Monday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Monday, June 30, 2008

HOUR 1:

Verizon Wireless is a new sponsor of Team 1380, and Cat is getting a phone and wireless card…..Cat wants a time machine though, and can’t wait to see the “can you hear me now” guy from the commercials.

Cat is sick of people always thinking Kansas City is going to be a great team, and the guys try to think of good players who left the Royals like, Jermaine Dye, Carlos Beltran, and Johnny Damon.

Tim is excited for his trip to Las Vegas…..Producer Joe was disappointed to learn that people voted on Friday’s exit poll that he would be arrested in Las Vegas because he hasn’t been arrested in a very long time……Cat’s wife beat him in poker, which really upset him…..She had a flush and “coffee-housed” him according to Doug….If Cat wasn’t so scared of her, he would’ve done something.

If Anna Kournikova wins, Doug will hold her up in the air like he did last year…….He did it because he got paid…..She winked at him throughout the match, and she actually called Doug night and day till he changed his number…..

Mike Shannon went nuts on Kansas City’s short stop in yesterday’s Cards game for dropping a pop fly because he wasn’t wearing baseball-issued sun glasses. When you sweat while wearing eye black, it makes you look crazy like Tammy Faye Baker.

Keith Law told Producer Joe he will “never come on the show again” because of how his interview went a couple weeks ago…..He said he felt he was treated unfairly. Cat wasn’t there for the interview, but Tim and Doug said they didn’t think the interview was bad at all.


HOUR 2:

Keon Lawrence is leaving Mizzou due to personal reasons……Coach Mike Anderson plays a style of basketball which needs depth because of their run n gun style……Losing him is a huge step backwards…..Coach Anderson hasn’t landed the type of recruits that who can turn the team around…..Mizzou basketball isn’t popular right now because people don’t know the players…...Doug said an important piece of the puzzle is that Mizzou needs St. Louis kids on the team…..The caliber of players was better when Quinn Snyder was the coach……Cat said if the team plays well, it doesn’t matter where the players are from.

Joe Strauss:
Strauss said that the first time Mark Mulder comes in to pitch out of the bullpen will be interesting…..There was a chance for him to come in yesterday, but LaRussa didn’t want to bring him in while the game was so close. Joe doesn’t understand why Mulder is with the big league team…..Albert Pujols is the best right-handed hitter Joe has ever seen in person…..Ryan Ludwick has improved significantly in the past 2 games. Chris Duncan has also shown improvement lately with his swing…..Joe thinks it’s still game by game for Mitchell Boggs because he isn’t going real long in games, but he has good stuff and you have to give him more time……The Cards have serious problems in the bullpen with a lack of left-handers…..Its really hard to say who the Cardinals could get in a trade because it depends what they are willing to give up…..There is no real news on Adam Wainwright, and he isn’t scheduled to be back until after the All-Star break……Joe said maybe Jaime Garcia would be brought up as a left handed reliever instead of a trade…..The team has 15 guys on the DL including 8 pitchers……

The Cougars Next Door contest starts today on InsideSTL.com, with 37 year-old Tracy…..Cougar hunter Jake pulled a couple new recruits from when he went to the Trainwreck Saloon in Westport…..Cougars are all over the place at the Lake, and it’s easy to take your pick….His buddy took a girl below the deck of the boat they were on…..Jake gets $50 per gal he gets in the contest.


HOUR 3:

Producer Joe is sharing a room with Tim Pickett, and Tim is worried that Joe will be so drunk he will pound on the door of the wrong room yelling to be let in……Producer Joe’s buddy went into the wrong hotel room on spring break one year when he was drunk, took his clothes off, and got into bed naked with a couple kids. The kids’ dad came in beat the crap out of his friend.

Mitchell Boggs:
Mitchell said he went deeper in the game Saturday because he is pitching better. Hopefully he can get a little more comfortable and pitch longer in games…..Dave Duncan has been working hard on his change-up with him…….It’s all about confidence when you throw a change-up or you’re just going to lob it up there……Mitchell said that his start in Boston was a big game for him, and he got his nerves out of the way pretty quickly. He said that the Cards scoring so many runs early in the game really helped him ……..Fans for some reason think it’s hilarious if they yell “Wade Boggs” at him…. Mitchell said that it is a lot easier to play with flying each time you go somewhere, instead of riding buses in the minors……The Cards are giving him opportunities to pitch well, and all he can control is going out there and doing the best he can…..He will do whatever he can to help the team win….. Tony wants him to take it day by day and come in and learn…..Mitchell is from Carpet Country in Georgia, and he would rather play on turf than make the turf…...Mitchell knows that the Cubs are a huge rivalry and he is looking forward to an awesome time.


Leftover Riff Raff:
Doug chopped off his son’s finger that usually does the downloading of ring tones and increases his cell phone bill…..Tim’s lopsided head is his trademark—just like Cindy Crawford’s mole…..A birthmark is like a fern according to Doug…...Tim’s cousin sent in 5 cds full of crappy music for the guys to use……Tim was thinking about treating Producer Joe to Cher in Las Vegas, but Cat said they should go see Wayne Newton……Doug has a couch called a Davenport……People feel like they need to go all night in Las Vegas so they overdose on Coke……Doug wouldn’t share a room with someone named “Big Grease”…….Doug guessed a song coming out of break today for the first time ever….. There are some nice looking groupies in Memphis……Sometimes when Cat flies with the team, he helps unload the luggage to help speed up the process so the guys get more rest……

Friday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Friday, June 27, 2008

Tim wants this show to be the best so Cat asked if they have time to get 3 new hosts in there…..Producer Joe wasn’t at the show today because he stayed up all night partying at a concert at the Pageant…..Apparently the guys didn’t need any guests today except Norm Chad……Jim Edmonds said that he thinks he will be able to call in to the show today.

