Re: Baseball
The Reds had been playing one of the weakest schedules in baseball, now they have to play 13 straight games against teams with winning records.

Re: Baseball
Not when you still have 120 more games to play.

Re: Baseball
Imagine where the Reds would be if Wainwright hadn't blown out his elbow? Or if Freese hadn't broken his finger? Jeez, with a bit of luck, The Birds could be 6 games up right now.
Re: Baseball
Bet you love those pitching pairings with the Phillys.

Nope. Hate it. This could very well be a 0-10 road trip. Still not worried. "One A Day For Men" can only take you so far.

Re: Baseball
Joey is a terrific player. Right now, he's the best 1B in the league. Never though I'd be saying that.
I guess it's no shocker that the Reds sent Volquez down. How can a guy with that much talent pitch so poorly?
If you haven't seen them, you might want to check out the playoff odds:

According to go standings.com the Cardinals are already heavy favorites to win the central.

Re: Baseball
Looks like the Reds are taking another beating.
At this point, I can't help gloating, but if this goes on much longer, I'll actually start to feel sorry for you Reds' fans.
Which do you think is worse, a 10 game losing streak or being on the receiving end of Red Bird's pity?

The Reds' failure to live up to your expectations.

Re: Baseball
They haven't even played a third of the season. You're like a broken record
Re: Baseball
Yea, but history suggests that teams in first place at the beginning of June ordinarily finish first. The stats say the Reds have only a 24% chance to make the playoffs.

If they're 10 games back at the allstar break I'll start to panic.
Re: Baseball
I'd bet the panic button is hit before they fall 8 games back. But that's a week away at least. In the meantime, let's see how long they can keep this streak going!

Re: Baseball
Damn Did we ever need that one, with Halliday pitching for the Phils tomorrow. Thank God for Jay Bruce.
Re: Baseball
It's more fun when the Reds lose.
