Maybe i need to get in my car and throw a world-class rant/tantrum on my way to and from work like i did during the 'niners game that year...

When was the last time the Reds hovered around .500 and then went on a great run late?
And what is "late" in your eyes?
To me, late is September, or late August at the earliest.

The last time I could find a "late push" where the team hovered around .500 midway through the year was 25 years ago when they were 66-66 on Aug 30 and ended up 9 games above .500 by the end, then went into a tiebreaker game with STL and lost, missing the playoffs.

Man, that takes an incredible amount of faith and hope to believe something will happen that hasn't occurred in 25 years for this franchise.
I'm not that kinda person.
I always look at recent trends and bank my predictions/expectations off that.
Probably why I'm usually so miserable when it comes to sports lol.
