The Reds lost 2 out of 3 to the Padres.  Rather than say the Reds are basically the playoffs, which would be easy and somewhat logical, I’m going to stay optimistic and fight to the bitter end.  At this point it’s either think that way or become Randy Quaid in the left field bleachers in “Major League.”  It’s so tough to stay positive when your team has remained at .500 for the past month (actually one game under for September).  They just haven’t recovered from that late-August West Coast road trip.  Still, happy thoughts… 

My next pipe dream is that the Reds sweep the Cubs at Wrigley (I’m going to see one or two of those games this weekend, which will be detailed in the Monday morning post).  At the same time, either the Dodgers or Padres (I am indifferent to which one) sweeps that series.  Oh, and the Cardinals lose all their games, as do the Marlins, Phillies and Giants, Barry Bonds retires and Tony LaRussa ceases to be an a-hole.  Now I’m really reaching.
