A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #81....BOYS in BLUE tackle the New BUCCOS on Three Rivers at PNC for a 4-Game Set in the 'BURGH...DODGERS trailing GIGANTES in NL West and PIRATES trailing REDS Legs on the OHIO by 4.5

There is work to be done on both Fronts as both the Dodgers and Pirates are chasing Division Leaders the Gigantes and Reds but the Wild Card Race on Senior Circuit is in their Grasp including the Braves in that Mix.

If both the Dodgers and Pirates stay on the Heels of their Division Leaders they will most Certainly be in that 1-Game Wild Card Playoff Game to see who is moving closer to the Fall Classic.

The 4-Game Set at PNC on THREE RIVERS in the 'Burgh..BOYS in BLUE vs BUCCOS

Monday August 13
LAD Harang (7-7) @ PIT Karstens (4-2) 705PM ET

Tuesday August 14
LAD Billingsley (8-9) @ PIT Correia (9-6) 705PM ET

Wednesday August 15
LAD Kershaw (10-6) @ PIT Rodriguez (7-11) 705PM ET

Thursday August 16 Getaway Day
LAD Blanton (8-10) @ PIT McDonald (10-5) 405PM ET

The Dodgers are throwing their Big Guns in Billingsley, even though he has struggled lately, and Kershaw vs the Buccos in this 4-Game Set.

The Pirates throw Corriea and McDonald and no A.J. Burnett for the Buccos. The Wild Card Race in the NL is a 3-Headed Monster as the Dodgers are the only one of the Three that appear able to catch their Division Leader in the Gigantes.

Look for McCutchen to continue his Assault on the NL and the Dodgers Trio of Kemp, Ethier, and Hanley Ramirez to start putting the Boys in Blue on their Backs.
