Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
If Oswalt gets to the 5th with a no hitter,someone please go to ORG and start a no hitter alert thread. That usually breaks up a no hitter faster than anything. No one did that the other night and it costs us.

My NL Central Champs stuff came today. That can only be a good sign.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
Nix v. Oswalt: 18 PA, .529/.556/1.176, 9 H (6 XBH), 2 SO, 1 BB. One of those homers gets caught at the wall and his SLG drops .300 points. Color me skeptical, but optimistic.
If he's really that good against him, why not bat him even higher? This strikes me more as Dusty liking to keep guys in their role. LF bats 5th in our lineup.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
For some reason I'm much more excited and much less nervous for this game than I was game one. Not sure why.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
The way I look at it the team just needs to come out loose and play like we know they can and they can win this. The national media has already written them off most of the front runner fans that never follow the team anyway have written them off after the other night. Nobody is really expecting anything but the Phillies to roll this series but if the Reds can pull this off tonight and I like the matchup suddenly we have a series and the stadium will be rocking when they get home on Sunday.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
MVP has to be MVP IMO tonight. My guess is that Joey V drives in over half of our runs tonight with at least one coming via the long ball. I hope it is 1-0 after 1 thanks to a solo shot by Votto on the first pitch he sees.
