WHAT A BIG NIGHT FOR THE TEAM. ALSO A BIG NIGHT FOR FANS TOO. IT’S BEEN 13 YEARS SINCE THE REDS HAVE WON A PLAYOFF GAME, AND THEY HAVEN’T ADVANCE SINCE 1995. AND THIS IS A LIFETIME FOR SOME REDS FANS, AND OTHERS TELL US THEY FEEL LIKE THEY’RE ALIVE AGAIN. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S BRIAN HAMRICK HAS THAT STORY. WELL, TO GET TO THE WILD CARD GAME, IT CAME DOWN TO THE LAST CARD THE REDS HAD TO PLAY, AND THAT WAS FOR THE METS TO LOSE. BUT FOR REDS FANS, THE SHOWDOWN HAS JUST STARTED. THE REDS FANS ARE HERE AFTER 162 GAMES. IT’S FRAZZLES THE NERVES. YOU HAVE TO, LIKE, SURVIVE THESE DAYS. MORE THAN 1400 INNINGS. THE LAST NAIL BITING NINE DETERMINED THE ENTIRE SEASON IN CINCINNATI. IT’S LIKE. IT’S LIKE A HEART ATTACK. IT’S WITH ALL THE SPORTS ARE ALL ABOUT. THAT’S WHAT MAKES IT ALL FUN AND HYPED UP. IT WAS A LOSS THAT STILL ONE IN THEIR FINAL GAME, THE REDS COUNTED ON WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE THEIR BEST ASSET MAY. WELL, HEY, THAT’S SOMETIMES HOW IT WORKS. SEE, THE REDS LOST, BUT SO DID THE METS IN COMEBACK CALCULATIONS. THAT’S ALL IT TOOK TO PUT THE REDS IN THE FINAL PLAYOFF SPOT. WELL, IT WAS SOMEWHAT ANTICLIMACTIC, BUT THE FACT THAT THE REDS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS, THEY STILL HAD TO WIN SEVEN OUT OF THEIR LAST TEN. HEY, YOU KNOW, YOU HATE TO LOSE AND MAKE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS, BUT THEY’RE RESILIENT. AFTER REMAINING DORMANT FOR 13 YEARS, THE SAME AS SOME CICADAS, THE TEAM AND THE TOWN ARE AWAITING A SPECTACULAR METAMORPHOSIS. THIS IS WHEN THE CITY COMES ALIVE. THIS IS A BASEBALL CITY. WHEN THE REDS WIN, WE’RE ALIVE. YES. STAYING ALIVE. DESPITE COMING DOWN TO THE LAST DAY OF THE REGULAR SEASON. BUT, HEY, IT’S NOT REALLY A CINCINNATI PLAYOFF WORTHY TEAM, BUT THEN SET OFF A FEW PACEMAKERS. BRIAN HAMRI
