The Reds are 12-6 over their last 18 games, and just three games back in the wild card race. Almost everyone is healthy. I see smooth sailing ahead.

Agree. Only 2 MLB teams have scored fewer runs than the Reds. However, only 5 teams have allowed fewer.

The pitching and defense is there (save a few rough spots in the 'pen), the bats are coming around (a mere 1 run deficit coming into today), and the Reds are at .500! Let's go.

Kind of reminiscent to the Elwood Blues quote: "It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."

First world troubles I know but I can't watch or hardly pay any attention as I have to be at this KRA training....this should help something amazing happen as I cannot watch.

But, but, but....I thought it was time to "blow it up"?

Jeff Locke - softer tossing lefty (FB 90.5 average which nowadays constitutes soft). Blech, hate this matchup for Reds.

Again, just my opinion and I shall await Raisor to see if my opinion is correct.

Ludwick scratched. Heisey starting and hitting 7th.

[keeganbrick]

Pretty much have a pitching advantage in every series we play now with Latos back.

BHam with the double

[kbrake]

So Hamilton is rather warm.

[Tom Servo]

Another leadoff double for Billy, how predictable.
