Reds just burned 5 days of DL eligibility if they entertained any ideas of putting Cairo on the DL tomorrow!

Janish and Valaika have been awesome. Have to be impressed with the poise of almost all of these young guys. They come up and they produce like they have been doing it forever.
Heisey
Leake
Wood
Ondrusek
Valaika
Francisco
Smith
Others...
I don't think Valaika is a MLB quality defensive shortstop.

As a utility guy though, he is. Maybe they bring in someone else who can also play SS, but I think you could go with Janish + Valaika + another veteran and replace what you have this year for about 3-4 million less.

Typical 2010 Reds.....the expected hero (Votto, Rolen) is never who actually pulls through in the clutch......its always someone unexpected. Who is it tonight? Hanigan? Stubbs? Janish? Heisey?

Cordero gets through the Brewers without giving me a heart attack. He's been pitching well lately. Hopefully he can keep that up through the post season.

Ump must want to get the game over. Walked Hanigan on 5 pitches, and I think they were really all 5 strikes!

Awful attempt by Stubbs. Horrible at-bat by Janish. Ouch.

Holy shit. Bruce's first walk-off hit since his game-winning dinger against the Braves on May 31, 2008.....the 5th game of his career.

These are the games that you've got to win. The ones where you play like shit and still have a chance to win it.

Pretty funny mix up on the St. Louis Cardinals official twitter page, it has since been taken removed. I think it's safe to say they are worried in the STL

6 game lead...who woulda thunk it after the Cards series sweep? Gotta admit not me. A Sept. swoon would be just too cruel now.
