Unbelievable. Do me a favor.. don't read the last post. This Reds team has a wonderful way about them of making a$$es out of their doubters. While I still think they have their issues there is no way you can't be excited about their recovery from the St. Louis series. For those of you living in a cave they're up 4.5 games in the Central and are on a 7 game winning streak. Meanwhile St. Louis is falling off the cliff and has lost 5 in a row. Of course now that I've written this, the Reds will suck the rest of their road trip, St. Louis will find their bats and we'll be tied by mid next week. Hopefully not though.
Our little team from Cincinnati is starting to get some national publicity as well. Check out the links below:
- ESPN's Buster Olney says that Joey Votto is currently the front runner for NL MVP. I agree.
- Someone named Michael Robinson from somewhere called Donbest highlights the Reds run and how its coming at a great time as they had previously lost 12 straight over 4 seasons in LA.
- Digital Sports Daily takes a quick look into how the Reds are getting it done.
- Curious about what the San Bernardino County Sun thinks about the Reds extension offer to Baker? Of course you are!
- Yahoo's Big League Stew, which is actually pretty well written takes a look at the Reds' willingness to use the suicide squeeze and Cabrera's ability to make the best out of a bad situation on the DL.
Save those for Monday and allow your work productivity to drop.
As for the Baker extension here are my thoughts: He sucks at in game management, but clearly his players love him. Would it be nice if we could have both? Of course, but given the other options that would be willing to come to Cincy, and the job Baker has done this season the extension offer was the correct move, and I hope he accepts. Please don't remind me I said this next time Baker uses Leake to pinch hit over Nix, Janish, Heisey, and Hannigan.
