It’s Actually Happening!! The Cardinals Choke Continues
September 28th, 2006 | Thaq Diesel

By Thaq Diesel

The Cardinals are indeed doing an impersonation of the 1987 Blue Jays.  In fact, St. Louis may be heading toward one of the worst collapses of all time to end a season.  Sadly, the Astros are capitalizing on it more than the Reds to this point, but we’re three games (well with the St. Louis optional game on Monday, 3.5 games) away from the end of the season and Cincinnati is still not eliminated from the playoffs.  It’s tougher now, however;  Houston needs to simmer down and quit winning so much and St. Louis needs to continue to pull the noose tighter.  Two variables.  Well and the Reds need to win every game, so three variables.  I realize now that they HAVE to win just how uncertain the Reds pitching staff is.  At least the Reds have Harang and Arroyo starting the next two days.  That’s a good start.

In case you were wondering, the real reason the Reds are still alive has to do with my shower - bear with me here.  Our laundry is piling up and I realized that we were basically out of towels Sunday morning.  So I went to the beach towel, which is - you guessed it - my Cincinnati Reds towel.  Since then, the Reds are 4-1.  I’ve told everyone in my family to not touch the towel under any circumstances.  If the Reds do make the playoffs, the towel could get kinda stale.  I guess we’ll deal with that if it happens.  I’m willing to take one for the team.

The Reds signed Juan Castro.  With Castro, the Reds get great defense and a great clubhouse leader.  His batting is below average (pretty weak career OBP @.271) so it’s somewhat of a push there.  He is a known quantity.
