If it feels like this Cincinnati Reds season a) got off to a rather raucous start, b) cratered hard thereafter, and c) hasn’t yet featured a single game between the Reds and Chicago Cubs, well, that’s exactly what this season actually is.
Here we stand, on the final day of May, and the Reds and Cubs will finally be getting together to play the game of baseball. Or, rather, they’ll get together and play whatever the heck it is they’ve been actually playing for the last month and a half.
Since the Reds completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels on April 21st, they’ve won exactly one series.
