whoda thunkit?

the braves are terrible on the road, but really, a sweep?

if the reds can manage a 3 & 5 roadtrip they'll come back only 3 under .500.  i doubt they can sweep the cards, bosox, & dodgers here, but the way they've been playing at home lately, 5 & 4 isn't out of the question. 

the team is then booted out of town by the darlings at MLB scheduling, 2&1 is possible at the NYY - considering how they've played so far this year.  but look for 1&2 records at Toronto and the mistake on the lake.

back here for 6/30 - 7/6 for 3 against the pirates and 4 against leatherpants' team. they will go on the road again for 3 ea. @ brewcity & chitown, a 2&4 record.

But, here it comes, a 10 game homestand after the allstar break.  i'm thinkin' 2&2 against the mets, a sweep of the pads, and 2&1 against the rocks.

here it is reds fans, my prediction that the team will hit .500 on July 27th.

'course starting the 28th is another roadtrip (3 @ houston then 3 @ dc - really who's tthe sadist that creates these schedules??)

 but as Dusty says, once you reach .500 anything can happen.
