We have had a tough schedule to open the season. D-Backs, Phills, and the Brew Crew. The good thing is that we opened at home in the first two series. The Brewers are playing good ball right now and should be another tough series. Then we get a somewhat of a break with the Bucco's who seem to play the Reds tough. Then we have 3 more tough series in a row the Cubs, Brew Crew, and LAD. It's so important to play well against these teams especially against teams in our own division. The D-Backs, Phills, and LAD are 3 of the better teams in the NL so it's key to play well against these teams and prove that we belong early in the season. The NL is going to be interesting this year. Each division can go 3 or 4 teams deep as far as who has a chance make the playoffs. The wild card is going to be wide open because the teams in each division are going to beat up on each other making it hard to find a clear cut fav for the division winners and wild card. The Reds are showing that they are one of those teams that belong with our young pitching. We can swing the bats better and I think we will but Harang has to be strong and we have to get a better effort from Arroyo in order to keep up. I think this division isn't a weak as some might think.
