[RedsManRick]

Reds are on Fox today. In Chicago we get Twins/Tigers. Game will be blacked out on mlb.tv. Thanks Fox!

[Matt700wlw]

I am pulling for the Cards to beat the Cubs.

I want the Reds to win this thing on the field. It's much more fun that way :beerme:

[oneupper]

Reds are on Fox today. In Chicago we get Twins/Tigers. Game will be blacked out on mlb.tv. Thanks Fox!

in South Florida we are getting REDS!!!! Has to be the first time.

[Tony Cloninger]

I like this. Even having BP 2nd to bat in front of Votto would have been good too.

Stubbs.... I just cannot stand this player anymore. What great CF D does he have that outweighs playing him everyday or that much at all besides as a D replacement?

He is no Paul Blair.... he is more Mike Anderson (Phillies) or Ken Berry (White Sox, Angels).... guys who would play 100-140 games and barely get 400 AB's beacuse they were auto outs.

[RedsMan3203]

Come'on Latos.... Lets git-r-done!

[WildcatFan]

Latos!

[RedsMan3203]

Quick Inning for Latos....

[Reds Fanatic]

1-2-3 first with 2 Ks for Latos

[Captain Hook]

Quick Inning for Latos....

Quick and impressive!

[WildcatFan]

They just showed Speier and I laughed to myself again about BCubb's last Random Thoughts.

[Brutus]

Latos looked extremely sharp that first inning. Great pop on his fastball and terrific movement on it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cubs have 2 runners on in the bottom of teh 9th. Today probably the only time I will ever root for the Cardinals as I want the Reds to clinch this on the field.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips lines out to center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul walks

[RedsMan3203]

Fear the X to get to the V.

[nate]

On KTTV here. Let's send Fife back to Mayberry!

[SirFelixCat]

Free beisbol in Chicago

[nate]

Downside: Tim McCarver. :(

[Reds Fanatic]

Wild pitch moves Paul to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cubs leave 2 on in the 9th. So the Cards and Cubs head to the 10th.

[oneupper]

in South Florida we are getting REDS!!!! Has to be the first time.

Spoke too soon. Braves-Phillies :(

[Reds Fanatic]

Caught a break there. They called that a foul ball it looked like Votto swung through it.

[WildcatFan]

Votto's trying to earn a fourth strike.

[Reds Fanatic]

Now they are calling him out after of course Joe West gets involved

[nate]

So...how can they reverse that call? The home plate ump missed the foul tip call but the 2B ump didn't?

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier flies out to the track in center. 0-0 after 1.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez singles to center.

[Brutus]

So...how can they reverse that call? The home plate ump missed the foul tip call but the 2B ump didn't?

Yeah I thought that was the right call made by the entirely wrong person.

Bronson is one of the best baseball interviews I've ever seen.

I was thinking the same thing. His baseball acumen is significant, IMO.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips singles to left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul grounds into a 6-4 FC.

[Tony Cloninger]

Even the Astros luck into an offensive outburst every once in a while. How pathetic is this offense?

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto strikes out swinging.

[alloverjr]

Even the Astros luck into an offensive outburst every once in a while. How pathetic is this offense?

If they don't hit HR's then they don't score. Too bad it's not 90 degrees anymore.

[WildcatFan]

Even the Astros luck into an offensive outburst every once in a while. How pathetic is this offense?

Rivera hits in to a 6-3 DP.

[Reds Fanatic]

The Orioles incredible streak of winning extra inning games continues as they beat the Red Sox in 12 innings.

[Tom Servo]

Cruz singles to right.

[Wonderful Monds]

Let that last one get away with 2 strikes.

[Reds Fanatic]

A's have hit 3 homers in the 13th inning to taka a 9-5 lead on the Yankees. If that holds up the Yankees and Orioles will be tied for 1st with 11 games left.

Phillips with a long homer to left!!!! 3-0 Reds.

[RedsMan3203]

I guess I woke up just in time...

BP!!!!

[redsmetz]

Fox carrying on about how far that home run went, but do you think they could show a replay? What the heck?

So they showed the replay of the swing, but not where it landed. So can someone say where it went?

[Reds Fanatic]

425 feet on that homer.

[Wonderful Monds]

Fox carrying on about how far that home run went, but do you think they could show a replay? What the heck?

