WEST CHESTER, OH. – The Cincinnati Reds have lost four games in a row, being swept in the two-game series in Anaheim. Just when they had put together a good run of games with an impressive six-game win streak, they remind us who they are. Something we shouldn’t forget.
That’s not meant as a negative comment so much as a reality check. It’s easy and fun to get carried away with winning. That’s why we’re called fans, short for fanatics. Irrational optimism is part of the job description.
The Reds are no longer the terrible team they were for the past few years.
