So our young flame thrower faced three batters and got his first win last night... pushing the Reds lead over the hapless Cardinals to 8 games. Who'd a thunk we would have an 8 game lead in September? Who could believe we would end up with Chapman in baseball's smallest market instead of in New York or Boston? What a crazy season - and a lot of it is because of the Castellini family ownership and Walt Jocketty - Reds General Manager.
