  Magic Number is 5
  
  Hopefully it can be done in Chicago, I'd go.
  
  Predictions on the playoff roster?
• Midstate01

  

  I want it done at home.

  Though it'd be cool to watch the douchebag cubs fans watch us celebrate on their field.

  The choices I list for the 25th spot are in order of what would be my preference.
• Ironman92

  

  Having more than 11 pitchers on the roster in the playoffs is a waste of at least 1 spot.
  
  In 2002 Dusty used his top 3 relievers in 5 of 7, 5 of 7 and 6 of 7 WS games.
  
  I think leaving Leake off could bite them and they will.
  
  Of course the obvious was Hamilton....but we'll have Cairo pinch-running in the 9th or something awesome.
• Ironman92

  

  And no on Ondrusek.

  How do you envision being bitten by leaving Leake off? If a starter gets hurt, all they have to do is replace him with Leake?

  Received my email that I was NOT selected...bastards!
• justincredible

  

  I have 4 tickets throughout the playoffs. Like a boss.
  
  And hopefully they clinch on Friday or Sunday, at home. I can't go Saturday because of a wedding.
• baseballstud24

  I entered 3 emails..she entered 5..1/8 got selected. I'm just happy to get the chance to go. Any strategies in buying the tickets online that someone is willing to throw out there? Does logging in earlier allow me to get a better chance for good seats, or do I have to wait until the time given to me to log in?

  I'm honestly not sure how the lottery works, I've never been selected for it in the past.

  Good luck is the best advice I can give you. I was lucky last time and had my email selected. I did not get a single ticket. I had two friends do the same. So good luck on getting tickets. I was on the phone while trying online and was on hold for 55minutes and nothing as well.

  Cuetos last 3 starts scare me. I'm really hoping he turns it around in his last couple starts before the playoffs begin.

  I think he needs skipped at least once
• Rotinaj

  

  Also stubbs is hitting .127 in the last 30 days. I don't want him seeing the field in the playoffs. What a bum.

  I don't mind fall weddings. Usually great weather and football is pretty insignificant when compared to a life event like a wedding.

  Wow. So you won the lottery and still couldn't get tickets? What was the reason?
• baseballstud24

  ^^^ Yeah...That scares me. Drawing is at 9 am apparently...Hopefully people have jobs where they have to be away from the computer haha
• baseballstud24

  Got tickets for the 2nd home game..Would love to see a Reds sweep, but wouldn't mind if they won in 4 haha

  Yeah right!
• mhs95_06

  Are the Reds going to be short on left fielders due to injury? Tonight Ludwick went out due to a groin, and then Heisey got hit on the hand while batting in the 11th.
