I don’t want to spend too much time here ranting about the Reds,  but here goes a mini-rant: Ways to NOT be in the race:  Lose 3 straight IN Colorado and score just 6 runs in 26 innings (and throw in a 5 run 9th when you’re down 6 just for extra frustration),  and basicallylook like total crap against a sub-500 team,  all this while the Cardinals are losing 7 in a row,  and the Astos have lost today,  so also out the window goes a chance to re-tie 2nd,  and perhaps pull to within 1 game of the top —- which they also had each of the last three days.  I don’t even know who they play next and could care less right this minute.  There.
