The Reds have to hold onto a team of the future tag for one more season at least, as they've fallen to a double digit deficit in the Central this season. It's the cruel luck of baseball that the Rockies, who are five games behind Cincinnati, are in a better position to try for the playoffs this year. Not that our hope is any more realistic, we just have the fortune of playing in a division where it seems as though anything's possible.
Of course, once again, to make dreams of another playoff run practical, the Rox need to take advantage of an opportunity to make up ground on the road (they really are on the road this time, I checked) something that they've proven incapable of thus far.
I'm hoping my own presence at the GABP brings a little luck tonight.
Go Rockies!
