Fun fact of the day. The reds won world series titles in 1919, 1940, 1975, 1976 and 1990.
In all 5 of those seasons...they started out 3-0. One of those things that makes you go "hmmmmm".
It actually is more meaningful than some other games because its against a team we are directly competing against. A win for us is a guaranteed loss for them. A win against the Braves doesn't mean the same for us winning our division. To top it off, this was a win against a team that is supposed to be key competition against us. And then of course is the fact that todays win was a two game swing over them. If we lost, we only have 1 game up on them, but because we won, we are 3 games up on them.
