After the Reds dropped all five of the games I saw them play against the Dodgers and Angels earlier this season – bringing their record in greater Los Angeles over the past 15 seasons to an abysmal 15-40 (and yes, I’ve suffered through most of those) – I hoped that a quick trip east might end my personal losing streak. At the time, I had no idea that the games I’d chosen to attend would fall in the middle of what was arguably the team’s most important series of the season, if not the past five years – a showdown with the NL Central-leading Cubs that would likely make or break the Reds’ longshot postseason hopes.
