The Cincinnati Reds started the season with their gas tank on empty. Since rolling into St. Louis after an impressive series victory against the New York Yankees, they have once again looked gassed, too.
After dropping the first two games of their final series of the first ‘half,’ the Reds will get a chance to salvage one on Sunday in the finale. In it, they’ll get Graham Ashcraft on the bump hoping to do his usual hurling of 99 mph cinderblocks that the opposition cannot do anything with, assuming the weather in St. Louis cooperates enough - it’s been pouring down rain there all day so far.
