th:
Ramon Ramirez in to pitch for the Reds, Rosales at third, Hannigan catching.
Diaz lines a single to left, just beyond Janish's diving reach.
Cruz flies to Stubbs in center-left.
Vasquez substitution: Ramon for Virgil, singles over Votto's glove into right. First and second, one out.
McCutchen bounces to Phillips, who tags Vasquez, and then gets McCutchen at first for a 4-3 double play. Nice.
Reds 6, Pirates 0 after seven and a half.

Meanwhile, the Bungles extra point is blocked with 1:55 left in the game to leave them tied with the previously winless Browns.
Hey, do they have a decent farm system at least??

Another inning, another Bucs pitcher. Eric Hacker facing PH'er Kevin Barker.

Well, hang up the bats fellas. It's been a fun season. But just for fun, let's flash the leather for 3 more outs.
Reds turn to their closer. Carlos Fisher. :O) Sutton stays in at short. Barker at 1st.
Stubbs, Votto, and Phillips put a stong offensive finish on their seasons...Bruce kinda looked like he was ready to go home.

Flashing the leather #1. Check.
Nice play by Rosales
Rosales with a nice diving catch and a rail gun throw to get the out.
I wonder if Rosales should try to become a pitcher?
Shallow pop out to left, Sutton ranges out to snag it.
Last out of the season. EVERYBODY UP!!!
