    The older I get - the better I was

    and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)

Sometimes they wake up in time and rally, but more often than not it results in a loss. They have the talent to win a World Series, but I question if they have the will to. Teams that go through lackadaisical stretches don't generally have a lot of success in the post-season.
    Actually I think it is a talent/depth problem, always has been here.

    Wow. this makes me glad a late night/early morning had me napping on the couch during this one.

    and I've said it before, this team just seems to hate making up ground on the Cardinals. They gain a game, they give it right back... Sucks.

    Can't change the past, you can only change the future.

    Put it behind you and move on. Make it a good day for all the dads tomorrow.

    If talent was the problem, we wouldn't rank so high in starters ERA and runs scored. The talent is there. The problem is this team is schizophrenic and has been the entire season. They can look like the best team in baseball at times (hence the third best record in the league), but also look at times like they just don't care. That's a leadership issue, IMO.

    Given the Cardinal's woes lately, I'm wouldn't be surprised if come September, the Reds stop watching the scoreboard and start preparing for their first playoff series.

    You can find posts like this on every team's boards. It's a long season. Over 162 of them, all teams are going to have bad games.

    I don't care about other teams, and I'm not talking about bad games (everyone has those). I'm talking about games in which a Reds team with WS hopes looks unfocused, unprepared and generally uninterested. It happens too often with this team, and those games add up over the course of a long season.

    They have a better L10 record than we do. During their "woes" they've added another game to their lead. The Reds need to take care of business on this homestand, because they have a brutal road trip on the horizon.

    Speaking of effort, I want to give a thumbs up to Jay Bruce. When the Reds offense went into sleepwalk mode the last 8 innings against the Cubs, he continued to hit. Then today when the offense looked uninterested again, Jay was 2-3 with a BB.