Cat went down to Memphis with a camera crew and was very disappointed because Matt Clement didn’t want to do an interview…….Doug said maybe there was a plumbing problem in the locker room so he didn’t have time, but Cat said he actually had a tool belt with a crescent wrench so if he had a plumbing problem Cat could’ve helped. At that point, Cat joked that he told the camera guy to “pack it up.”……He interviewed Colby Rasmus, Joe Mather, David Freese (who is openly rooting against Edmonds), Brad Thompson being a yo-yo up and down between the majors and minors……J-Rod said he would do anything to be back with the Cardinals.

Doug wasn’t paying attention during the show because he was trying to come up with a would ya…..Sean Young from Ace Ventura is his pick.

Doug’s friend gave his kid one smack on the but in the grocery store and the next day he got a visit from Child Services because someone got his license plate number and complained.



Exit Poll Questions:

1. Cardinals reliever you most trust to get out of a close game?

2. Love or Hate Steven Jackson?

3. What’s most likely to happen in Vegas----Tim wins, Joe gets arrested, or both end up in a hot-tub with Andy Dick?

4. Worst job you ever had?

5. Judy Tenuta, would ya?

6. First 3 choices if you had to form a posse?



Norm Chad:
Norman said that Vegas is the only place left in the world where everyone else smokes, and you get second hand smoke in your shower……Word got around town that Tim qualified for the tournament and entries picked up because everyone knows that it will be easy to take his money…..A lot of people get tight on the first day because they want to survive…….Cat asked a question for Tim----are the men hot?.......They cap off each of the first 4 days of the beginning of the tournament at 3000 people…..Chad said that a lot of online players have the philosophy of kill or be killed….You can’t win the tourney on day 1, but you can get knocked out……Norman said he plays Stud and Omaha when he plays…..He couldn’t make up his mind last night if Phil Ivey would still win the whole thing now that Tim is in the tournament. He said that it was a coin flip, but the coin flip was actually between Phil winning the whole thing or Tim getting knocked out the first day…….Over the long haul, skill wins out, but there is a big luck factor…..Sometimes people who just started playing 6 months before slip through and almost make it to the final table….. Chad’s advice was to be rested and dress warm.


Exit Poll Results:
No one told Russ the intern that he was supposed to count the votes on the message boards on Tim’s website so there weren’t a lot of votes today.

1. 3 way tie between Izzy, Franklin
2. 9-3 love Steven Jackson
3. 5 votes for in the money
4. 9 votes for Joe to get arrested
5. Majority of votes had to do with maintenance votes
6. 1 person said yes for would ya
7. Tim and Cat received 3 votes, Doug got 2 votes as well as Will Ferrell



Leftover Riff Raff:
The McKernans aren’t fighters…..Tim needs to not “turtle” when he is playing in the tourney in Vegas…..Cat is a loose player…….Rudy can’t believe that Doug broke up his band----the Von Trap Family singers……. Tim is a pickle kisser…….

Thursday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Thursday, June 26, 2008

HOUR 1:

Cat said he feels like he should be on the current road trip because of who the team is playing, but he is very happy he was at home watching on TV during the rain delay last night. He sent Dan McLaughlin a text asking how he was doing during the delay, and Dan sent back curse ridden texts that Cat could not repeat on the air.

Shawn Chacon of the Houston Astros has been indefinitely suspended after getting into a fight earlier this week with GM Ed Wade. Chacon grabbed Wade around his neck and slammed him to the ground in the cafeteria when Wade was yelling at him……..John Mozeliak is a fitness guy, and runs all the time. He does two sets of 50 reps of 50 pound dumbbells…..Jim Edmonds hit another home run last night. Cat claims that he never thought Jim Edmonds was done, but Tim thinks he is lying.

Tim contacted his guy at Lumiere about playing poker and practicing for the big tournament…...Cat said Tim needs a coach who would deal him pocket aces so he can work on not getting too excited and try to bet constantly.

Tim bets not a lot of people watched the end of the Cardinals game last night because it ended so late. Tim thought it was going to be rained out……Albert Pujols said he will play today in the Post-Dispatch even though there is rain in the forecast. The guys talk about who should be sent down to Memphis when Pujols comes off the DL. It will probably be Nick Stavinoha, but the guys agree that it should be Chris Duncan because he isn’t hitting and he is bad defensively……Taking the Duncan name out of the equation, when Pujols comes back, Duncan will have to play the outfield which he doesn’t do well and he isn’t hitting so he should be sent down.


HOUR 2:

Jayson Stark:
Jayson said it is always an issue when a player is the son of a coach, but if you look at Chris Duncan objectively he is really just an extra player…..He should clearly be a DH… Stark just doesn’t see him as a 7 day a week player; he is a part time player…..Power buys you opportunities in baseball, and how he hit the ball the past 2 years has helped the Cardinals cut him slack…..Jim Edmonds looked like he was swinging underwater with the Padres, and everyone thought he was done. Then he goes to Chicago and got an opportunity to play in a smaller outfield and a better hitters’ park…..Stark said he thinks the Cubs are the best team in the league especially if they get Zambrano back and stay healthy. However, they are the Cubs and you have to play the game……Bobby Cox is in a league of his own when it comes to current managers, and Mike Scosia has been great with the Angels, but Tony LaRussa has to be in the conversation of the best managers….. Jayson loves Steve Kline even though he thinks his last name is Starks……Jayson thinks the Cardinals would be a good fit for Erik Bedard if they make a move.

