And the worst team in MLB beat the Cards in 10.... 7-5
How can that be?

You're right. I can't even read a list...

Hey, good luck GF. I'll keep her in my prayers. Right before my prayer to fix the BP.
More on the historic comeback...
'Dunn's grand slam capped Cincinnati's comeback from a 7-0 deficit in the eighth inning. The Reds were the first team to win a game after trailing by seven-or more runs in the eighth inning or later since the Marlins rallied from a 9-2 deficit in the eighth inning to beat the Red Sox in Boston, 10-9, on June 28, 2003. It was only the third such win in Reds franchise history. The others were in 1951 against the Braves in Boston and in 1995 against the Mets in Cincinnati.

And I was lucky enough to be there, sittin down the first base line. This was easily the most exciting game I've ever been to in person. From the low of that horrible first inning to the high of being a part of a stadium going nuts after Dunn's grand slam.
And a special shout out to the Indian fan sitting behind me who was talking trash the whole game and arrogantly making comments about how superior the Indians were and how he couldn't believe we took 2 of 3 last weekend. Needless to say he was halfway up the aisle making a hasty exit as soon as he heard the crack of Dunn's bat.
Wow, even this morning, I'm still jacked up, what a game...
Here you go everyone ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.700wlw.com/pages/reds.html
Unbelievable win. My dad called me at work and last night and informed me of what I had happened. It sent chills down my back, and then after watching it on TV I could barely hold my excitement in. Incredible comeback. The Reds had no business winning this game, which IMO, makes up for the loss to the Royals. I said I could never forgive them for that loss, well, I changed my mind.
At this time 15 hours ago I was down on this team, but this win has me higher than a kite. I'm now convinced this is a good team. Get a couple more bullpen arms and another starter and this team WILL make the playoffs. FCB sacrificed his first born, I'll one up him - I would sacrifice my right testicle if the Reds don't make the playoffs...that's how confident I am in this team if they can add those arms.
Uh, just remember. FCB got his kid back after we all got new decks and our houses painted and a summer's full of chores done.
It's not procrastination if you never had any intention of doing it in the first place.
I guess I'll take my ball and go home then.

Enjoy the ride, my man. Another game today.At this time 15 hours ago I was down on this team, but this win has me higher than a kite.
Prayers that she's ok
Go Gators!
word.
School's out. What did you expect?
Yeah, same here.
