11,800 is the attendance

That's paid attendance right? Because there's no way that is the number that actually showed up.

Counting the playoffs, the Reds are only 169 wins away from the second undefeated season in franchise history!

That seemed about right for the turnstiles. The outfield and deep foul areas were a ghost town, but in a couple shots the upper levels behind the plate had an OK crowd.

John Fay said on twitter BP hurt himself sliding into home.

I wasn't watching it that close but wasn't it a completely unnecessary hotdog slide?

I remember it being close enough to slide.

EDIT: Nevermind, I was thinking of an earlier run. Video shows he slid head-first on a throw that was late and into the Reds' on-deck circle. Dumbass.

As long as they don't run into the Brooklyn Atlantics they should be good.

I'll forgo my rant then.

Meh. The throw was way off. I am not sure the next hitter (Rolen) was there to tell him to stand up or not. Yet he certainly did not need to slide.

 

[jlb1705]

Yeah, the first run was a definite sliding situation and he went feet first. The one he apparently got hurt on wasn't even close and he went head first like a dumbass.

Phillips take put as a precaution. Knock wind out himself on slide. #reds

...whatever that's supposed to mean.

I hope he's not injured. I also hope it hurt like hell.

He's just a douchebag, sorry. I know he's our douchebag but the only thing I'll miss when he's gone is his glove.

 

[jlb1705]

Another commercial interrupts the post-game show.

 

[jlb1705]

Phillips says wind knocked out. He's laughing because he knows he was a pussy. Says Dusty pulled him so he didn't do anything else stupid, and that he'll be playing tomorrow.

Casey hit 81 on the gun on the ceremonial first pitch? From where he was standing that's like Chapman heat.
