NL Central race brings out best in Reds

By Sara Normand


Forget the knee-shaking, nail-biting race that was supposed to be the NL East this year. In fact, the only thing tight about that division this year is the Mets' unlikely stranglehold of the Braves.

I will not have anyone talk down on my team. The Mets and Braves will fight to the finish this year. Throw in the Phils who seem to get no respect this year and we have a battle.

The Reds have a batter offense than the Cards?!

I do not mean to thread-crap, i love people who write articles here. And yours was very well-written. I'm just here to lighten the blow for you in about a month.

Sorry Goat, but the writer is correct about the Reds having a better offense. Why do I say this? Because I understand the basic concepts of math.

The Reds have outscored the Cardinals this year. And it's not a fluke or hot start. They outscored the Cardinals last year as well.

The Reds very easily could fall out of the running if the pitching fails, but your questioning that the Reds offense is better than the Cardinals is unfounded.

That being said, I'm enjoying the Reds hot start.
