REDS have a Six-Game Home Stand where if they win all Six they may have a shot at the NL CENRAL Crown...up first the AMAZINS'... A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report can the RED LEGS make a leap into the NL CENTRAL Crown? #REDShardball

Can the Cincinnati Reds catch the NL Central leading St. Louis Cardinals as the lead is only two games. The Redbirds have the Nats to entertain and the Buccos who are tied with the Red Legs are on the North Side of Chi City facing the Cubbies. We know this there will be a one game playoff in the NL with the Reds vs the Pirates but one has a shot at the Central Crown is the Redbirds stumble.

AMAZINS' @ Cincy vs the #REDLegs

September 23, 2103 7:10pm ET
NYM Harang (5-12) vs CIN Cueto (5-2)

September 24, 2013 7:10pm ET
NYM Niese (7-8) vs CIN Leake (14-6)

September 25, 2013 12:35 pm ET
NYM Matsuzaka (2-3) vs CIN Reynolds (1-2)

The New York Mets come in with nothing to lose as the Red Legs will be playing and scoreboard watching the Buccos and Redbirds. Reds 2012 Ace Johnny Cueto is more than a welcomed addition back to that Rotation and he is most likely still on a pitch count.
