Re: NLDS Game 5 Reds vs Giants 10/11/12
I cannot believe they blew a 2-0 lead like that, still. Now we likely get to watch the Cards again in their place, I won't be watching any of it after that, enough baseball for me this year.

Epic choke by the Reds.
And sorry, but no, it wasn't a good season. When you return home with a 2-0 series lead and only have to win one of three at home, and you can't even do that, it's not a good season. The Reds choked.

Great season for the Reds. I enjoyed it and they made the last game dramatic at least. Breaks didn't go our way again in the post season. Losing Cueto was huge ad Votto playing at 70% didn't help either. Regardless though, incredible season.

Re: NLDS Game 5 Reds vs Giants 10/11/12
Where would this team have been without Ludwick. Going to be very hard to replace that. This was the year to make a push, and they just couldn't do it. Sad, sad, sad.

Re: NLDS Game 5 Reds vs Giants 10/11/12
What will be done is very simply this: Reds brass will meet and determine what they need to do to maximize season ticket sales. I'm sure a new manager will be on the table to send a signal the Reds are serious about winning a WS, and after two abysmal post-season showings in 3 years, a new approach will be taken. The Reds have become the kings of the NL central, and the joke of the playoffs...
