Reds get some love

From YankeesSuck.com:
After the Cardinals, one team controls the future of the NL Central: the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds have played some fantastic baseball this year, due in large part to the efforts of Bronson Arroyo and Adam Dunn, and are only 2.5 games behind St Louis for a share of the NL Central division crown. I'm not saying Cincinnati can go all the way this year, but let's face it, the team has some talent! After a few years of injuries, bad luck and sitting near the cellar, it is about time for the Big Red Machine to clear off the moth-balls and bring on the pain. Why am I so confident in the Reds? For one thing, they play in the epitomy of a hitter's park and their offense if highly potent (Ken Griffey, Adam Dunn and Rich Aurilia are a frightening trio with numerous talents). But one thing that shocks me as an under rated part of the Cincinnati repertoire is the Reds' pitching staff...
He goes on to praise Harangatang and the Lizard like no outsider I've seen yet. It's nice to see the team getting some respect. Now, if we want to keep that respect, we need to take the next two from the Chisox and get a stud reliever in the next couple of weeks.
