I'm convinced the Reds are fucked even if the team goes to the playoffs. It's going to end the exact same way as 2010: a lopsided series loss to a team with great pitching.
I notice something about this team, and that is the batting is too poor and the pitching is too consistent to put it all together against a really good pitching team, as seen by the general poor play against the Pirates, and Nationals, even at home.
It's like if the Reds pitch great then, well, the Pirates just pitch a little better and lose a 2-1 type of game. OR if the Reds actually get some runs, then whoever on the mound doesn't seem to give a fuck and gives up runs to a horrific Pirates lineup.
Really pretty sad, but it mirrors Dusty's aggressive "hit yourself out of a slump" mentality, which does just the opposite.
I thought we would rack up some wins before interleague play with the mediocre run of teams we had, but that didn't happen. And that's really fucking pathetic to be honest.
