with the mets coming up,i was thinkin about playing games that mean something.i am wondering over the last several years...what is the latest in the season the reds have actually been in it ?
i remember the year we traded for dempster at all-star break we was in it then but got swept by houston coming out of break that started the spiral down.
then we was technically in it the year the all-star game was at milwaukee cause i remember hearing the dan patrick show and him and dibble was interviewing graves.he asked graves if he would welcome a trade to a contender and graves said"yeah he would like to play in playoffs"(paraphrasing).i thought yeah gravy we are within a few games of first and you cant even say "what are we "(reds) ....chopped liver"
when was the last time the reds were close first of august ?it just seems strange talking reds being buyers,wildcard,division etc
btw anyone hear steve phillips pick the reds to win the wildcard on mike and mike the other day.this was about 2 weeks ago.
oh well,im ramblin.....back to main question.i know everyone is in it till mathematically eliminated but i mean the reds this close to division or wildcard
on july 17....
