A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #149...Then BOYS in BLUE are running out of TIME in 2012...a Visit to the NL's Best is not what the CHAVEZ RAVINE Doctor ordered...DODGERS @ NATS 3-Piece Preview

Its a Rain Out as the Dodgers can enjoy the DMV Metro Area for a night and Scoreboard Watch a little. The Nats on the other hand have MLB's Best Record but what they don't have is S2...Stephen Strasburg the Right Side of the Potomac 2-Pack as G2... Gio Gonzalez is the Left Side.

The Dodgers come into the 3 Piece with NATS only 1 Game back of the #2 Seed in the NL Wild Card Redbirds of Baseball Town USA St. Louis, Missouri. The Boys in Blue know they will not catch the Gigantes for the NL West Crown but have their Sights set on that 1-Game Playoff for a chance for advancement into the NL Divisional Playoffs.

The Nats have their Sights set on having the Best Record in the NL Playoffs and some Home-Cookin through the NL Playoffs. They lead the Red Legs of Cincy by 1.5 games and it will be a Photo Finish as the Dodgers needs this Series a Little more than the Nats.

They will play Two on Wednesday and the Dodgers will go with Harang and Beckett and in the Double Dip. The Nats will have Zimmerman and Lannan going Wednesday and one has to wonder what the Nats Staff will look like in Winning Time with G2 being the #1 and No S2.

The Dodgers need this Series as bad as anyone and will be watching all Games in the NL that include the Redbirds, Buccos, Brew Crew, Phightin' Phils, and D-Backs with a sprinkle of the Padres who are just 6 Back in the NL Wild Card. Nats will Only be watching the Red Legs and what they do as the NL's Best Record is on the Line between those Two Clubs.
