As I've written before, I am a life-long Cincinnati Reds fan. It's been a fun, and at the same time miserably painful week to be a Reds fun. We've won 5 out of 6 games this week (thanks to a double-header with the Cubs) so it's been fun, but we've lost both Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips, our two big stars, to injuries. We've also had two pitchers leave the game early with muscle spasms/tightness, and Skip Schumaker is on the concussion DL. So we play who we've got, and just give it the best shot.
But after coming back against the Cubs in the second game of Tuesday's double header, last night was an even bigger win! I mean Tuesday it was the Cubs, but last night it was against the Pirates...a legitimate playoff contender! The thing about this team is that I literally can see them grinding it out...some of them are literally gritting their teeth in efforts to win the game. I love this team and I'm having so much fun watching them!
