The Major League Baseball season is officially in the month of August. The dog days of a hot summer season are slowly coming to a end, trade deadline has passed and playoff races are intensifying.

Now, I am a die hard Reds fan, I couldn't be more excited for the next couple months considering they sit in soul possession of first place in the NL Central, 21 games over .500 and currently facing the Padres in Cincinnati. Sitting here watching this young and talented team, I began to wonder, is this team really that good? So thanks to the guys over at dailyreds.com we are able to provide the updated stats as of this morning and take a deeper. Enjoy!

Also, for you Reds fans out there or baseball fans in general, you all need to tune into The Weekend Sports Buzz on 1450am here in the Kentuckiana area as myself and Kelly Patrick break down the RedLegs every Sunday.
