Wow - the Pirates have actually caught the Nats, -209 to -206.

Perhaps catching the Nationals is behind the decision to start VanMeter the past couple of games. It's good to have goals.

The Reds have 46 wins.

The Pirates and Tigers have 45 wins.

Oakland trails with 43 wins.

And the Nationals have only 39 wins.



The Bucs, however, are entering a frightful part of their schedule.  After 3 upcoming games with the Reds, they face the following:

Phillies

Brewers

Blue Jays

Mets

Cards

Reds

Mets

Yankees

Cubs

Cards (6 games to end the season)



All but the Reds and Cubs are in play-off contention, and the Reds and Cubs have been playing better as of late.



In short, the recent stretch of painful games may be just the start of a miserable end to the current season.


Yikes, that's a murderous schedule for our boys.  And even though Joey Votto is out for the season, which one would think would make it easier for the Bucs to grab a few wins, forget it.  As long as Jonathan India can strap it on, he'll single-handedly win nearly all of those remaining games for the Reds.  He friggin' kills us.
7 of those teams are in the playoff hunt.

Don't forget your favorite,Brewer, Kolton Wong

I don’t give Wong a second thought until the Pirates play the Brewers. Then he’s all I think about because, I swear, he bats every inning.