Off the scoreboard strip on the bottom of the bleacher deck

Hit the facing of the upper deck in left, on a line.

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds are undefeated this year when Phillips homers.

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul walks

[corkedbat]

If the playoff situation remains as it is now, with the Nats having Home Field and the Braves/Cards as the WC's would the Nats play the Braves if they win the play-in game? I didn't think the first seed played the WC if they were in the same division.

[Wonderful Monds]

Paul has a good eye.

Has Vasgersian or the other announcer acknowledged the woo yet?

[Reds Fanatic]

If the playoff situation remains as it is now, with the Nats having Home Field and the Braves/Cards as the WC's would the Nats play the Braves if they win the play-in game? I didn't thing the first seed played the WC if they were in the same division.

That is changed this year. That 1 seed will play the wild card game winner regardless.

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul has a good eye.

Has Vasgersian or the other announcer acknowledged the woo yet?

Not yet.

[757690]

Reds are undefeated this year when Phillips homers.

They are also undefeated when Cairo homers. ;)

[757690]

Not yet.

Let's hope it stays that way.

[Reds Fanatic]

Randy Choate in to pitch

[RedsMan3203]

I just woke up from a nap... lol -- I'm hearing the WHooooooooo's!

[Wonderful Monds]

"paying close attention to Xavier Paul over there, who is actually Drew Stubbs."

Lol.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto grounds out to 2nd. 3-0 Reds after 7.

[Jefferson24]

Chapman yet?

[cumberlandreds]

Latos still in there.

[757690]

"paying close attention to Xavier Paul over there, who is actually Drew Stubbs."

Lol.

Not as bad as the adopter announcers last night. First they kept saying Hanigan is a bad defensive catcher and can't throw out runners, but this was the best...

With runners on first and third, the play by play guy said that a single to the outfield could possibly score a run, lol.

[Reds Fanatic]

Heisey moves to left. Stubbs in center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Chapman yet?

Latos is rolling. I see no reason to make a change

[Reds Fanatic]

Abreu hitting for Ellis

[_Sir_Charles_]

I'm just popping in during a commercial break to say a big thank you to whoever posted that the game was on Fox today. I thought I was blacked out for sure and just out of curiosity I checked real quick...BOOM! :O)

I really showed my self control just a bit ago too. The baby's asleep here on the couch in the living room and when Phillips went yard I was jumping up and down and whispering very excitedly. :O)

GO REDS!!!

[nate]

Bobby Abreu has been underwhelming since returning to the NL.

[Reds Fanatic]

Abreu strikes out swinging. 7 Ks for Latos.

[Kc61]

A's and Yanks each got four runs in the 13th. RA Dickey won his 19th today.

[cumberlandreds]

Strikeout #7 for Latos.

[757690]

Bobby Abreu has been underwhelming since returning to the NL.

Still trying to recover from winning Home Run Derby Crown ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

A's and Yanks each got four runs in the 13th.

Wow. What a game 9-9 in the 14th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Herrera reaches on an infield hit

[Wonderful Monds]

Blah

[Reds Fanatic]

Ellis flies out to right.

[Kc61]

McCarver complimenting Reds current outfield lineup. Says three CFers out there with Heisey, Stubbs, and Bruce. I'd vote for 2 1/2.

[cumberlandreds]

3 outs away.

[RedsMan3203]

3 outs!!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Ethier flies out to left. 3-0 Reds mid 8th.

McCarver is the Huell Howser of announcing.

[redhawkfish]

He hasn't bothered me as much as usual today.

[alloverjr]

Wooooo

3 more outs

[dman]

Let Latos go for the CG clinch!!!!

[cumberlandreds]

Let Latos go for the CG clinch!!!!


He's at a 105 pitches. I would let him start the 9th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Let Latos go for the CG clinch!!!!

yes at 105 pitches I would leave him in. He has been dominant today.

[alloverjr]

yes at 105 pitches I would leave him in. He has been dominant today.

agreed

[Kc61]

I would leave him at 130. You don't take out pitchers throwing like Latos is today.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jamey Wright in to pitch.

Frazier doubles off the wall in left.

[cumberlandreds]

Frazier with a leadoff double. Maybe he's about to heat up again.

[RedsMan3203]

Lets play add-on!

