The Reds have officially crapped away the 2-0 series lead that they at one point held over the Giants, but only after the Giants almost crapped away the 6-0 lead they had throughout the majority of today's game. It's a tough way for the Reds' season to end, as they were one of the least terrible teams in a playoff bracket that is full of terrible teams. Even worse, though, is that their season ended with a decrepit Scott Rolen flailing helplessly at a Sergio Romo pitch that was begging to be crushed.
And don't even get us started on the fact that Rolen started at third rather than Ubermensch Todd Frazier, who had his powers wasted as a pinch hitter.
Frazier's heroics, Johnny Cueto's Cy-Young-worthy season, Joey Votto's prodigious numbers, and Aroldis Chapman's fireballs—all for naught in the end. At least they still have Cat Latos.
