I have been away for a while, but I’m back due to the fact hours ago the Reds took it to the St. Louis Cardinals to overtake first place. If it weren’t for that fat-shit, 15-game loser to be Aaron Harang we’d have swept their asses in front of as close to sell out crowds as we’re going to see. The Reds are for real and they’re not going away. The next 14 games are against teams that are .500 or worse. The Reds are going to build a lead and put a strangle-hold on the NL Central. Baseball Tonight is going to be forced to give us more then 15 seconds of air time at some point.

Jay Bruce hasn’t even begun to hit yet and he’s been over .300 and .900 OPS since the first 7 games of the season. Brandon Phillips has done little at the plate. Drew Stubbs is just now starting to get wood on the ball (as St. Louis found out last night).

Remember your boy Mevs told you–the Cincinnati Reds are gonna go Cinderella on us all–and they’re not going away all season long.

If you are a person who likes to root for the underdog, follow our box scores for a few nights. Finally this town (even though I live two hours up I-71 North) has a team that they can be proud of. A team of grinders. A team that wins ugly. A team that to date has still been outscored by a run. Dusty’s team.

This is as close to real life Major League the movie as it gets.
