NLDS

Took a couple of ex-Reds to do it.

At least they beat the soulless Cardinals. So there is that ...
Yep. Snitker knew how to get them to do what they can do as well as they can do it. He's been doing that all year with a variety of players when they're not hurt . . . Riley, Camargo, Culberson, Joyce, Duvall, Echeverria, Inciarte, Flying Leg-Kick Cervelli, Hamilton, Ortega, Jackson, Tomlin, . . . who'd have figured Fried would be a key middle reliever in the NLDS? I just shake my head at the way Snitker's gotten these guys to contribute in key moments . . . .

The best part of the win last night? GrannySope has been a Cards fan for over 85 years. And because GrandpaSope took a job in Milwaukee as the Braves' management's corporate pilot in 1957, they made me a Braves fan for life. Who'd have thunk it?
