Sports in Dayton - The Reds

The Cincinnati Reds

 

Yes, I have been falling down on the job. I freely admit that, but it was for a good reason, work.  The last couple of weeks I have been busy and I have neglected my responsibilities. So forgive me I'll try to catch up now, starting with The Reds.

Who is 7 games out in front in the Central Division of the National League in mid September? Answer: Cincinnati. The Reds are 7 games up on second place St. Louis and 12 games up on third place Houston.  Wow, this is a great year for Reds fans. 

The player stats are impressive as well.  Leading the team in the batters box (of the regular starters) is J. Votto with a .321 average, 34 home runs and 161 hits. Next in line is Hernandez with a .306 average,  6 home runs and  86 hits.  Coming in third is Rolen with a .292 average, 19 home runs and 126 hits. 

Pitching has been in good form too with Arroyo at 17 wins and 10 losses and Cueto with 12 wins and 5 losses.

As we get closer to the end of the regular season play, it looks like (dare I say it) post season here we come.  Regular season ends October 3.

Dare I admit that my sentimental favorite in that division was the Houston Astros? Comes from many decades ago when I lived in Houston and had season tickets.
