I’m trying to be positive today. The Reds won five games this week, and topped it off with a drubbing of the Pirates. When you get a 1/4 of your total season’s wins in one week, it’s news dog gone it.

Eric Milton has already given up 20 homers this season. You figure if he stays off the DL, he’s due for 33 or so starts. Since he has eleven, a simple math approach would tell you he’s on pace to give up sixty, which would easily beat Bert Blyleven’s 50 in 1986.

It’s the battle of the cellar dwellars this week as the Reds travel from one homerun happy park to another. They square off agains the Astros as OJ park. Not OJ the acquitted, but OJ the beverage.
