Baseball Town USA rejoice as the REDBIRDS clinch the NL CENTRAL after smashing none other than the NORTH SIDERS...LYNN on the BUMP and YADIER at the DISH..."WEEKEND BENDERS" REDBIRDS last grabbed the NL CENTRAL Crown in 2009 #theLOUHardball

The St. Louis Cardinals wasted no time as they can have a Weekend to relax as they finally close out the NL Central by hammering the Cubbies 7-0. The Crown came with a a steady diet of W's and a loss by the Buccos in the last week and which they did lose.

Redbirds Starter Lance Lynn picked up his 15th win of 2013 as he cruised past Cubs Hitters going six and allowing just four hits and nine strikeouts as he didn't give up a free pass or a run. The Redbirds Offense was supplied by Solo Shots by David Freese and Matt Holliday and a Three RBI Night from the Redbirds Back Stop Yadier Molina.

The Cubbies get 2013 All-Star Travis Wood an inning worked as he nets 200 Innings pitched for 2013 but he was walloped in the process.  Wood gave up three runs on four hits as he struck out one and gave out two free passes. The Cubs at least for the 2nd straight season won't get to 100 Losses and for that Clubhouse it has to be rough and even rougher on Skip Dale Sveum.

The Redbirds now await the Red Legs and Buccos Wild Card Saga to come to a conclusion on Tuesday Night to see who they will play in the NL Divisional Round.

Congrats Redbirds and Redbird Nation on being the 2013 NL Central Champions!
