Bring home a W, Chef.
And, clearly, Ryan Braun has not heard the quote from Sparky on your signature!
Re: 8/19/13 - Reds V. Snakes
On paper, the Reds have two tough series remaining outside of the division. Arizona and LA. They are both at home.
Arizona is a hot team and highly motivated to get truly back into the wild card race.
Reds haven't done well against good teams.
I think this series will be telling. Overall, though, I'd like to see them win 5 of the 7 games on this homestand v DBacks and Brewers. Or better, obviously.

I agree. Time is running out.
I'd really like to pass the Cardinals.
We need to play well in these next 7 games. Every game is big now :)

Both teams are 7-3 in their last 10. I expect a really good series. It would be nice to win three or even four. That would just about knock the Dbacks out of it. A split would be OK too but they would still be just close enough to worry about.

The Dodgers have got to hit a wall soon. Perhaps we are catching them at the right time.
Re: 8/19/13 - Reds V. Snakes
I like our chances against their starting pitching. Win tonight to set the tone and then punch it out tomorrow to end their season!
Re: 8/19/13 - Reds V. Snakes
Huge series. Taking 3 or 4 from the Backs would go a long way in securing a playoff spot.
Re: 8/19/13 - Reds V. Snakes
We're better than this team and need to play like it. No shooting ourselves in the foot by getting thrown out on the basepaths.

What color is the grass tonight Larry?
Re: 8/19/13 - Reds V. Snakes
Need to win this game tonight. Going against Corbin tomorrow will be no easy task.

1) Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
2) Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
3) Do you like moves about gladiators?
Re: 8/19/13 - Reds V. Snakes
