I'd have to go with 2012. High expectations, monumental choke artists.
2010 was a surprise, 2012 was supposed to be our year.
We lost to a team that talent wise we are better than, and we did it in the most pathetic fashion I can think of.
Game 3 will haunt me for the rest of my Red-Loving life.
And then to come back today only for one of our crappy players to K at the end of the game is fitting.

2012. HANDS FREAKIN DOWN. This will go in sports history.Originally Posted by Red Buckeye
2012, no doubt. I don't think I'll get over this for a long time. To be honest, I'm losing faith in sports in general. I'm such a die-hard but I'm tired of feeling this way every year with at least one of my teams.
seeing as this is one of the most epic collapses in baseball history..2012
Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing
The Reds are the first team to lose 3 consecutive home games after having a 2-0 lead in the NLDS. FIRST!
2012
in 2010 knew it was over after the no hitter
2010..getting no hit and swept sucked. At least we got to see some wins...
2012. 2010 postseason was over from the gecko. in 2012, all we needed was just 1 win...
There are 3 guarantees in life; death, taxes, and the leadoff walk coming around to score.
2010. That was ugly.
Give the Giants a little credit. We did'nt hand them anything other than a run in the tenth inning of game three. They out hit the Reds, out pitched the Reds and out managed the Reds the final two games. They deserve to move on.
2012 --- but I feel snakebit -- Votto injury - Cueto injury -- have to wonder how the flu got to Latos - still think Dusty mismanaged the 10th inning in not walking Arias
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
2010. At least we got a hit and won a couple games in this series.
2012. This one was within reach.
Never knew those annoying GEICO commercials has such a negative impact.
Honestly though, 2012 hurts a lot more. We had every opportunity, down to the last at-bat. I suppose the fact we never capitalized on them means we deserved to lose, but it doesn't make it suck any less.
2012, I would rather get no-hit 3 games in a row than blow a 2-0 series lead with 3 games at home.
Also, game three was ours, and we couldn't get a second run to put it away. Homer's pitching performance was stellar, and we squandered the opportunity to put it away.
Some of it is on Dusty, but the offense had several chances to crawl back into it today, and they didn't. End 'o story.
2012. The Reds had better pitching, more experience, higher expectations. ...especially after winning the first 2 games. The announcers kept repeating "big time players step up in big time situations" (Posey). Our guys didn't.
