And make it to the playoffs?

They've been one of my favs since the 'Big Red Machine' in the '70's...

The Braves are doing well...The Red Sox are trying to get there but it doesn't look good for them....

I sure hope so. They're a young group of players showing a lot of potential for future seasons...on other ball clubs when they go to renegotiate their contracts cuz that's the way it goes anymore, right? 🙂

Exactly...They have a small payroll hard to keep the really good ones....

FGM, I'm a huge baseball fan. I watch and study it every day and have been a Braves fan since the Murphy/Horner days back when they sucked.

I honestly think you have a shot, but it's going to be tough. St. Louis is playing well and will be hard to keep from taking the division. For that matter, I have a feeling the Phillies are going to overtake the Braves within the next week. If you have to fight for the Wild Card you're in for the fight of your life with the Braves or Phillies and Giants.

The Red's line-up is scary. Votto is crazy good. I compare him to Adrian Gonzalez - when he comes to the plate I cringe. You need to bolster the starting rotation and bullpen. Cueto is a stud. This kid could throw a no-hitter at any time, but he can't do it by himself. (I think he's on the mound today against the Braves). Arroyo tends to fade in August and September - if he does you're done.

Yes, you have a shot, but you'd better continue to hit HRs and score a ton of runs down the stretch.

My $0.02. I wish you bad luck in the weekend series though. : )

I won't know who to pull for! LOL!

I'll be there Sunday.

Come on up FGM, and stay for the concert (Mercy Me)...we rented a box! Unfortunately, you can't smoke cigars in them. 😞

Mercy Me is AWESOME!

Wish I could!

The Reds and the Braves would be so cool to see...

Sitting here in St Louis its a tough call. The Cards on paper are a better team. They have played below expectations which is unusual for a Tony Larussa managed team. Nearly every player is playing below their career averages.

The Cards sweep a good LA team in four games, then take 3 of 4 from Philly then lost two of three to Chicago and the Mets. They are hard to figure out. The whispers coming out of the clubhouse is that this season seems to be a grind. They are not having fun.

The Reds are playing above expectations. They are having fun.

At least its going to be interesting. I find myself scoreboard watching. The early indications were that it would be a boring season as the Cards ran away with the division.

Nope

TEXAS RANGERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wheel,

Nope,

The cards will get it together and take the division ..

Sparky, Where are you ?

#11 They're bankrupt and owe A-Runs MILLIONS!

I hope to see the Reds make the playoffs, I haven't been alive long enough too see both the Reds and the Bengals make the playoffs in the same year, it sure would be nice.
