Let us not forget who the Reds are playing. That said, I love the wins and will take them any way we get them, against whoever.
The Reds are 5-2 in the second half of the season!! More reason to be optimistic!!!
:redszone:
The Reds to this point in the season have played better against teams with winning records than they have teams with losing records. So that considered, I'm pumped about the past three games.Quote:

So, with that in mind, all wins are good wins.
5-2? It's the Jerry Hairston, Jr. factor. That's what a difference a good leadoff hitter makes versus an inept leadoff hitter.
I was just thinking the same thing, LOL :laugh: It's about time they start beating the teams that they should be beating and if you add this new concept to the fact that they do well and somehow beat the teams who should be beating them, then we could see a really fun second half of the season. I'm having fun watching the young guys anyway but if you throw a few more wins into it, then that's just fantastic. BTW-That Jay Bruce catch in CF was the #1 web gem on Baseball Tonight earlier this evening! :beerme:Quote:

Imagine this team without the Corey Patterson experiment.
The only thing to talk about on REDSZONE would be "when are the playoff tickets going on sale", and who can we trade "for" to push us over the top.Quote:

The Brewers are going to lose some key players possibly and they could have 5 1st Round picks next draft.
And Dunn's 3-run shot ties it up.
So far this season, Dunn's OPS is absolutely identical to his career OPS number.
By the end of the season I expect his OPS to be the best he's ever had. I'd be shocked if he doesn't end up with an OPS of .950 from July through October.
If only they could beat the Dodgers and Pirates..
i was gonna say the same thing. definitely play to the competition.Quote:

Exactly! Though my wife laughed at me when I said that and said she could tell I wasn't raised in Cincinnati.Quote:
