Re: NLDS Game 5 Reds vs Giants 10/11/12
Not to dwell, but.... I didn't see the game -- was watching on Gameday. It appeared that some of the pitches to Bruce were in the middle third of the plate. True?
Not looking for a goat, just wondering.

Todd's D will be on Par with what we got from Rolen this year. Which is Acceptible. But his bat will play much better.

Will the Nats, the team with the best record in MLB, be a joke if the Cards send them packing? Every post-season you see teams, even underdogs or the unexpected, rise up and perform well. It happens. I'm certainly not going to call my team a joke. Not when you lose your ace.

OBM would have rather been the 2012 Astros than the 2012 Reds.

I have had enough of this team for a while I'm calling it a season.

This isn't even the angry me saying this. I accepted defeat after the Posey grand slam. I've had plenty of time to calm down. I'm being completely honest when I say I would rather miss the playoffs than get eliminated the way the Reds did. The Reds made history in a bad, bad way,
