September 20, 201214 yr I'm more indifferent on it than loving it. It's a tough situation b/c you should rest guys, but you should also be trying to get the 1 seed. That's why these guys get paid the big bucks though. I'm not so sure I would want the #1 seed. It definitely has it's advantages, but there are also some disadvantages.
September 20, 201214 yr I like resting all the regulars versus the Cubs. No one can complain about the Reds giving one contender an advantage over another by resting players.
September 20, 201214 yr I'm not so sure I would want the #1 seed. It definitely has it's advantages, but there are also some disadvantages. There is zero advantage to going out West to play a red hot SF team no matter who gets the wild card or how well they played getting there IMO.
September 20, 201214 yr The Reds must really want to wait an clinch at home. They can't clinch today anyway...
September 20, 201214 yr While Dusty was in the hospital they must have even further reduced the brain cells that allow him to make out a lineup. I'm so disapointed though that he didn't let "Wickets" Valdez pitch. :ohbrother:
September 20, 201214 yr I can see ole Dusty texting the lineup to his aide Speier. That toothpick wiggling and the little fingers lexing while he types. "Got to get them some at bats to keep them ready," he'll blabber. Play your best lineup and give a guy or two off each day. Give Rolen like the rest of his career off as a starter and get Frazier ready for the playoffs. Ship Valdez to Russia and have a retirement dinner for Cairo. Is Terry Francona out there still for the future? :laugh:

Brewers are even hotter, and other than the Reds and Nationals have the best home record in the NL. Don't want to see them play St. Louis on the road for the 1st two games of the playoffs either. The Giants offense scares me about as much as buffet prices do.

September 20, 201214 yr They can't clinch today anyway...I looked at the schedule wrong, I thought they had one more in Chicago tomorrow before returning home. No matter, I was being cute anyway.

September 20, 201214 yr It just got weird. You have no idea what we've done at past moderators conventions. There is a reason we have a spindoc.
