Reds Won't Celebrate Potential Playoff Clincher in Absentia

Filed under: Reds, NL Central

It has been 15 years since the Reds' last playoff appearance, and they can clinch a postseason spot Monday night. These days, that usually guarantees a wild, champagne-soaked celebration, but it won't be happening in Cincinnati.

The Reds are off Monday, and manager Dusty Baker said Sunday there were no plans for the team to gather and watch the Cardinals-Pirates game in anticipation of a St. Louis loss locking up the NL Central title for Cincinnati.

"It's the time of year to rest," Baker said. "Guys have stuff to do. They have family stuff, plus you've seen these guys 156 games already, you need some personal time, some family time. Probably some guys will prepare to move out of their places. Some guys only have leases until Oct. 1. There's a lot to do."
