Any verdicts so far? We look great one night and then struggle the next which is pretty similar to last year. That said, we've had a tough opening set of games and the rest of the month isn't easier. Started with two home series against the Angels and Nationals and came out with a good 4-2 record. Followed that with a series in St Louis where we've won just three series in ten years!
Currently at Pittsburgh before we have a couple of 'easier' series against the Phillies and Marlins before a real stinger at the end of the month. A seven game road trip to the Nationals then St Louis again. Ouch. If we can be .500 by the end of the month that'll be a good effort.

Looks like Cueto might be going to the DL. On the plus side Tony Cingrani has been on fire in AAA and the Reds look like they're going to promote his this week. Has something like 26 Ks in 14 innings. Got a ten game home stretch coming up so hoping to pick up plenty of wins from that.

Stinking on my fantasy baseball this year. Ike Davis flopping lost me 40hr and 100rbi which I haven't been able to replace (been tripping between Loney, Lind, Alonso and a few other dunderheads).
On the plus side the Reds are still very much in the hunt. We've got a home heavy run-in with a four game series with the Cardinals before we close with a home and away series with the Pirates (final three at home). Apart from the Cardinals our road trips look good enough to break even on so we should be able to hang onto a wild card spot.
The Cardinals have a tough couple of weeks coming up but the final three weeks in September are against teams that will probably be out of the hunt. Pirates schedule is similar to our's. I quite fancy our chances from wild card though when there's no expectation. We've got the team to beat anybody if we fire, at the time same i.e. not like the usual offence great one day, abysmal the next.
