So I listen to it on XM radio from the time it is 2-0 until 6-0. Have to go do some work after the top of the 6th. It was boring as heck anyway. Turn to mlb.tv awhile later and it is 7-6 in the top of the 8th. I missed everything! The first thing I saw when back was our lefty slow curve specialist give up two straight hits. I thought for sure I was a jinx.
Great win! Very very needed.
I did the same thing, gave up listening after 6-0, went to gameday just to check later on, and it was 7-6. Of course I turned the radio back on to see if Chappy would close it out.
Would have been nice to watch this one.
Wow. Not only a great win in coming back from down 6 late, but a big win in hopefully establishing that this team will FIGHT to scap,scrape, and claw out wins in the absence of Votto. I can't wait to watch it on MLB TV when I get home from work! :o)
I also gave up on them. They proved me wrong and I love how BP called out the fans for boo'ing. I'm not going to give up on these guys again. They are looking like the 2010 with the feeling that they can always comeback.

Hats off to Brandon Phillips!
No doubt. Stubbs and Valdez getting on base helps, along with Rolen not batting 6th ahead of Frazier helps.Originally Posted by CrosleyField
Great win indeed! When they were down 6-0 I was thinking "Good going guys! Y'all are about to give the Pirates 1st place by themselves and they don't even have to play today!"
Not only did the Reds pull of a great comeback, they are in 1st all by themselves. And St.Louis is a nice 5 games back now.
And they got it done today however they could. I didn't obviously watch the game or even listen to it on radio, but it looks as if they stole one today and simply did what they had to do to get the W.
Reds Motto until MVP returns: "Whatever It Takes!"
