Here we are just before the All-Star Game (where we Cincinnati Reds are woefully under-represented) and just past the numerical middle of the season. I’ve been rooting for my favorite team all year, convinced that a confluence of factors would lead us to a Championship Season. We’re still under 500%, bottom of the division and just dropped two against the Cleveland Indians in horrifying fashion.

Now or never, guys. You must rebound in July or face having the team dismembered by the non-waiver trading deadline. I still believe you can. I still have faith in you. Get some rest as you have no duties during this break and come back strong and storm the competition. Go Reds!
