I would guess that this weekend will dash any dreams of the Reds being in contention, don't you think?

People gave up hope of "being in contention" long ago. Those few hangers on were convinced when we were only 5 games out a few weeks ago and then got killed by the Nats, Pirates, Mets and Cards (IIRC...I remember joking that at least it wasn't a West Coast trip that did us in this year).
Seems like the remaining games are good practice for those who have forgotten how to simply enjoy a baseball game without the pressure of worrying about a pennant race, line up construction or what bone-head move the manager/GM will make. GABP will have plenty of open seats. Give it a try folks.

I said to my father this morning that if we can screw up the Cards and the Cubs and somehow squeek into 3rd place I'd consider it a huge turnaround considering where we were earlier in the year.
Mind you, it's been a horrable year performance wise, but at least we'd salvage something.