Cat is going to miss the insideSTL happy hour at Maggie O’Brien’s today because he will be headed to Memphis……Producer Joe will be there for a little while, but has to go to a concert.

Steve Kline:
Steve was sitting in his house in Montreal this morning…..He is expecting a baby boy in 2 weeks. He has 2 girls already so he is excited to “have someone to kick around”……Steve said he is retired, but if someone calls his agent he will go back and play……He doesn’t throw the baseball anymore because he is retired. He goes swimming with his kids now because it’s summertime…...Kline got kicked out of a game for the Lehigh Iron Pigs when he bumped the umpire and said some choice words and was suspended for 7 games. The next day he was released and decided to retire….Steve said that he doesn’t understand how people who never played the game can tell him how to pitch. They want everyone to throw as hard as possible, but they don’t realize how important movement on the ball can be……He said that some D-bag wasn’t playing attention and rammed him with a cart in a grocery store, and he wanted to take him outside and beat him…..Steve kept saying he wanted to be a pitching coach, and he would love to do something with the Cardinals. He also has been applying for college coaching jobs. He said he is ready to even coach college football…. He doesn’t want to work at a prison because if he had to tackle an 18 year-old his leg would probably fall off and gravy would come out……Steve said maybe he will become a writer. “How do you spell I?”…..Kline said that the last autograph he got was the Commish---Rick Hummel. Rick wouldn’t sign for him till he put him in a headlock……Steve said that going to the World Series in 2004 was the best memory for him as a Cardinal…..He is looking forward to buying his 6 year-old daughter breast implants…….Steve knows Italians who are executives at casinos out in Las Vegas and said Tim should meet up with them…..Cat said that Steve should grow a mustache and get breast implants…..Steve said he was happy to speak English with the guys because he hasn’t spoken English in months up in Montreal……


HOUR 3:

Bernie Miklasz:
Bernie said it’s almost creepy how many shows are on the station and how many people come in and do shows on the weekend. One night Bernie was there late one night and some guy kept asking Bernie to come on his show and he was annoyed because he really had to finish his column…..Albert Pujols is coming back today and Bernie said he would be surprised if the Cards would send a pitcher down so it would come down to either Chris Duncan or Nick Stavinoha. It is very very likely they will send Stavinoha down because Duncan is picked on so much and apparently has a permanent spot on the roster ……Those who think they are doing Chris a service are really hurting him because they aren’t doing what they could to get him on track. They have no hesitation sending pitchers down and other players down when they are struggling, but they don’t want to move Duncan…..The left-handed relievers in the bullpen is a bigger issue…..You cannot let Ron Villone face right-handed batters, and Randy Flores has really been struggling….. Some managers just forgo having multiple lefties and just have a better right-handed pitcher instead of a struggling lefty……McClellan and Perez are examples of guys who can get left-handers out……Cat has been leaving money out on the console over the weekend……Someone put a post on Bernie’s press box that he hates Brent Stover, and Bernie posted “goodbye clown” and banned him from the Post-Dispatch forum…..Bernie said that on the show they were clearly joking around that Brent was a moron for saying Bon Jovi was the best band out of New Jersey, but this poster would have known they were joking if he had half of a brain.

Brooke Hogan doesn’t understand why people are making a big deal out of her dad Hulk Hogan rubbing her down with suntan lotion but the guys point out that it is pretty weird that he was rubbing it on her but when she was wearing her swimsuit…….The guys ask Producer Joe if he will rub down Tim while they are in Las Vegas if he asks him to. Joe said no and Tim said what if he says please and Joe said NO.

Verne Troyer has a sex tape out and Producer Joe thinks that the new movie Love Guru sucks so the tape is out to gain some publicity for it……The guys question why that would make someone watch the movie and Joe said Paris Hilton’s sex tape made people watch The Simple Life.


Leftover Riff Raff:
Tim has leprosy…..The guys pretend that players like them and listen to the show…….The move would be for Cat and Doug to go to the Caribbean, get a 2 man raft and drink pina coladas while splashing their feet in the water……Steve Kline is possibly going to be Obama’s running mate according to Cat…..Tim would only grab a guy to fight if he was a small skinny guy…... Tim likes saying “iron pigs”…….Rudy said that Hrabosky would make Hungarian goulash with anyone he would get into a fight with……Edmonds actually sent a text to Timmy with only about 8 minutes left in the show to see if he could come on, but it was too late and the guys had to do the Ticket Guys Email of the Day contest…….Jim sent him another text saying they could do an interview after the game at 12:30 if Tim is still awake with LOL at the end of it…..Not only does Rich Gould play cards, but he is a grandmaster of all card games.

Wednesday Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Wednesday, June 25, 2008

HOUR 1:

Cat usually drinks two Red Bulls a day……The guys talk about drinking sweet after dinner cordials, and Tim had a Baileys at Café Napoli the other night……When Jim wants a steak he goes to a steak house; when he wants a cupcake he goes to the Cup Cakery……Doug likes the cherry pies that have a half-life as long as uranium ……Jim Edmonds hit another homerun last night and may join the show today……..

The Cardinals have a way to make good teams look bad, and it seems like the goofier the lineup that Tony LaRussa puts out there the better they play.

