The Washington Nationals and the Cincinnati Reds are in a Dead Heap to see which one wants the best record in the NL. The Gigantes of McCovey Cove are not far behind with 83 Victories on the Season as the Nats and Reds have 89 and 88 respectively.

All Three Races for the NL Division are pretty much locked up as the Braves are 5.5 behind but it looks like the Nats will hold on despite the Shutdown of S2..Stephen Strasburg of the Potomac 2-Pack.  The Reds are Double-Digits (11) out front ahead of the Redbirds. The SF Giants have put a close to the Boys in Blue or the D-Backs from catching them for the NL West Crown.

The September 17, 2012 Senior Circuits Power Rankings are sponsored by...All Teams had a Shot and you let the NL Division Leaders off the Pennant Race Hook for now as the Fight for the 1-Game Playoff in the NL Starts now.

3. BOYS in BLUE... 1 back
4. BREW CREW...2.5 back
5. BUCCOS...3 back
6. Phightin' PHILS...4 back
7. D-BACKS...4.5 back

The Braves are the Only Team in the NL that is close Enough to the Division Leader where it is safe to say they still have a Shot at the Division. Outside of that it is all NL Wild Card Drama.

The Brave have a 7 Game lead on the 2nd Seed Redbirds and the Redbirds have a fight on their hands. They will try to stave off the Dodgers, Brewers, Pirates, Phillies, and D-Backs in that order. The Dodgers, Brewers, and Pirates are all within 3 Games of the Redbirds with the Boys in Blue only a Game Back of the #2 Seed in the NL Wild Card.

SHOW DRAMA at its Finest...only at A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report at Bluedude Sportstalk
