Edwin, And Another Important Homestand Because...

...of the road trip that follows. The Reds need to get wins against the Diamondbacks because the Cardinals roll in after that. Then it's on the road to Philadelphia for four games, then onto to New York for three games against the Mets. I know both of those teams haven't been lighting it up lately. In fact, the Phillies just had a nine game home stand, and they lost eight of them. EIGHT! All came against American League teams: they lost two out of three against Boston, and were swept in consecutive three-game series by the Blue Jays and the Orioles. Still, games on the road against the Phillies and the Mets worry me. But let's see if they can take care of things at home first. And all of you Edwin haters, I hope to see EE here asap. Admit it folks, he was missed. Maybe he's not the best when you compare him around the league, but after two months of musical third base, he's by far the best the Reds currently have in the system.
