Re: 9/20/12 - Reds @ Cubs
Castro flies to center, Reds win, Simon gets the save, and the magic number is lowered.

Re: 9/20/12 - Reds @ Cubs
During the lost decade, clinching a playoff berth at 5:30ET on September 20th seemed like a pipe dream.

Re: 9/20/12 - Reds @ Cubs
Usually they were eliminated from the playoff chase by that time.

Re: 9/20/12 - Reds @ Cubs
Talk about a morale booster. The subs contribute to score 5, Simon gets a save in a playoff clinching game.
Next stop division title! ![]() Screwy thing with the magic number is that the Reds could clinch after their game if they win and Cards lose because of central time zone difference. So the walkoff celebration like 2010 may not work out this year.

Re: 9/20/12 - Reds @ Cubs
32 games over .500. Sweep the Cubbies with minor leaguers. Good day.
