    Call me an optimist but that looks like a Sweep.

    MIL, STL, and CIN are the same team and we haven't fared well against the first two.

    This is a much of a “must win” series as an set in May can be.

    Well then I guess you aren't going to be too impressed with the fact that we apparently cloned him as Sunday starter is "Ronel Blanco Ronel Blanco"

    Until a bat with an 800 OPS walks through that door - we will be hearing this a lot.

    shiet, did not realize the astros have to play the Reds this early in the season.

    reds gon sweep astros. they most likely gon set a record for stealing bases in this series or something.

    Every single, walk, hbp, fielders choice, error, etc is effectively a double.

    It's funny I was complaining about not getting Astros games in D/FW very early on. But, now I guess I get every game except maybe if they are targeted to Apple streaming. Last season...they were all blacked out. I don't know what the hell is going on with that. I guess I'm no longer considered a blackout area. But, that's not how it was before.
