And just like NASCAR's Chase, that's all you'll hear about over the next three weeks or so while the teams that proved they were good for 162 games go unnoticed.

And yes, I'd be singing another tune if the Reds were in the Wild Card picture, but they aren't. And I could care less who gets the Wild Cards.

Re: 9/12/12 Pirates at Reds

It's sure nice to see Sam get to pitch the 8th in a tight game. He has sure earned the chance, and tonight he justified the trust.

Might he displace Arredondo and Ondrusek as the 7th inning guy, or the 8th inning guy if Chapman or Broxton are not available?

Votto is obviously not 100% and yet he reaches two times out of four. Wow.