The Cat’s Pajamas:
Iggy couldn’t find the open for the Cat’s Pajamas at first and blamed it on someone moving it in the system………Listener Jeff Daniels sent Cat a link to a story about the ascending career of a Ventriloquist who got a $100,000 million deal in Las Vegas. He is making 2 new puppets---a gay one and a Cougar---and Cat said that proves that maybe the Cardinals should open a puppet theatre at Ballpark Village…….Cat honestly felt bad about asking Brad Thompson if he was being sent down last week because he started to tear up. Tony should’ve told the media he was being sent down…….John Cussack is a nice guy to be patient with the film class idiot girl who thought he was in American Pie. She confused him with Kevin Spacey, and John didn’t lose it on her even when she pressed him on it.

Back in the 70s there were 2 Yankees pitchers who swapped wives and families….One of them got divorced almost immediately, but the other may still be married to his new wife.

Tony LaRussa took a shot at Cardinals fans in the paper today. He said what happened to the Cards fans because there are no Cardinals players in the top 2 in terms of votes for the All-Star game. Tony said Yadier Molina should at least be in 2nd place, and he said that the team doesn’t let the Cubs beat them and the fans shouldn’t let them either…….Ryan Ludwick has been in a bit of a slump since he joined the show. Doug thinks Albert Pujols and Kyle Lohse will be the Cardinals representatives.


HOUR 2:

Brent Stover:
Brent said when he asked Nick Stavinoha to do an interview last night, Nick said “the other guy---what do they call him----said that he couldn’t do any interview unless they are with him so Brent interviewed Brendan Ryan…..Ryan said that some radio producer keeps calling him 5 times an hour to come on the air and he is not happy about it…..Stover and Cat compared techniques of asking post-game questions of Tony…. Brent said sometimes he wishes he had some scotch before he had to talk to Tony to take off the edge…..Cat said that Brent wears a suit or the FSN shirt to the ballpark, but then slips on a “I love schnauzers” t-shirt when he goes into Tony LaRussa’s office……You can ride Rick Hummel’s coat tails….You can’t talk much baseball with Wellemeyer because you will get a yes/no answer, but if you ask him about politics or other stuff he is interested in he is a good interview……Yesterday at the FSN staff meeting Cat had to stick up for Brent because of all the complaints of his coverage…… Stover lists his All-Stars as Molina, Lohse, Ludwick, Pujols, and Wainwright, but the guys say they think the Cardinals will only have 2 guys……Albert Pujols looked really good swinging and run the bases pretty hard yesterday so he will probably be back on Thursday even though now first base is Adam Kennedy’s to lose….. Brent told T-Mac to stop blowing sunshine his way until he calls him off the air and invites him out for a cocktail.

Shaquille O’Neal rapped the other night in a New York club and ripped Kobe a few different times…….“Kobe couldn’t do without me.”…..Shaq will lose his special deputy status in the police department. Doug said that this was a stupid thing to do for Shaq because he always had a good image….Shaq said that it was all done in fun; nothing serious whatsoever. “I’m totally cool with Kobe.”

There is a story in the student newspaper of the University of Kansas about a girl who is engaged to the “White Owl” who was visible at the Mizzou/Kansas game…..He went to Target everyday to woo her, and they plan on having kids after they get married…..When asked how they will make money, they said that he gets disability money and they will make a few websites……The guys wonder what kind of websites the White Owl could make…..



HOUR 3:

Tim said that Deandre “the Bull” Latimore was very impressive in his win a couple weeks ago, and he would like to see a fight with Cory Spinks…. Doug wants to see a current score in boxing, but Cat said that would take away suspense from the decision……Tim and Cat talked about having a charity boxing bout, but if Tim beat Cat, he would have to leave the state and change his name to Possum Pete…..Cat could do radio as Possum Pete in the morning and then he would do the weather later in the day, and he’d have to take out the trash……Most heads don’t have corners, but Tim’s does and that is an advantage for him…


Al MacInnis:
Al said he is feeling pretty good coming out of Ottawa after the draft…The Blues first pick Pietrangelo is a great player and has a lot of great attributes….Chris Mason will be a very capable back-up goalie for Manny…..It was very hard to trade Jamal Mayers because he was here for so long…….Al said they need to be aware of how many games Manny plays and look for Mason to fill in a lot…..Pietrangelo is close to 100% right now and has time to prepare for training camp….Al said that with the way the game is played today, Alex can move the puck and the Blues are excited about what he can do….Phillip McRae has played with and against all the top first round guys, and he is a great player……The Blues picked him because he is a great player, not because he is from St. Louis…..Phillip is a very skilled player, and he has a chance of putting up 100 points in the minors next year……Al said they will be looking for David Perron to have consistency this year because young players need to condition and work hard when they make the jump to the NHL……Al doesn’t think they will change how the draft works because when a kid is 18, he can join the army and do many things and that should be an age where guys can make a living in hockey……McInnis said that there aren’t many things he would like to do over again in his life, but if he was 21 years old, he would like to jump in the mix with these kids on this team and grow together and become a great team in the next few years…….Cat asked if the Blues should go out and get another goal scorer, and Al said they aren’t going to trade any of their young guys for an old goal scorer and they can get increased goal production from the guys on the team……There are plenty of guys in the league who have had sophomore slumps, and they believe Lee Stempniak will bounce back and get the scoring touch back……Al said he gets along and enjoys the people he works with and he likes what he is doing with the Blues. A lot of what he does is going out and watching players in the system, and he enjoys it. Al said he wasn’t fortunate enough to win a Cup as a player with the Blues, but he is looking forward to winning one in the position he is in now.



