Reds beat reporter John Fay dropped this little observation on the day before Cincinnati’s halfway point of the season.

If Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo don’t turn things around quickly, this season is toast.

Really? You’ve got to be kidding me. The optimism there astounds me. The Reds are 13.5 games out of first and have been double-digits back for a long time. And still Fay thinks the Reds have a shot?

This just in: monkeys have been spotted flying out of butts.
