Reds 4 Cubs 3
Reds' 3-run ninth burns Cubs
High hop sets up Cabrera's winning single off Wood

Jolbert Cabrera, left, is hugged by his Reds teammates after hitting the winning single to left field.
CINCINNATI -- The grin on Jolbert Cabrera's face was as wide as both batter's boxes and he placed a finger in front of his lips and said, "Shhhh. Don't tell Lou Piniella. That's two walk-offs for me against him."
Cabrera should know, Piniella is like an elephant (only meaner). He doesn't forget.
The latest was a thriller in Great American Ball Park yesterday, a three-run ninth-inning rally that ended abruptly when Cabrera pulled a line drive single to left to score the winning run in a 4-3 victory for the Cincinnati Reds over the Chicago Cubs.

Dont look now but these young Reds have some life in them. They've rallied late numerous times this past month and really hung tough when they new they were out of it. Chris Dickerson is a find. Putting him in there with Votto, Bruce, Phillips and E5 (at times) is actually fun to watch! The pitching of Bronson Arroyo has been amazing this past month and a half. The guys' arm isnt made of the same things yours and mine are thats for sure. These guys are eliminated but they're having a blast making it tough on the clubs at the top. Tonight they rallied once again in the 9th to take down the Brew crew. I'm seeing tremendous similarities to this club and the one Arizona has built. A couple of major pieces need to be added somehow and the differences in the manager are the major obstacles. Still, they dismantled in mid season and have done at least as well as before if not better. We still have to get Patterson out of the lineup but overall, its much much better than I imagined in my head a month ago.

Ramon Ramirez is up with the big club and Todd Coffey was DFA'd.Bestbuck36;1253772; said:
It's been a good week.
Hysterically, while the Reds are in Milwaukee, the Brewers just claimed Coffey!

He's like a cheaper version of Eric Gagne. They should be pleased.
I'm not paying attention at all, but I hope the Reds do to the Brewers what they did to us in 1999 to close the season.

Pass along our condolences for having to leave an organization like the Dbacks and come to one like the Reds. We are extra special sorry for the whole Dusty Baker thing, we feel your pain.
Also, I would like to personally apologize in advance for having to lump him with the rest of the players and rip him apart when they start sucking ass again next year. It's nothing personal.

You guys think there is any chance that Dusty gets let go after the season?

Ironic, I usually turn to Buckeye football to escape Reds baseball. So last night, I turn to Reds baseball to escape Buckeye football.
Fucking Micah Owings ... Doubles in the winning run as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning in Arizona!
And what does Adam Dunn do in the same game? Bottom of the third, Volquez walks the bases loaded and forces Dunn into a 1-2-3 DP.
