Man I feel bad for Red fans their team went from HOT FIRE to HOT GARBAGE! I mean anyone that watched the MLB this year knew they were the worst "playoff" team to make it... Shit the Padres were defentley better and that's pretty much saying nothing about the Reds. It's sad they played probably the best NL team ever assembled in the last 25 years!

On top of everything else, Chase Utley pretty much admitted that the Chapman pitch didn't hit him.
Again, disgusting.Comment

As far as I can read there's 2 hits given up by Chapman. Singles/bloopers hits are hits and apparently you can get the bat on Chapman's pitches atleast twice in an inning. Everyone can make the arguments if not for the errors the innings would be over and blah blah blah. Hell I could say the same about the 2nd inning because of Chase's 2 errors, but you guys hit, stayed on base error or not and then drove those runs in.
Utley pulled a Jeter, Werth made it safe, Howard hacked and lost, Rollins hacked and got lucky, Ibanez hit, Chooch brough Jroll home and Sweeney had a hit.
Phils had 8 hits tonight and 2 are credited to Chapman at the end of the day, yea so we hit him.
It shouldn't have come down to getting lucky against Chapman anyway, we had lead off hitters on based almost every inning and couldn't bring them home, inspite of Arroyo laboring through 6 innings and throwing 100 some pitches.
Playoffs about pitching anyway, if we have to scratch out runs the Phils will do it, we don't worry about getting no-hitters. Maybe the reds should worry about throwing the ball to first in time and not losing fly balls in the towels *cough* lights.

Phillies are up 2-0. At this point in this year, I don't give a fuck if it was pretty, ugly, they deserved to win, didn't deserve to win or whatever. We're up 2-0 and one win away from the NLCS. Like Lenny Dykstra once said: "Whatever it takes, dude".
That said, that was one ugly win, lol.
PS - LOL @ the fans in RF chanting "Thank you Bruce" after his error.

OK, you're a delusional, rose colored glasses guy. I understand your gimmick now. That game was gift wrapped in a tiny bow, and the Phillies had no business winning it, but the Reds played like shit and deserve what they got, which is down 2-0.
Champman went out and did his job, they didn't catch the ball behind him. Those two hits had no consequence, they came after the two unearned runs on the misplayed fly ball. Phillies scored on a HBP that really wasnt, a K, a FC on a bad decision by Rolen on a dribbler, a dropped fly ball, and a ground out. C'mon guy, talking smack about Chapman is the wrong way to go when you have plenty of other targets.
When I say "disgusting", btw, I am refering to the Reds sloppy play. Not sour grapes, not pushing the idea they are being robbed. They catch the ball, they win. It's pathetic.
Pretty much.Comment

Gotta be frustrating for Reds fans when your team is supposed to be the best offense and fielding team in the NL and in 2 games they've been no hit in Game 1 and commit 4 errors in a Game 2 loss.Comment

you would think, but those of us who watched this team all year knows that they got it by beating all the teams with Losing Records. when it came time to face an Ace or a team with more than one Ace, they just didn't have it. So really it is upsetting for those of us who hate to lose, but not disapointing because it really was to be expected.

Yup.
I can live with the no hitter, because the guy pitched a great game and you don't expect to beat hm anyway. But last night is incredibly frustrating, because the Reds played totally out of character and choked away a game defensively, when that hasn't happened all year.
Instead of being in great shape and only needing a split at home to at worst face a game 5, now they have to work a minor miracle. Id rather lose 10-0 and get pounded than lose like they did last night.Comment

The Cardinals could have done this.
