I think I’ve seen this movie before.
Certainly feeling like it… Bruce fouling off tons of pitches here…
Wooohooo!!!
Reds come up short.
Cards tie it up with the Nats.
Yeah! Just like 2010!
I snuck out of work to watch the last innings at the sports bar patio next door (with my boss). Now my hand hurts from high-fiving so many people. 
Fuck.
Fuckety fuck fuck fuck.
I tip my hat to the Reds fans here. Your team is absolutely relentless. You didn’t lose that game; you just ran out of innings.
Am I misremembering, or did the road team go 5-for-5 in that series - in addition to the road teams winning all four games of the Oakland-Detroit series and the first three games of St. Louis-Washington?
The Cardinals won Game 2 of their series at home. I think the rest is correct.
Definitely not correct on the Oakland-Detroit series. Home teams have won all four games in that one.
And that should’ve been obvious since I watched the game last night and saw the A’s win in the bottom of the ninth. So nevermind. Still, I am surprised that the road team won all the games in one series (Giants-Reds). I thought it’d take years before that happened.
It’s probably a first – no team has ever lost 2 at home and then won 3 on the road.
Looks like we have a pitcher’s duel going in DC. 1-1 through 5 with 2 hits apiece.
Thanks, and congrats to the Giants. I will be rooting for your beards, mohawks, marilyn manson haircuts and Prince Fielder body doubles the rest of the way.
The Reds really should have won that game 3 that Bailey pitched. Damn that one got away from us on a passed ball and an error.
This was probably Scott Rolen’s last season and I say good riddance. Dusty Baker had one of his weird man-crushes on him (like Corey Patterson) and kept putting him out there when Todd Frazier was clearly the better option.
Losing Cueto when we did really, really sucked. I am sure he feels terrible, like he let the team down. But today was another winnable game and you can’t win when you leave 234 runners on base. Very frustrating.
That specific order of events has happened at least once that I can think of,min the 1996 World Series. Of course, there was then a sixth game, but the first five went the same way, with the Yankees losing the first two at home and then winning three in a row in Atlanta.
Now it’s 1-1 in the top of the 8th. Lohse has some incredibly low pitch count after 7; first Jordan Zimmerman and now Clippard is looking incredibly sharp in relief of Detwiler, who did unusually well both by completing 6 and by giving up just 1 run.
Go Nats!
Another game-winning homer in the bottom of the 9th. Man, this is becoming so tiresome. 
Playoff baseball is so awesome.
I am not a fan of lead off walks.
Just saying.
