Yes, we swept the Cards the last time we saw them, but a much different Cards team in terms of healthy players then compared to now.

Do you guys think this team has been lucky for the entire season? One game goes sideways and now people are thinking this team isn't even a playoff contender. Wow.

It is finally over. Holliday grounds out to short. 8-5 Cards mid 6th.

Votto has been out. And he's trying to keep guys fresh. Guys won't be getting days off in the playoffs.

Re: 8/24/12 - Reds vs Cards
Reds can still win this ballgame but they have to get good relief pitching.

Can't give up any more runs.

So sad. In addition, it is only the 6th inning.

OK, I need to separate myself as someone who is just upset and frustrated by this game, and those that are completely overreacting.

It's just unreal for such a quality board.

Re: 8/24/12 - Reds vs Cards
Could we call in a rainstorm for four hours RIGHT now? That would nullify those runs, and Reds win 5 to 2... At least under the old rules.

I'll second this. I'm not ready to declare anything over, although this game has just seriously bummed me out. We still have a chance tonight. And if not, there's tomorrow.

So, since Valdez and Cairo are on the team, THAT'S why you don't think the Reds are a playoff team? C'mon.

Does it really matter in the end who the bad games are against? Not until the playoffs.

Not at all. But it does show how sitting on your hands again.....during the trading deadline for even a decent bat off the bench....is going to hurt this team trying to come back.

The bullpen has been a gas can as well lately. Hard to come back when the bullpen throws it back up. Arredondo has never met a 1-2-3 inning, Broxton is "unlucky" to the point of being bad.

Re: 8/24/12 - Reds vs Cards
Can't believe after the season these guys have given us, with the way they've played without Votto, some of you are jumping ship over ONE GAME. Embarrassing.
