RED LEGS hit BASEBALL Town USA and the 1st place REDBIRDS tied with the BUCCOS in the NL CENTRAL for a Three-Piece...If you need to make up quick ground it's HEAD 2 HEAD Cincy...A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report "NL Central Clash of the TITANS" #CINCYhardball #theLOUhardball

The Red Legs come off losing two of three in Beer Town USA to the Beer Makers the Brew Crew as they still hold down the NL Wild Card's #2 slot. The Red Legs also trail the NL Central Leading Redbirds and Buccos by just 2 1/2 games as the plot thickens with a "Fight for October" Atmosphere in this three-piece classic in the Lou.

The Redbirds come off of nearly closing the Tomahawk Shop 404 for Business Thursday through Sunday as the Braves get Sundays Game to avoid the sweep. The Redbirds now are tied with the Buccos and the Pressure Gaskets are at an all-time high for the 2013 Season. Who will leave this series with their Check Engine Light or worst case scenario Service Engine Soon?

RED LEGS @ REDBIRDS from near the Gateway Arch

August 26, 2013 7:05pm ET
CIN Leake (11-5) vs STL Lyons (2-5)

August 27, 2013 8:15pm ET
CIN Latos (13-4) vs STL Kelly (5-3)

August 28, 2013 8:15pm ET
CIN Bailey (8-10) vs STL Wainright (15-7)

The Red Legs lose Pitcher Cingrani with Back Spasms but they will have that Latter "L" going in Games 1 and 2 and that is what the MLB Doctors ordered for the Red Legs. The Cards on the other hand will throw Lyons but Kelly has been impressive of late and Ace and 2013 NL Cy Young Candidate Adam Wainright in Game 3 and if the Redbirds get in trouble in one and two it should be comforting to think Wainright can get #3.
