I think that will about do it for the division, folks.

Only 1.5 games out of the WC, but the next 9 games are against teams that are good, including two teams the Reds are fighting for the WC.
If the Reds fall more than 3.0 out of the WC race by the end of the Mariners series, I think that will be a wrap for the season.

On the plus side, the Sunday after the Mariners series ends, the Bengals are back for the regular season!  

Yep

Last night when the Giants pitcher struck out the first 9 batters or whatever with little to no contact I was like yep, it's over.

Now McClain's out, who knows when or even if Fraley and India come back? Greene still doesn't have to together; Abbott is used up. I'd say we're a loss or two away from throwing in the towel. Or at least we should.

There's no use in burning Abbott all the way up or forcing guys to come back from injury for a lost season. That's the bad news.

The good news is we actually might have something to look forward too next year if ownership will get some pitching?
