REDBIRDS on the OHIO at the Great American Ballpark in CINCY to take on the RED LEGS...a Four-Piece pivotal Series in the NL Central and Wild Card...A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report...REDBIRDS @ RED LEGS go MLB Labor Day Classic #CARDSbiz #REDSbiz

Happy LABOR DAY to all....

Already under way with Wainright vs Latos on the Hill for the Redbirds and Red Legs this should be a really good series. The Redbirds come in tied for the NL Central lead with the Pirates. The Red Legs come in just 3.5 back of both but sitting tight as the #2 Seed in the NL Wild Card. The Red Legs could make thing real interesting if they win three of four or sweep the Redbirds. On the other hand the Redbirds could put the Red Legs up for 2013 if they can manage to get three or all four. The Buccos will  be watching this closely as they have to take care of home first.

STL Lynn (13-9) vs CIN Reynolds (1-2)

The Series stacks up with all the big guns going as game one is already in progress. Bailey and Reynolds for the Red Legs or going to have to amp it up as the Redbirds have three of their four best going with Joe Kelly shutting down the Buccos in the 'Burgh on Sunday.  Game one will set the stage and it would be big for the Red Legs.
