I was talking to my dad about the celebration and we thought it had to be awkward for some of those guys who have only been in town for a few weeks. How much celebrating is "too much" for a guy who has been with the team for about a month?

I couldn't care less how Dickerson feels. I never liked him. In fact my pointed words directed at him probably just caused him to land on the 60 day DL

I had no beef with Krivsky when he got fired. I thought he did a great job while he was here and I feel like he needs to get nearly as much credit as Jocketty will.

Not sure where that stems from? As a person, he's a really cool fucking dude. You mean you don't like him as a player?

Krivsky's downfall was that he was trying to build the team like they did in Minnesota, unfortunately for him, the Reds farm system was just too bare for him to be able to pull it off in a reasonable amount of time. He was definitely headed in the right direction, and he should feel like he was a part of this title.

If the Giants, Padres, and Braves all end up at 91-71, how many extra games would it take to settle the play-off match-ups? Am I correct that the play-off for the NL West would be counted as a regular season game, thus making no other games necessary with Atlanta being the wild card, and the loser of the west being out in the cold? If that is the case, then if Atlanta wins just one game with Philly they win the wild card.

Scenario #5: If three Clubs in a League are tied with identical winning percentages at the end of the championship season and two of those tied Clubs are from the same Division and are also tied for first place in that Division and the third tied Club has the highest winning percentage among the second-place Clubs in the remaining two Divisions, the Division Champion shall first be determined by a one-game playoff on Monday, September 29. Any playoff games played to determine a Division champion shall not count in determining which Clubs are deemed tied for a Wild Card designation. Clubs that were originally tied with a Club or Clubs for a Wild Card designation shall still be considered tied.

Example of Scenario #5: The Houston Astros, St. Louis Cardinals and Florida Marlins all have identical winning percentages at the end of the championship season. The Astros and Cardinals are tied for first place in the NL Central and the Marlins have the highest winning percentage among the second-place Clubs from the NL East and NL West. The Astros and Cardinals would play a one-game playoff on Monday, September 29. The winner shall be declared the Division Champion. Despite the loss, the losing Club would still be considered tied with the Marlins for the lead in the NL Wild Card. Those two Clubs would play a one-game playoff on Tuesday, September 30. The winner of that game shall be declared the Wild Card.

Makes sense. Giants and Padres play. Winner gets the NL West crown. Loser plays the Braves for the wild card.

I am in chiming in late, but I wanted to congratulate all the Reds fans on the OC, good luck to your boys in the postseason! Sigh, I really miss those '86 Mets ...

Thanks! So if this would happen, it would be Tuesday night before the Reds know who they are playing.

Yeah, looks like it. Although I don't think it gets to that point. I can't see San Diego sweeping with the way they've been swinging the bats.
