Tonight starts the much anticipated Reds/Cards series at GABP. Both teams have been playing absolute crap baseball recently. The Cards are currently 4 games up on the Reds. This is a big opportunity for the Reds to make up some serious ground in the NL Central race. How do you see this series shaping up?

I see a solid Cards sweep. The Reds have been playing crap baseball and now playing a team they are intimidated by. Look for many errors, shutouts, second guess swings, and the sweet smell of shame. Better luck next year Redlegs.

LOL I hate to say it but I agree. The Reds are scared of the Cards. Have been for years. The brooms are coming...

What really sucks is the fact that the Reds will get solid pitching probably but once again, gather 0 run support

Quotes of note:
"I am absolutely shocked there has not been a players only meeting for this team." -Marty B, 700WLW
"In order to have a player's only meeting, you have to have someone to talk," -The Cowboy, 700 WLW
"Let's be honest, the only guys that could do that has been out since Opening Day," - Marty, 700 WLW
Marty: "Is this team now at a crossroads?" Jeff: "There is no question,"
That is some pretty damming stuff...
Dont say I didnt warn you guys a little over a month ago...

Well, the guy I wanted them to bring in that would talk... they didn't get so it is going to be another painful off season.

I don't think Ludwick can pick this team up. This team is going down faster than a big mac in a fat kid. I like this team but they need to dump some guys and bring in some baseball players... not likeable guys with flashes of being a real ballplayer.

Oh I agree, Ludwick wont save this team. My only point was the fact that he is a guy who will be vocal in the clubhouse. He wont have too much to offer with his bat either. This team has too many problems to stay afloat in the playoffs, if they even make it

I agree. This team needs a shake up. There are a lot of contracts coming up this year so there is the possibility of a very different Reds team next year. We will keep our core but it will be interesting to see what we have in total next year.
