Reds Fans: Know This

It's All Good...

• So we lost a home series.  Oh well.  It was to a solid Phillies team that finally has its key players back on the field.  We should still feel like we are on top of the world right now.  Why?   

• The Reds are 83-55.  We have the MOST WINS in the MLB. Only one team in baseball has a better overall record (WSH at 82-54).  We are 8.5 games up on the nearest team in the Central, and 10 games up on third place. 
• Johnny Cueto has had a Cy Young season and continues to prove his case. 
• Mat Latos' second-half has been Cy Young-worthy.  He's 24 years old. 
• Aroldis Chapman is the most dominant force in baseball.  He shuts-down the opposition, always.  His moniker is "Missile."  And he just might be having the best season for a relief pitcher the game has ever seen.
• Brandon Phillips is not just a stellar defender and above-average hitter anymore.  He's a leader and a tremendous hitter. 
• Todd Frazier is going to be the NL Rookie of the Year!
• Ryan Ludwick is going to be the Comeback Player of the Year!
• Jay Bruce is on one of his tremendous hot streaks.  And he is among baseball's greatest offensive threats when he is on.  And boy is Jables on! 
• The best hitter in the game has returned from injury.  His name is Joey Votto.  He plays for your Redlegs. 
• Smile.  We're pretty darned awesome.
