GM Ryan Stewart on the series win "I am really proud of our guys, they played hard and really showd that they are quality ball players. It wasn't easy with the cloud of not making it past the American League Division series the past 3 seasons but they got through it and are playing very good baseball. It is not going to be easy int he World Series as the Reds are a very good team but we will be ready for them"