Leftover Riff Raff:
Tim enjoys women with Tats and sometimes track marks and Doug enjoys men’s abs…… Chris Hanson actually had a karaoke machine in his last bust of a guy trying to hook up with a 13 year-old…….Doug said the drop seat pajamas are underrated incase you have an emergency……..Some celebrity gets in trouble everyday in this country because of what they say……A lot of people get engaged at Target……If Iggy can get the White Owl on the show it would be bigger than getting Steven Jackson….. Cat said he needs a hand laceration and a rehab stint in Memphis after the verbal assault from Rudy…People were always afraid Al would shoot at them, and Doug said that if he never got hurt he may still be playing.

Tuesday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Tuesday, June 24, 2008

HOUR 1:

Joe Buck was on Dave Letterman last night, and Producer Joe is working on getting the sound in the system so the guys can hear it…..

Tim won a tournament online to play in the World Series of Poker, and Cat sincerely congratulated him…..Jim Edmonds is in St. Louis and he will come on the show if he is awake……Cat is redoing his upstairs bathroom, and he convinced Edmonds that it is a good investment, so Jim is going to give Cat $10,000……Tim has the option of taking the $10,000 and keeping it instead of playing in the tournament, but he would have to pay approximately 35% of that in taxes……Cat said he would end up giving his house away for a $1 if he tried to play poker online……Tim’s marriage anniversary is the first day of the tournament, and she gave him her blessing to play…..Tim would probably do a happy dance if he does well.

Edmonds told Cat that he could sign his name at his restaurant when he eats there…..Tim is going to start harassing Edmonds with texts around 8….The guys didn’t ever think Jim was done and they are impressed that he still handles centerfield as well as he is…..Tim told Edmonds that he is going to miss out by not investing in him because he is going to do well in the tourney……Doug asked Tim to not do any coffee housing when he is playing out there. Coffee housing is when you start talking up when you have a good hand……Tim said if he wears a Poker Stars shirt, they will give him $1000…… The guys wonder if Joe Strauss has a goal of playing in the World Series of Poker…….



HOUR 2:

Derrick Goold:
Derrick stayed in St. Louis on this road trip……It’s a Rick Hummel special…….Cat would rather go to Cincinnati than Detroit......Derrick misses the Pizza Poppalopalis …….The guys talk about how crappy Detroit is and there are really no hotels to stay in downtown…….Cat said what he likes about going on the road is not having to wake up early and come into the studio to see Doug picking his teeth with a matchbook…….Mark Mulder was scratched from playing for Memphis last night in Nashville…….The Cards said it was because of Mulder’s sore back, but Cat wonders if it is a hand laceration……. Cat said he would have him make multiple starts before bringing him up……..Derrick said it seems like every time Mulder is close to coming back he finds a reason to start a new rehab assignment…..Derrick said maybe there is some connection between Mulder’s new windup and delivery and his back pain……The Cards are trying Matt Clement as a reliever to try to get a return out of their investment…..Todd Wellemeyer was supposed to throw last night, and he may make the start on Thursday……Albert Pujols is expected to join the team in Detroit today, and Derrick said he thinks Albert will come off the DL Thursday and will want to play.

Boy George dated a dude in his band back in 1984……Tim’s Aunt Maureen got him a Culture Club album for his First Communion……..

Radio Host Don Imus is in trouble again from talking about black people on his radio show…..His co-host talked about Pac Man Jones being arrested 6 times since being drafted by Tennessee, and Imus asked his co-host what color Pac Man was. When the co-host said that Jones is black, Imus said well there you go……Imus said people want to get him and it is ridiculous. He said that what people should be outraged about is that police target black people and arrest them for no reason……Pac Man said he is praying for Imus……Doug said you can’t kill anybody but white middle-class men…….


John Mozeliak:
John said he didn’t think Cat was on the show…..Wham is not Mozeliak’s favorite song either……Tim keeps getting rumors about stuff and texts John to make sure they are right before he reports on the rumors, but Tim is worried he is texting him too much….Mulder experienced back spasms, and the Cards don’t think it’s too serious…..John said it is frustrating, and the team wants to know what he has to offer….. It is apparent that Mulder isn’t going to give them much so John said that they have to figure out what they are going to do to get more pitching whether it’s internally or by trade……The team is going to have Matt Clement try being a reliever to see how he does throwing 20 to 30 pitches and more often instead of 100 pitches every 5 days…..Albert Pujols is feeling good, but they will have a much better gauge on when he will be back today when he gets on the field in Detroit today……John said they were all really optimistic about Chris Carpenter coming back, and there is no structural damage in this latest set back. It is more likely something that is a common bump in the road in his kind of rehab…….Mozeliak said that no one would’ve thought that the team would be doing this well with all the injuries……John said that he thinks Ryan Ludwick, Pujols, Kyle Lohse, or Ryan Franklin could be the Cardinals representative in the All-Star game.......John said that they are trying to get Chris Duncan to perform like he has for the Cards and to play like he is capable of doing…..They sent him down to get him more at bats so he could try to find his swing….The family ties “of course” influence how they deal with Chris but do not influence if he is on the roster or not.


HOUR 3:

Doug would have Tim in a headlock which explains his mis-shaped head and Cat would be off to the side eating cake if there was a billboard promoting the show.

WWE Wrestling Recap:
Tim missed the WWE last night because he was grilling and watching There Will Be Blood with his wife……Doug watched it and said that part of the stage fell on Mr. McMahon…..The guys briefly played a clip of Vince yelling and then they talked about the stage falling on him…..Vince’s body is huge.


