The Reds have been a pleasant surprise this year, even spending a couple of days in first place in the putrid NL Central. The underachieving Cards are back on top in the division by a half game over Cincinnati.
Every season, a few teams will miss out on the post-season by a game or two. They can look back at games they let slip away.
If the Reds lose out on the division or a Wildcard berth by a game or two, they can point to yesterday as a game they should have had.
The Braves scored 7 times in the bottom of the 9th to win 10-9 over Cincy. That painful loss will be even more painful if the Reds lose out by a game for a postseason spot.
By the way, Brooks Conrad belted a walk-off grand slam to win it for Atlanta. Reds outfielder Laynce Nix should have caught the ball. It went off his glove and over the fence. Conrad thought that the ball was caught and had to be told to run around the bases after he pulled up rounding first.
By the way, it was Conrad's 5th Major League homer and I'll admit it. I'd never heard of him until yesterday.
