Are the Reds the worst team this year to make the playoffs?

No, the Reds have a pretty good team. Their problem is they have to face the Phillies. The Braves came into the playoffs limping; almost missing the playoffs entirely at the end of the season, after losing two games to what was basically the Phillies' AAA team. I'd say the Braves are the weakest team.

No, the Braves are.

The Reds have had a really good season.

I don't see any reason why they should be called a "joke".

No,,, the Atlanta mets i mean Braves are...they lost the division to the Phillies by losing 3 strait games..and then almost lost 3 strait more at the end of the season to Philly again stoping the phils in the 9th with 2 outs and men at 2nd and 3rd to barely screech into the playoffs ... That last game of the season Charlie Manuel used 6 pitchers in 6 inn, tuning up for the playoffs, basically giving the game to Atlanta..who led 8-2 until the comedy of errors that is the braves let the phils back in the game, barely winning 8-7 now the Braves lost to SF last nite and are losing to SF 3-0 in the first..And Bobby Cox just got thrown out of the game..

Not a joke, they just played the best NL team in the first round, and possibly one of the best active pitchers(halladay) in game 1. There #1 defense fell apart tonight, that's why they lost. The team is far from a joke. One team has to lose, and another has to win, just cause another team loses doesn't mean they are a joke.

The Reds needed some playoff experience, they have a very young team, with a 3B and a SS to fill the spots of Rolan and Cabrera when they leave. The Reds will take over the NL Central from 2011-2020. We will reach the World Series in that time span. Right now it's the Phillies who have the great team. It all cycles.

Yes, I think the Cincinnati Reds are going to lose the 2010 NLDS to the Philadelphia Phillies soon.

What? they had one of the top offenses and defenses in the league all year. I know they didn't look great the first two games, but they are not a joke, they are playing a good team, but are playing sloppy.

They were playoff good, because they made the Playooffs 12 others didn't in the NL! Twins 0-2, Reds 0-2, Rays 0-2 and Braves 0-1. You can't say who is the worst in the playoffs unless they played a round robin tournament. If every team played a different team to begin the playoffs, who knows what the records would be right now! They were all good enough to make they Playoffs. There are players from 22 other teams that would love to have the opportunity to go 0-3 in the playoffs. That's how much players value making the playoffs! The Reds had a great Season, that they just weren't able to maintain!
