A CUP of JOE in the SHOW #36....NL LEADERS July 2012 before MID SUMMERS Classic...NATS, DODGERS, and the BUCCOS of Three Rivers Fame.....in the DRIVERS Seat

By now everyone should know the Boys on the Potomac are going no where but to the 2012 NL Post Season and the Bluedude is a co-signor on the Nats. Give me Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez that is House Money I am rolling with.  And low and behold the Pittsburgh Pirates tired of hearing about the 2 Other Teams in the 'Burgh have finally put their best foot forward and in Three Rivers and are leading in the NL Central.

The NL Division Leaders before the 83rd Mid Summers Classic in K.C. :

NL EAST
W-L-GB

Nats 47-32
Amazins 44-38....4.5
Braves 42-39.....6
Fish   39-42.....9
Fightin' Phils 37-46....12

The Nats have been rolling and as for the Phils getting back in it is time to start acquiring Assets and Same Day Shipping Phils' Vets off. Are the Amazins' Live or Memorex?

NL CENTRAL
W-L-GB

Buccos 45-36
Red Legs 44-37....1
Redbirds 43-39...2.5
Brew Crew 38-43....7
'Stros   32-50.....13.5
Cubbies 31-50....14

The Pirates aka Buccos  went on an Offensive Explosion in Calendar Month #6 heck you might have though the Cobra, Mad Dawg Madlock, the late great Pap Stargell, and Omar Moreno was leading the Charge. Can the Defending World Champion Redbirds cab stay in the Hunt?

NL WEST
W-L-GB

Dodgers 46-37
Gigantes 45-37....5
D-Backs 39-42....6
'Dres 33-50.....13
Rockies 31-50...14

The Dodgers regain 1st Place not after they though they were taking the Elevator Up and hit the Shaft Elevator Down. Good news they will get Mr. Matt Kemp back after the 83rd Mid Summers Classic and that bodes well for Boys in Blue Skip Mattingley. Will the Gigantes Trio of Cain, Lincecum, and Bumgarner will keep the Gigantes in the entire NL Playoff Race.