Nick Stavinoha:
Nick said there are so many guys from the minors up here it is easier to make the transition to the big leagues….Nick played middle linebacker in college on scholarship, but decided that baseball was the sport for him…..He called his wife first when he was called up. He’s not sure what he will do with the ball from his first major league hit….It was an awesome environment to get his first at-bat in Fenway…..He said he was nervous but it went away as the game went on, but he was anxious the entire time……Nick led the Memphis team in hitting all year but wasn’t concerned about not being called up yet... He was focused on helping his team win and worrying about performing……It is a lot different to hit at each level…..Colby Rasmus was seeing a lot of different pitching at Triple-A than Double-A so that is why he was struggling earlier this year. However, he raised his batting average considerably now and will do fine…..Nick grew up as an Astros fan, but he wasn’t crushed when Pujols hit that huge home run off of Brad Lidge..….Nick said that when Brent Stover comes over to get him on the FSN pregame show, he will tell him that he only goes on with the Cat.



Leftover Riff Raff:
Jim has to have a smoking jacket on when he is having a serious conversation about poker…..Tim is going to wear the diapers like that astronaut wore driving across the country while he is playing incase it goes late into the night……There is special trace paper you can use to trace your balls……Tim’s I-Pod is full of gay songs because he is gay……When he leaves the studio he checks out guys…… Doug is big on Jesus and Cat is big on waffles…….Wham is not John Mozeliak’s favorite band……Zany is better than Nutty……Nick Stavinoha said the first thing he did when he was called up to the big leagues was call Tim’s wife…….

Monday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Monday, June 23, 2008

HOUR 1:

Tim’s microphone is going to fall off, but he notices that the pictures of him on the wall of the studio have stuck a pin in his face…..Cat said that Big Z hates him…..Doug has a forensic kit in his car so they may just look for fingerprints…..Doug thinks it is a sign that Tim is going to get whacked….Tim has participated in freestyle raps like in 8 mile at Club Buca…..Doug can’t follow rhymes…..Cat said that all of Tim’s rapping is the same---“if you don’t like it then you can talk to my dad, my dad, my dad.”…..Steve Kline was released….Cat wonders if he is healthy and someone should give him a shot because his career numbers aren’t bad…..

Tim McKernan woke up this morning and was depressed when he read on his website that George Carlin had died. He was one of Tim’s favorite comedians of all time……Cat said last time he saw Carlin, he was bloated…..Doug enjoyed Carlin’s work on Thomas the Tank Engine TV show…..

Tim said he was shocked at what was in the game story of the Post-Dispatch after the game yesterday. Tim was surprised that Tony applauded the team after the loss because of how personally Tony takes losses…..Cat said he is surprised that Tony didn’t give the team cupcakes……The guys agree that it was one of the best games they’ve seen in a long time……Cat tipped his cap to all the great Jewish ballplayers in baseball……Tim said it is disappointing that the Cards were so close to sweeping the series yesterday because they have blown games in the late innings too many times this year……Tim has a tough time celebrating a loss…..The guys agree that if Albert Pujols was in the lineup, the Cards would probably win yesterday.


Ken Rosenthal:
Ken said that the Cards’ performance shows their unusual toughness……The starting pitching is the most impressive thing so far because of all the guys on the DL. A lot will depend on the health of the starting pitching but Ken thinks the Cards are in the race for the playoffs. However, anything can and will happen…..Ken doesn’t buy the strength of schedule argument because catching a good team who is slumping is better than facing a bad team who is hot…….Kyle Lohse has very good stuff, and over his last 6 starts its as good as it gets……JD Drew is well liked by the fans in Boston right now…..Cat said he always though Drew was a good guy, but a lot of people think he isn’t reaching his potential…..Jim Edmonds has awesome power to the opposite field, and Ken thinks Jim working on his batting stance has helped him bounce back with the Cubs. Jim Edmonds is a little of a different personality, but right now he is performing again. At one time, people were thinking of him as a potential hall of famer if he kept playing at a high level for a number of years.



HOUR 2:

Bryan Burwell:
Burwell joined the guys to talk about his column about Steven Jackson……Bryan thinks that everything Steven said was true about fans selling tickets and some home games having the feel of away games…….Burwell isn’t surprised about anything Jackson says, and thinks that Steven’s comments about the receivers not blocking is a little bit of a wake up call…….He doesn’t think a whole lot of people hate Steven Jackson but the fans who do are very vocal……Tim said that they will take calls in the next segment, and they will see how many people hate him because he thinks a lot of people want him to just shut up and play…..Doug thinks a lot of fans appreciate that Jackson says what everybody is thinking, Tim thinks a lot of people don’t appreciate what he says……. Bryan said that a lot of people listen to the radio show, but only some people call in and those people are usually angry and they influence how people perceive the fans’ opinions. Marc Bulger said that sometimes he tries to come up with ways to make Steven pissed off during the game because he plays so much better when he is mad…….Cat said he thinks that St. Louis needs a guy who is outspoken like Jackson…….Doug said it’s interesting that Jackson has become a controversial figure when he is really a great guy, and Marshall Faulk was a saint even though he caused problems with the media, fathered many children out of wedlock, and wasn’t the greatest guy. Bryan said that he thinks it’s because Marshall didn’t say anything, and then Tim asked why Brett Hull was so popular when he spoke his mind many times…..Bryan believes it is because Brett was a hockey player with blond hair and blue eyes, and the guys briefly talk about how racially charged the typical St. Louis sports fan is…..Doug said Jackson’s not a gangster.


The guys took calls from fans about their thoughts on Steven Jackson’s comments for the rest of the hour.


