How 'bout them "WEEKEND BENDERS" with a BROOM and DUST Pan...REDBIRDS get Swept...CUBBIES Sweep...How about them RAWLINGS Hardballs.."GET AWAY" Day Take 3 #BRAVESbiz #NorthSidersBiz

Yes if you would have told the Bluedude there will be a time after All-Star Break that the St Louis Cardinals will get swept and the Chicago Cubs will sweep in that same span I would've told you head to "Last Call" then we go over this again.

The Atlanta Braves made it happen as they sweep the Redbirds in three games as they dominated the series and just like the MLB Gods will order a rematch except for all the Rawlings Hardballs not just a three-piece at the end of July more like in the "Fight for October".

The Braves have started to hit and we know they can pitch and for once in 2013 all that has come to fruition and they are locked in as the Phightin' Phils and Nats might as well fight for the NL Wild Card like they didn't know that anyway. The Cards still lead the Central by 1 1/2 over the Buccos. The Braves are starting to open a huge gap in the NL East and lead the Nats by seven as that NATitude is starting to resurface but is it too late for the Nats?

The Chicago Cubs GM Theo Epstein has a plan and no one is jumping on the North Side of Chi City but the Cubbies are looking a helluva a lot better than thy have looked in at least three to four years and lookout. They go in an sweep the defending World Champs who at this point in the season are a shell of #OrangeOctober as they hope to get to October. The Cubs have done it with surprisingly Starting Pitching and a solid pen and that just doesn't happen on the north side of the 'Go commonly referred to as Wrigleyville.

As we go to press the Cubbies are 14 plus games out but but only seven games from the .500 mark...and Imagine That....North Siders Optimism and it has to do with that New Jumbo Tron going up in left field...right and some Cubs Revenue stream? Gigantes hang in there but the Bluedude going slide piece in the dirt on a 3-2 offering as you get a Free Pass in 2013 with Two Chips in the last four years...who else in the NL West has tasted SHAMP-PAG-NA and had not one but two Ticker Tape Parades downtown...Keep it movin' NL West!
