The State of the Reds

A couple thoughts on the weekend as we watched the Reds stumble back to their rightful place in the world of mediocrity:
- Getting swept by the Mariners is a joke. I don't care who they had pitching, or that it was on the West Coast, or any other excuses people want to throw around, it is just plain pathetic.
- 1 run in 2 games, and two 1-0 losses was a long time coming. The Reds had been able to "magically" eek out all these 1-run games, but the problem is eventually that magic runs out, the law of averages evens out and math beats magic every time. I don't even know what that last sentence meant. Who cares though? The Reds don't try; why should I?
- The Reds are now 7-13 in their last 20 games. Against a relatively easy schedule.
- Somehow they are still only 1.5 games behind the Cardinals and if they can manage to straighten things out quickly they can still contend. Luckily we have a great coach who will certainly figure that out and a front office that will spend the necessary money to get us help where we need it by paying for star players in their primes... oh wait..