HOUR 3:

NBC Sports’ Johnny Miller issued an apology Friday for what he said about Rocco Mediate looking like the guy who cleans Tiger Woods’ pool…….Middle aged white men who are Protestant and of Irish descent are wide open for criticism but you can’t make fun of anyone else because you would be called a racist…..Tim said that people can make fun of 30 something short guys who have misshaped heads and get away with it…..Cat thinks it’s more racist to take something that isn’t a big deal and to make it into an issue…….The guys wonder if you can get away with making fun of Asians……


John Davidson:
John said that it was really hard to trade Jamal Mayers. Jamal was here a long time, very few athletes can say that. He has been extremely classy about the whole thing. It came down to two things: they knew that they needed another goaltender and the problem is that the free agent goaltenders the Blues were looking at were resigning with their teams. Chris Mason will solidify the back-up goaltender situation. Mason is a great guy in the locker room and community......The Blues will have all their young players in town today for the development camp which starts tomorrow……Davidson said that they feel like they will be successful with their two highly touted young players in Erik Johnson and Alex Pietrangelo ……He’s good in his own zone, can really skate, make plays with the puck moving it up to the forwards with quick passes. He is like a good quarterback who can find a different option to pass to if his first choice is covered……The Blues will give him every shot to make the team this year, but John said he thinks he needs to build his upper body and put 25 pounds on his frame…….The Blues had Basil McRae’s son rated higher on their board than where they got him. Phillip has tremendous upside and they had their eye on him for quite some time. Jake Allen really came on this past winter and won the award for most valuable goaltender in Europe at the World Championships…..John said they are happy with their draft. They tried to move up to have another top 10 pick in the first round to grab Chris Beach who went to Chicago but it didn’t work out……….In free agency, the Blues are going to look at their needs and see if they can make an intelligent move to help the team……..Davidson said they could trade their young players and make the playoffs this year, but they wouldn’t win the Stanley Cup so they would rather be patient and play with the young kids and get better each year with the goal of winning the Stanley Cup. They will try to make the playoffs this year, but they won’t do anything drastic to make them.



Leftover Riff Raff:
The phrase “boss” was popular in the “19 and 70s”……Cat had to break down the door to Martin’s basement one time to free the children……You don’t show a rabbit’s naughty bits on TV……The Communards are the perfect soundtrack for the show today…….Tim bets that the more popular topic today will be the Steven Jackson story instead of the Cardinals…… Doug busted Cat’s balls for not knowing much about technology and YouTube. …..A caller said that no matter what the Cat says, he is the greatest….Tim wondered who is putting tack hole in this pictures on the wall in the studio……Ronnie Belliard’s family was more excited to see Larry Walker than Ronnie Belliard…….Doug asked if the Blues can trade Pietrangelo because no one knows how to pronounce his name……

Friday Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Friday, June 20, 2008

HOUR 1:

Doug could not get in the door this morning because Cat heard him out there while he was shooting baskets and held the door shut for about 6 minutes, listening to Doug murmer…..That 6 minutes was the time Cat allotted to come up with exit poll questions.

Tim ate Golden Crisp with the bear on the front of the box this morning so he was ready for the bear early this morning.

The guys plan the show around Cindy Margolis…..She was a Price is Right girl, and the guys all said they liked Plinko except Doug. Doug liked when people could win “A NEW CAR!!!!”…..He misses Rod Roddy……Tim likes the Yodler game….Bob Barker is a member of Doug’s fraternity and one time they asked him for money and he sent them an autographed picture…….Lots of famous people went to Mizzou including Bob Barker, Brad Pitt, Sheryl Crow…..

Jim Edmonds sent Tim a text and ended it with LOL…..Cat got one from Mozeliak before that said LOL

Cat feels sorry for Brad Thompson being sent back down to Memphis because he pitched well last night and he’s a nice guy………The guys talk about Mark Mulder’s performance last night---6 runs in 3 innings…..Tim thinks its weird how in 15 days the Cards thought he may retire, he changed his arm slot, was rumored to pitch in the majors this week, and now had a start like last night.

The Blues traded Jamal Mayers late last night to Toronto for a 3rd round pick in today’s draft (70th overall)……..Cat wanted him to stay and the Blues didn’t even consult him…..The community will be upset that Cat never got to play Mayers in one on one basketball…..

When the guys start talking about the exit poll questions, Tim said the real question is if a golfer is an athlete on the same level as a boxer? You could make an argument that Tiger is the most dominant, but it depends how you define athlete…..Doug brings up people Tim has never heard of as one of the best athletes of all time (Dan Patch).



HOUR 2:

Window World Exit Poll:

1. Most dominant athlete of all time? Tim: Michael Jordan; Cat: Babe Ruth; Doug: Babe Ruth

2. Most memorable Cardinals playoff moment of the decade? Doug: Pujols’ HR in Houston;

3. Most overrated major leaguer? Doug: Derek Jeter; Cat: Johnny Damon; Tim: Johan Santana

4. Do you think A-B will sell to InBev and will you still buy A-B products? Doug: yes & yes; Tim: yes & yes; Cat: Cat: yes & yes

5. Susan Sarandon, would ya? Doug: no; Tim: yes; Cat: no

6. Best stripper song: Tim: Betty Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes; Doug: Brick house; Cat: Convoy

7. Which pizza do you buy with your $5? Pizza Hut, Dominoe’s, Little Caesar’s, or Papa John’s? Doug: Imo’s which isn’t one of the choices; Cat: Pizza Hut;



Andy Strickland called in to report that the Blues have traded a 4th round pick for back-up goaltender Chris Mason of Nashville Predators.


