D Lee’s error didn’t help much

I hope that this doesn’t mean that our 7th straight loss is going to be a major choke job.

unbelievable

Just 10 minutes ago, the Reds needed 2 runs per out to tie the game

NOW THEY ONLY NEED 1 per

Misread Gameday...

thought the Cubs gave up a 5th run in that inning.

ok so back to 2R per O.

I guess we can just call the 8th a fluke…right?

by rrtycoon2 on Sep 6, 2008 9:01 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

3 outs. Cubs coming up in the 9th

Cubs 11 — Reds 5

I stand corrected. Pat said it on the broadcast which Cory then corrected.

I apparently missed the correction due to a very loud cricket chirping in my garage.
