Sport Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 The Reds magic number is at 8. They'll likely win the division, that's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is getting the number 2 seed. That would guarantee that we won't play the Phillies in the first round. I'd feel a lot better about the Reds chances against Atlanta or San Diego/San Francisco/Colorado in a 5 game series than I would against Philadelphia.Me too. But more than anything else, I want home field advantage in the first round. I have tickets for home games 2 & 3. Neither are guaranteed if they open up the series on the road.I think you're guaranteed that one of those would be a home game. If I'm not mistaken the first round is a 2-2-1 format. So you're going to get one of those games at home, but not both. Forgive us people, we're Reds fans. Haven't done this in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Over the last couple weeks I've created a new division in my head, Yanks, Rays, and Twins. It's like a whole nother pennant chase: best record in the bigs.Don't count the Fightin' Philadelphia Phillies out of that race - 1 game behind the Twins in the loss column, 2 behind the Yankees and Rays.

TopCat Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Over the last couple weeks I've created a new division in my head, Yanks, Rays, and Twins. It's like a whole nother pennant chase: best record in the bigs.Don't count the Fightin' Philadelphia Phillies out of that race - 1 game behind the Twins in the loss column, 2 behind the Yankees and Rays.Very true, but when I formed this division the Phillies didn't have a chance to affect the Twins shot at getting home field advantage vs. the Yunks in the playoffs. But the Phillies kind of just snuck up while I haven't been paying attention. Last time I checked the Braves had it in the bag. Good thing it happened though, I'm not too fond of Atlanta.Edit - Also my "500th" post, thanks for letting me back and not making too big of a fuss about it, guys. This is the best site on the internet as far as I'm concerned. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Just bored and doing a little looking back at this season...Since July 21, the Phillies have gone 41-15 (.732). Really hoping they don't mess it up this week - they rigged it so H2O would face the Braves, so they've basically going for the KO punch. Hopefully they don't miss and get a shot in the gut.

Even the way it hit him he has to spend sometime in the hospital to guard against his lung collapsing due to air getting in his chest, but MLB came within inches of a tragedy. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Reds do not get HFA, "home game 3" doesn't exist for them, and "home game 2" might not if the series is a sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Since July 21, the Phillies have gone 41-15 (.732). Wow. I knew they were playing well but I had no idea they were playing that well. That's sound asleep good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Danny Valencia has hit 3 home runs in the past 4 games. He just crushed one into the upper deck at Target Field, and I think that may have been his second or third 2nd-decker this year. If he maintains this power next year, I'd say he could hit 20 to 30 homers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Another great start by Cole Hamels last night to bring the Phillies division lead to 4. Was lucky enough to get a ticket for tonight to see Roy Halladay go for win #20. If my counting is correct, tonight will be the 119th straight sell out at CBP.Gear grinder - despite having a season ticket package, I was only able to get tickets to two playoff games - NLDS home game 2, and NLCS home game 2. Was told that the senior season-ticket holders were eligible for NLCS and WS, and there would be a lottery for other season ticket holders... needless to say, I didn't win.
