Dusty pitched much better last year did he not?

And while I'm at it, congrats to the Brewers as well.

I think the Reds can look at the 2 NL Central teams in the playoffs and learn some lessons. 2 different lessons, but they are very key ones.

Hold on.....other teams can pin their failures on Griffey and Dunn too? How many degrees of separation can there be still blame Griff/Dunn? I bet we could eventually figure out a way for the Braves and Red Sox to realize there problems were out of their control.

But something worked and then the Reds blew the lead and the game.

I think you are referring to the game the Reds lead by a bunch going into the last inning and Chapman was brought in to pitch and walked like 5 batters.

The Specifics:

Reds won 9-7. Larussa's moves consisted of PH for Jay (because Chapman was in) and PH for the pitcher. His best non-move was letting an obvious tiring Carpenter in to hit in the top of the 7th trailing 4-2, and then watching as Carpenter game up 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th to break the game wide open.

IIRC, LaRussa didn't manage that game. He was back home with a case of shingles and missed that series.

Screw the Cardinals. Go Phils. Go D-Backs. Then go D-Backs.

I cannot stand the St. Louis Cardinals. They had a great run and deserve their spot, but I'll be damned if I'm going to congratulate them or their fans on anything. I would love nothing more than to see the Phillies dismantle them as bad or worse than they did our beloved Reds team last season.

Screw those whiney, beyotches!

ABWLBs.

I will congratulate the Cardinals on the same day I congratulate the Michigan Wolverines and the 70s Dodgers. Makes me sick to my stomach even considering it.

I will third this. Except that I would never consider congratulating them. When I got to work this morning I sent an email to my buddy who is an avid Cards fan (bleh!) and said that it made me sick to my stomach knowing that the Cards backdoored their way into the playoffs this year.

I tip my cap to them. I am jealous. I wish we were the organization that they are. TLR managed like his hair was on fire the past few months.

Have fun playing the Phillies. I don't think they fare differently than the 2010 Reds

You mean that thing under TLR's cap is hair?
