REDBIRDS put pressure on the BUCCOS who are Scoreboard Watching as the BASEBALL Town USA Hardball inches closer to the NL Central Crown..."GET AWAY" Day and there goes them REDBIRDS #CARDSBiz

The St. Louis Cardinals are rolling right into October Hardball as they finish a sweep of the Nats who have no NAT-itude left as they have been out of the NL East Race for quite some time. The Redbirds win 4-1 as now they lead the Buccos by 2.5 as they are in a fight with the North Siders as e go to press.

The Redbirds get a six inning four-hit  on run gem from Starter Shelby Miller as the Nats could only muster one run on five hits the entire afternoon on the Cards. Redbirds back Stop Yadier Molina nets two RBI and Matt Adams and Matt Carpenter get an RBI Each as the Redbirds await the score from the Pirates/Cubs Tilt at Wrigley.

Nats 19 game-winner Jordan Zimmerman went seven but allowed six hits and four runs and he struck out just two Cards Hitters. The Nats were making a final run at the NL Wild Card but just ran out of time and didn't take care of Business sooner. This is a season that Nats Nation will try to forget as they could not get Gio and Stras on that consistent run they had in 2012.

The Redbirds will be a factor in October like they always are and hats off to underrated Skip Mike Matheny as he has more than filled the Scooby Doos of Skip Tony LaRussa.
