It just looks like the tables may be beginning to turn on the Reds luck. 3 last at-bat wins for the opposition. If this keeps up we are going to be in a world of hurt in the second half. Good thing the division still sucks. :tu

Good news for the Reds, they have the weakest second half schedule of any MLB team. Only 25 games against teams with a winning record. :tu

:banger I heard that on ESPN radio the other day. Buster Olney, the ESPN insider said the Reds will win the division :banger

The only thing that scares me is that they have to play all the West Coast teams, and they typically don't do well in that time zone.

West coast is bad news for us normally.

Buster said on SportsCenter this morning he likes the Cardinals to win the division, because their schedule is fairly weak (not as weak as ours) but they are the better team. :r

Only a half game up :bh

Luckily, we have the power of the Hammer pants tonight and playing weak teams while the Cardinals play some tougher games. And we are missing Jimenez because he pitched the All-Star game. :tu

Its a dick head move. I don't care if you don't go out to dinner with the guy after the game, but he made a good play in an AllStar game that gave the NL home field advantage and a win for the first time in 15 years. Now maybe its not a big deal for the NL to have home field advantage for the Reds because they won't be there. Give the guy a high five. :2

I tend to agree, but I also like the fact that he is a diehard fan of his own team.

Again, if he doesn't want to go to the dinner with the guy, thats fine. He may play for the Cubs some day. Who knows? We aren't talking Red Sox-Yankees here. The Cubs are hardly relevant this year and the Reds haven't been in years, there isn't a huge rivalry, its not a head-to-head game and it was irrelevant to either of them individually, give the guy a high five. :rolleyes:

Anything good from the 90 team last night? I hear Eric Davis (The MAN!) said that they weren't Lou's team. They were still Pete's team. And Lou made an appearance on the screen w/ his Cubs hat still on.

Can't fault him...looks like the entire team fell flat today. If I'm not mistaken he had a HR and 3 RBI's last night.

I know... I just hate his constant HR swing. In the last at bat of the game, all the closer threw him were breaking balls down and away. Rather than just make contact, he kept swinging for the fences :td

Kind of like the rest of our team. There is no true leadoff hitter on the team. 2 out of 3 isn't bad, would have been only one if we faced Jimenez, but we got two wins off a bad team. On to another bad team next too. :tu

It was a bad at bat, but you can't blame him for the loss. It was a team effort. The only one who gets no blame in this one is Wood.

The real issue is the hot and cold streaks the Reds get into... 7 runs in one game... none in the next.... grrrr I wanna see another world series in Cincinnati... I was 7 and went to both games in Cincinnati... what an experience!!!!

That's what I'm worried about as well. The Reds need to win out if they want to have a shot at postseason...

Considering the Reds and Cardinals have enough games left against each other that one of them could have ten more losses than the other, I don't think its going to look good for the second place team in the division. The winner of the division will likely lose the first round of the playoffs regardless, this division is too weak and doesn't shape up well for a post season run :rolleyes:
