For the record... I do NOT like facing San Fran in the first round... just fucking sayin' before we get swept.
Why? San Francisco is certainly one of the least complete teams in the NL going to the playoffs. I would much rather go up against them then Washington, Atlanta, and ESPECIALLY St. Louis. Tim Lincecum game 1? . May not happen anyway. If Reds finish with the best record in NL, they'll face winner of Braves/Cards.
SF has a weak staff past Cain and Bummy, Vogelsong is just a flash in the pan who will come down anytime, and Timmy is past his time.

Actually our pitching stats as a team are very comparable with the other NL playoff teams, and our offensive stats are better than all of those teams'.
By all means though, overlook the Giants.
My only concerns are the recent inconsistent starts by Vogey, and of course not knowing what you're going to get with Lincecum and Zito.

But now I recognize, that you were there and so was I.
No kidding, his last start (or possibly the one before that) was terrible, so I was happy to see him redeem himself and get the win, of course. 9 strikeouts in a row is just ridiculous. This is the Fister of old.

Prince's double or single error was awesome.
His last start was his CG SO, but yeah the WS game before wasn't too pretty.
Should they clinch, a 1-4 of Verlander/Scherzer/Fister/Sanchez would be tough to match. I think I'd rather face Texas first because I'd rather try to get them in a short series where anything can happen. Plus you have to think NY is due to get us (although it is fun knocking them out every year ).
With all the ups and downs they've had, maybe them fighting for the division till the end is good. They've caught hot lately and maybe they can parlay that into a World Series run.
*breaths*
Ok, nvm. Let's get the division before I get ahead of myself. Leggo Tampa.
Honestly I wouldn't want to face Nats/Braves/Reds/Giants in the first round. Cards I think is a winnable series for a team but those other four are so damn good.
