Last Chance?

Shockingly enough we are only 4 games under .500 We have 6 games left before the all star break, if the reds could somehow win 5 of 6 would you consider them back in the wild card hunt? Remember those 6 games are against the cubs and brewers.

Right now they are 7 back of wild card leader St. Louis. With half a season left to play, I think that is more than enough time to make up 7 games. The only problem is it's 7 games and 6 teams they have to leapfrog. Daunting but doable. I think as the season goes on were only going to see better things from Votto, Bruce, Volquez and Cueto. With a few moves before the trade deadline, I think they have a shot.

I find the season to be more enjoyable when I convince myself that they do have a shot, as opposed to wallowing in what-ifs and player bashings...unless of course its Patterson :D

Ask me this question in a week. We'll find out alot about this team in this 6 game stretch.

Let's hope the Cubs' inevitable implosion starts this week.

Hopefully our big name manager is telling them the exact same thing even though you
would think they know better.

I would love for it to happen but, it won't. This is not a playoff-caliber team.
