I sense a Reds storm rising.

The Reds have gained 2.5 games in the past week.
This is FAR from over

Reds now 20 and 4 in their last 24 games against the Cubs.
In the midst of deep-seated Cardinals hatred and rising Pirates hatred, let us not forget what is truly important.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

Not that it's necessarily untrue, but thought this little poll in Derrick Goold's STLToday.com chat yesterday was funny...
Poll: Biggest threat to the Cardinals in the division standings?
Pittsburgh 37%
Cincinnati 2%
Themselves 61%

Klw, kudos to you for this thread....the team is poised, and the schedule supports, a move towards 1st place. They have been slogging through mud for a while, and yet now are 3.5 back, but positioned to continue striking.
Will be fun to look back at this thread 8/26.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Time for Reds to win on the road and win against better teams they play. For example, have to beat Brewers on the road. Have to win majority of games v Cards and Bucs.
The pattern of losing road games and losing series to good teams needs to end now. The Cub series in Chicago so far is a good start.
Staying strong with my "by August 25" prediction.
4-1 now. Won 6 of 7. St Louis, Arizona win, Pittsburgh loses. Washington won its 4th in a row to remain 8.5 back in the WC.
Reds 3.5 behind Pittsburgh, 5.5 ahead of Arizona.
