Only because of that (.659 W%) 27 W - 14 L run they had in June. The other 3/4's of the year they've been an awful (.389 W%) 44 W - 69 L team. That's kinda like saying if we weren't so bad in 1 run games we would be a playoff team. You can't pick and choose samples. And devoid of any consistent source of excitement since Hamilton's numbers have diminished. Cueto's starts remain a draw. But home support has been strong: regularly 26,000 paid per game or more for the home games in September and still over 20,000 for Cueto's start in the Thursday day game against the Cards...

We can all hope and pray they play like they did for that 41 game stretch next year (they were healthy).

When was he hurt before? Either way, comparing football to baseball is next to worthless. If I was gonna make a point, I would point to Strasburg and Harper in Washington. But that would be selective sampling.

Winning these last 2 pretty much guarantees that the Reds won't finish any higher than 8th in the draft pick sweepstakes, but barring winning 4 of the final 5 or better, we're guaranteed to be top 10 worst.

Sorry everyone, the 2014 Reds officially aren't losing 90 games. 85 to 88 losses, depending on the next 3 games.
There are currently 9 teams with more losses than the Reds. At the moment the Braves, Mets, Marlins, Padres, and Rays all have chances to lose exactly 85 games. The Reds could still miss out, if they win 2 games against the Pirates... and finish with a 76-86 record.