[757690]

Let Latos go for the CG clinch!!!!

Fox has already instructed the Reds to use Chapman to finish the game.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier with a leadoff double. Maybe he's about to heat up again.

Looked good today. 2 hits and 2 fly outs to the warning track.

[Kc61]

Fox has already instructed the Reds to use Chapman to finish the game.

ESPN disagrees, wants Aroldis available for tomorrow night. Battle of the networks.

[cumberlandreds]

Broxton warming according to the Cowboy.

[Reds Fanatic]

By the way just a reminder to everyone if they clinch there will be a full postgame on FSN Cincinnati.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce walks

[cumberlandreds]

By the way just a reminder to everyone if they clinch there will be a full postgame on FSN Cincinnati.

I will be headed to the TV once they put this one away. :)

[Kc61]

Heisey trying to bunt. The emphasis is on the word trying.

[Reds Fanatic]

Good bunt and the throw goes into right field. 4-0 Reds!!!

[Kc61]

Bunt, error, run. Nice bunt by Heisey after all.

[alloverjr]

Heisey trying to bunt. The emphasis is on the word trying.

nice bunt :)

[cumberlandreds]

4-0 on an error by the pitcher. Good bunt by Heisey caused it all.

[redhawkfish]

Woohoo!

[nate]

Heisey trying to bunt. The emphasis is on the word trying.

Looked pretty successful to me!

:cool:

[Kc61]

nice bunt :)

Great bunt. Forced a hurried throw.

[nate]

Gotta love the "bunt double!"

[11larkin11]

I disagree with most. No save situation. Sellout crowd. 3 outs from clinching. PERFECT opportunity for Chapman.

[RedsMan3203]

Lets blow it up!

[Reds Fanatic]

Intentional walk to Navarro. Bases loaded with no outs.

[Kc61]

Broxton is up throwing, I get the feeling he's going to pitch the ninth.

[Reds Fanatic]

I disagree with most. No save situation. Sellout crowd. 3 outs from clinching. PERFECT opportunity for Chapman.

They are not using Chapman. He was just getting some work in. He is not even warming up.

[Kc61]

Fox says pinch hitter for Latos on deck.

[cumberlandreds]

Base hit and two more score! 6-0 Reds.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart singles to left. 6-0 Reds!!!!

[Kc61]

Cozart breaks it open with a hit and bobble by left fielder. Six.

[TheBurn]

Nice. :beerme:

[nate]

Whee!

[alloverjr]

Woooo

I'm chalking this one up. Bring on Ondrusek.

[cumberlandreds]

Fox says pinch hitter for Latos on deck.

Latos to hit. Henry Rodriquez was on deck but SPeier will give Latos a chance to finish it off.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pitching change.

[Kc61]

Yanks bases loaded one out bottom 14.

[cumberlandreds]

The 9th will be a coronation and a party. :beerme:

[_Sir_Charles_]

The 9th will be a coronation and a party. :beerme:

Sounds like a plan! :beerme:

[cumberlandreds]

Darn. HRod will pinch hit.

[Kc61]

Latos to hit. Henry Rodriquez was on deck but SPeier will give Latos a chance to finish it off.

HRod is up pinch hitting. Double play.

[Reds Fanatic]

Josh Wall pitching.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rodriguez grounds into a 6-4-3 DP.

[Reds Fanatic]

Latos was awesome today: 8IP, 6H, 0ER, 0BB, 7K.

If he pitches like that in October I like this teams chances.

[Kc61]

Yanks win on bobble by first baseman. Came from four back in the 13th, then won it in the 14th. Incredible.

[Kc61]

McCarver says Reds very dangerous in playoffs.

CHAPMAN IS UP!

[cumberlandreds]

How about the starting pitching the last three games:

Cueto no runs
Arroyo 1 run
Latos no runs

That will win a pennant for you.

[11larkin11]

Cuban Missile is back!

[George Anderson]

I want to punch Tim McCarver.

Damn he is annoying.

[Kc61]

I want to punch Tim McCarver.

Damn he is annoying.

He's been highly complimentary of the Reds today. Phillips walks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips walks

[George Anderson]

He's been highly complimentary of the Reds today. Phillips walks.

I agree

He is still annoying

[dman]

He's been highly complimentary of the Reds today. Phillips walks.

