Tough July schedule will make or break the Reds
Written by michaelhammons on July 2, 2009 – 7:26 pm -No Pirates or Nationals to feast on this month. The Reds have their work cut out for them. Starting Friday, the Reds host St. Louis, a team whom they are competing with at the top of the NL Central standings. Following that, the Reds travel to Philadelphia and New York. Granted, Philly has strugged at home this year, and the Mets have been derailed with injuries, but both teams still feature quality pitchers and have hitters that can spray the ball around the yard. Following the all-star break is a huge 4-game series vs. 1st place Milwaukee, a trip to L.A (they have owned the Reds in recent years at Dodger stadium), and a visit to Wrigley Field to play the Cubs, who have underachieved, but are nipping right at the heels of Cincinnati.
What happens over the next few weeks will determine whether the Reds will be buyers or sellers at the deadline.
