I saw him wincing too. Could be nothing, I hope it's nothing.

Yes, but in the last 10 games, we've fallen a game behind them. Makes me glad we have a half season to do better (which is really is something to think about).
Last year on June 29th, the Reds were 42-34, and had a one game lead over the Pirates and 2,5 over the Cardinals. We've improved from a .553 winning percentage to .568 and still find ourselves 4.5 games behind the Pirates and 1.5 games behind the Cardinals. In the last 10 games, we're 3-7.

The Reds and the Cards have stunk lately. Cherry pick end points if you must. The Reds have gained on the Cards since the 2 teams played each other 3 weeks ago, see how easy that was.
On a bigger note, I sure hope Shelby Miller turns into a pumpkin soon. (The A's did their part) If he is dominant it will be a tough 6+ years for the Reds.
That felt like an important win. Another one tomorrow would look even nicer heading into July.

Totally agree and the Buccos and the Redbirds seem to have an easier schedule. For instance, the Pirates are playing the Brewers at home and we are playing the Rangers in 100 degree heat. But regardless, we're playing pretty good ball, but the two teams ahead of us are playing better ball right now. Now the trick is to catch up.

Personally, I doing my best to completely ignore the Pirates and Cardinals. The only thing the Reds should focus on is themselves. If they play well, they'll win the division. As fans, we should just enjoy the ride. If another team plays out of their minds and ends up ahead of us, tip your cap to them. But this team is MORE than good enough as is.
For you guys who have been pulling their hair out of late, looking at things this way might make your life have a bit more sanity in it. Enjoy the little things. Leake throwing a great game. Devin stepping up with the game winner. Choo snapping his slump with a solid game. Manny freaking Parra throwing well. I know...I'm stunned too. :O)
