This team was 19-25 after September 10th. If you would have told me that night this was going to clinch a playoff spot 15 days later I would have thought you were crazy

Congrats on submitting the project!
I didn't mean to make this a comparison of my excitement levels in different playoff years. I'm enjoying the hell out of this and can't wait for next week (and hopefully more). My main point was how happy I am for the longtime Reds to get to experience this in a Cincinnati uniform.

Congrats!
I still remember walking out of the Engineering Center at Wright State that last time and thinking “Holy crap, I have a college degree now. It’s finally over. I did it. I’m an Electrical Engineer”. It was a surreal feeling after years and years (I transferred and was also late picking a major so I most definitely did not finish in 4 years) of hard work and all the times where it felt like it would never end.
What’s your degree in?
Joey Votto re-affirms his status as my favorite baseball player.
The guy is a process-addict who almost always gets his results where they need to be. And now, he adds another type of interview to his Pro Wrestling Arsenal! We've seen the goofy comedy guy (Mountie). We've seen the "cool" laid-back heel (the donkey interview with the apple). Now, he's just added the Completely Vicious Cold-Blooded Killer ("We're a ****ing nightmare, and everybody knows it.").
EDIT TO ADD: noticeably absent is the boring bland white meat babyface promo about saying your prayers, respecting the flag, and eating your vitamins that nobody over the age of 11 actually responds to. He should totally make sure to do one of those some day. And then immediately start swearing up a storm and kneecapping the umps who displease him because he's better at their job than they are, all while sporting an all new alternate Sunday jersey: that of the rWo.
EDIT TO THE EDIT: I wouldn't really buy/wear an rWo shirt, because it's a cheesy one-off idea had at the stroke of 1am. But something tells me if you do it up right, I *would* pay good money for a vWo t-shirt.

Also shoutout to bradley and goodwin! those guys came here and were happy to play for the reds even though we weren't seeing results at the time. Bradley said he immediately got on a plane to come here after he found out about the trade because he wanted to win and thought the reds gave him a good opportunity to do so. it would have been very easy for a guy like him to say he didnt want to pitch in gabp and didnt want to uproot his life and move across country but he immediately jumped at the chance to join our bullpen.

I also ran around after the clinch for 16 minutes and burnt 200 calories. Not bad for a guy in his seventh decade!
Talk bout excited!

Thanks!
My Major is Cybersecurity/Information Assurance. And I can certainly relate to not finishing a degree in four years, as life often gets in the way. Between my Associate and Bachelor's degrees, it's taken me about 5 and a half years. What's more, I Just turned 53 in late July.
To all of you out there scratching and clawing every day in an effort to better yourselves, keep plugging away and don't give up,

Man the ups and the downs are so crazy right now, I love this team. Yeah I hate on Bell sometimes and some other guys but who doesn't? This team is so entertaining. I think a lot of teams are hoping not to get the Reds in the first round. You could make an argument Cinci has 3 top 10 pitchers in the whole league.
Even with tonight's loss, the Twins, as of now, still own the best home record in MLB. Which makes tonight's huge Reds win all the more impressive.