That's what I was thinking also.

[cumberlandreds]

Here we go to the 9th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart grounds into a 6-4 FC. 6-0 Reds after 8. 3 outs away!

[dman]

Okay.... Here we go... Nothing like clinching a pennant on National television.

[corkedbat]

Dang, I just realized that since this is a national game, there probably won't be the postgame celebration coverage like there was in 2010.

[cumberlandreds]

Okay.... Here we go... Nothing like clinching a pennant on National television.

Not quite national. It's not on here in northern Virginia. I am stuck with the Phils game.

[11larkin11]

Dang, I just realized that since this is a national game, there probably won't be the postgame celebration coverage like there was in 2010.

FS Ohio is going to cover it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dang, I just realized that since this is a national game, there probably won't be the postgame celebration coverage like there was in 2010.

yes it will be on. FSN Cincinnnati is doing a full postgame.

[cumberlandreds]

Chapman in.

[corkedbat]

:)
FS Ohio is going to cover it.

Great news! Didn't want to miss it!

[dman]

Not quite national. It's not on here in northern Virginia. I am stuck with the Phils game.

[757690]

Perfect way to clinch! Beautiful Double Play!

[UKFlounder]

They did it!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Well hopefully there will be a postgame. Not on yet.

[_Sir_Charles_]

And this DIVISION belongs to the REDS!!!! WOO HOO!!!! :beerme::thumbup::beerme::thumbup::beerme::thumbup ::beerme::thumbup::beerme::thumbup::beerme:

[Wonderful Monds]

Well hopefully there will be a postgame. Not on yet.

Yeah FSOH is lagging

[11larkin11]

Highest viewership in "Cruise In"'s history...

[Jefferson24]

no post game for me but the game was great!

[Degenerate39]

Hurry up post game

[redhawkfish]

Old cars are cool but geez!

[OesterPoster]

Come on FSOhio. Let's go.

[redsmetz]

Is there somewhere to watch the celebration without cable?

[Reds Fanatic]

This is getting annoying now.

[_Sir_Charles_]

LOL. If anybody was watching me in my living room they would've laughed their butts off. Jumping up and down, pumping my fists, grinning from ear to ear, and still...not making a peep.

Reds clinch, and the baby's still sound asleep. *sigh* A dad's job well done. :O)

[UKFlounder]

Yeah - this stinks. Who needs some car show now?


Well hopefully there will be a postgame. Not on yet.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Is there somewhere to watch the celebration without cable?

GABP? :O) Kidding. I wish. I'll just have to wait for the highlights once they get posted like in 2010.

[nate]

They're showing locker room footage on the MLB network.

[nate]

Err...they were.

[Reds Fanatic]

yes turn on MLB network since FSN is missing everything.

[Tony Cloninger]

Hey, not on Clinchmas!

Glad I kept the faith.! :laugh:

[Degenerate39]

What the hell FSN? COME ON!

[Wonderful Monds]

MLBN cut away and we still have Cruise In. Come on.

[Roy Tucker]

LOL. If anybody was watching me in my living room they would've laughed their butts off. Jumping up and down, pumping my fists, grinning from ear to ear, and still...not making a peep.

Happened to me in '90. When Benzinger caught the popup, I was holding my 5 day old daaughter. I made a very soft "yay".

She's 21 now. Time flies.

[Reds Fanatic]

This is ridiculous. What a failure by FSN.

[Degenerate39]

Inexcusable

[redsmetz]

Now Channel 9's showing some footage.

[UKFlounder]

But at least we know what that hood ornament is, lol

This is ridiculous. What a failure by FSN.

[corkedbat]

Err...they were.

I know it would mean an extra home game against the Nats (if they got there ande it went to 7 games), but I'm not worried about the bragging rights. I'd just as soon maintain the elad over SF for the second spot and get our guys rested and ready for the playoffs. I'd actuall rather face the Giants in the 1st round than the Braves or (especially) the Cards. Opening in the left coast would suck though.

[Danny Serafini]

Listening to the locker room postgame on the radio is fun. Brantley is in interviewing people. First person he talked to was Latos.

Brantley: How's it feel right now?
Latos: @#$%ing excellent!

:lol:

[Degenerate39]

Can you listen to WLW on the internet?
