Over the last few seasons it seems like whenever we have one of those crushing defeats that sends us all into a tailspin the team picks themselves up and goes on a run of good baseball. To come back and win those last two games after the collapse in game one was awesome.

"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
we need 6 wins on this trip- take the series in Chicago and San Diego and split with the Giants.
Would go 6-4 and end the month 2 games over .500
Problem is the Reds early season troubles have put them way behind. If they want to win the division they really need to play great ball. Unfortunately if the Brewers play good ball the rest of the way there isn't much hope of the Reds taking the division. Maybe the Brewers will fall off, but if they just play 5 over .500 the rest of the way the Reds would have to play out of their minds to catch them.
Even with their play of late they haven't gained much ground in the wildcard, as the teams above them have started to play well.
That's a big issue with playing poorly early in the year. It's only early until it's not. Now, they have to play over .600 ball the rest of the way, and have some teams fall off to even have a chance at the wildcard.
