We are down to the last week of this shortened baseball season. My Cincinnati Reds have gotten hot when they need it most and have reached .500 and are in the group who would be in the playoffs if the season ends today. But there are six games left to go and my Redlegs must come through. We are so close and yet the situation is so fluid. So I will be biting my fingernails for the next seven days. Because we can do it. We must do it. Go Reds!
