Unbelievable! Couldn't have scripted it better.
Go BLUE!!!
This has been fun, but I've got to hit the hay. Good night, all. Happy Reds Day!

UNBELIEVABLE! This is one of the best days of my life. I've waited a long time for this and I couldn't have asked for a better way to do it. This is such an amazing feeling!!!!!!!!
Bruce's homer landed in just about the same spot @ GABP as the Eric Davis HR in Game 1 of the 90 WS.

I said before the game started tonight that it would be tonight. Everything just seemed perfect.
Stubbs robbing Carlos Lee of the home run clinched it for me. The Reds winding Wandy Rodriguez down in the 6th set up a battle of bullpens, which I thought the Reds would have the advantage in.
Even better to watch Bruce do it. I hope Votto and Bruce are both fixtures with the Reds for years to come.

Awesome pic! Thanks for the new background.
That is seriously probably the coolest picture I've ever seen in my life.
Unbelievable.
Votto for MVP
Man I feel like an old friend I have not seen in 20 years just burst through the front door. The gleam that never quite left the eyes of any Reds fan over 30 just exploded over the Cincinnati skyline.
Welcome back Reds. I missed you.

It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
Everyone let this soak in and enjoy it, odds are we will never have a better Division clinching feeling. We weren't supposed to be in contention but we were, we were supposed to fade away but we didn't. Another pure example of resiliency, and oh my it feels amazing. I might rock my Bruce jersey until it starts to smell funny.