Jamal Mayers:
Jamal said it’s obviously a shock and he is disappointed but it’s part of the business……He found out after they made the deal……It doesn’t really soften the blow that it was Toronto he was traded to even though that is where he is from…..He said that he is disappointed that he won’t have a chance to win in St. Louis……No athlete has played in St. Louis for a longer period than Jamal……Mayers said he is going to miss all his friends here in the city and he is going to miss his teammates……The phone call with Larry Plaue was pretty short, and there isn’t much he could say except thanking Jamal for what he did for the city……Cat said that of all the athletes who have given Cat a concussion, Jamal is his favorite……Jamal said that his favorite memory would be winning a playoff series with the team because there was nothing better than that….. He hasn’t really thought about how it will feel to play against the Blues.



HOUR 3:

Brad Straubinger of FSN Midwest called in to defend his list of the Top 10 Playoff moments of the Cards, and Cat told him he was making it worse and should hire a PR guy if he ever worked for the big network and had to talk to a real radio show….Doug said maybe he should hire an accountant if he can’t figure out that 11 moments should have been called the Top 11 moments in Cards’ Playoffs this Decade….Tim won’t accept that the Molina HR and Wainwright strikeout of Beltran should count as one moment.


Cindy Margolis:
Cindy was chipper this morning and said she is always chipper…..Listeners could win a date with her if they go to Playboy.com and register…..She said she “wishes she was a slut”…….She said she wishes she could go back in time and take advantage of the opportunities on the “casting couch”…...Cindy said that the famous girls in Hollywood got the star roles (especially Bay Watch) because they went above and beyond on the casting couch…..She wants to enjoy being single and wants to go on a date with a gentleman…..She’s all for a long distance relationship……Doug is a very small man all over but he has a great personality, but she isn’t very interested in that.


The guys wonder how Nick and the Badger would handle that interview, and conclude that the Badger would win the date with her.

Doug’s big line in the retirement home is “Where are my shoes!?!”

Leftover Riff Raff:
Ryan Ludwick called Doug bi-curious yesterday…..Cat was doing show prep halfway through the first hour……..Producer Joe studies ring patterns when he calls someone…… Cat hopes that Cindy Margolis big times the show……The Morning After is the Larry Sutton of sports talk radio shows……Betty Davis Eyes is the best stripper song……9 out of 10 Chinese Buffets have a sign that says “No Wasting”.……Blues fans have one person to blame for the Mayers trade----Tim McKernan…….Cat said Doug is like a 70 year old man because he won’t accept the multiple choice answers…..Cat keeps mocking old timer Doug and yells “where are my shoes?! Has anyone seen my shoes!?!.......Cat was going to ask Cindy if she wastes food at the Chinese Buffet so he could get some hate email.

Thursday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Thursday, June 19, 2008

HOUR 1:

Today is the day for Producer Joe to wear the beret in the clubhouse.

Bo Hart and Tim McKernan were born on the same day. “Bodie” is his real name, and he is still playing ball in some independent league because Cat called him to see if Bo could fill-in on FSN.

Cat’s wife was at Lush last night for A-B doing a promotion, and the guys wonder if she found another man. Cat took a shot at Doug and said that there aren’t raccoons and baby giraffes at his house tempting his wife.

Cat wishes he had the money to afford unlimited wings and fries at Show-Me’s.

Jim Edmonds is blowing off Tim’s text messages. Originally he said he would pay the entrance fee for the poker tournament, and come on the show as a guest, but he is now not responding to texts at all.

The guys talk about how disappointed people in St. Louis will be since Tiger Woods can’t play in the BMW tourney this year, and Cat pictured himself becoming friends with Tiger when he interviewed him…….Tim said that Iggy once got Tiger on a local show, and it took a while to hear the story from Iggy because he was outside smoking…… Finally, Iggy came back in, and he said that he pretended to be someone else when he called Tiger’s mom and she gave him Tiger’s cell number.

Mark McGwire hates Tiger Woods because he is friends with Billy Andrade and Tiger wouldn’t sign a golf ball for Billy…..Tiger owes Iggy a favor because back in 1998 he got Tiger an autographed Mark McGwire bat.

The guys talk about last night’s Cards game, and they said that Kansas City left fielder Jose Guillen won the game for the Royals with his defense and arm throwing runners out……Braden Looper pitched well last night----2 outings in a row now, which is a big deal for him because he has fluctuated each start---great and then horrible and then great all year.


HOUR 2:

Joel Goldberg:
Someone blogged in Kansas City that Joel looked irritated when Cat was giving him a hard time. The guy said that Joel shoud’ve beat Cat out, and Doug said he could do it because of his big hands…….Joel established a good relationship with Albert Pujols when he was in St. Louis, and Cat is jealous of that……Joel said incase Albert is listening----“Hi Albert, I love you.”……Pujols came on the Kansas City pre-game show last night…..One time Albert asked Joel if he wanted to buy his house in KC…..The guys think that Pujols likes Joel because he shook hands with him one time and realized how big his fingers are……Joel just works the baseball season so he will be off for around 6 months, and Doug said Joel could go down to Arkansas and soak his phalanges in the hot springs………The Royals are trying to develop their minor leagues because it isn’t where it should be with all the top draft picks they have had……The Royals are trying to change their losing culture.


Mike Shannon:
Mike said that there has been great pitching by all 4 guys the past 2 games, and Brad Thompson just gets it done whichever way the team needs him……Mike thinks that pitchers get hurt more often nowadays compared to the old days because the mound is lowered, pitchers are babied with pitch counts, and they aren’t ready physically or mentally…..Mike always asks people “are you as tough as your grandfather?” and everyone says of course not, and Mike said it’s because back in the day everything was tougher. Mike thinks changes need to be made in the minors, and guys should have high pitch counts when they are throwing well……Mike said that Chris Carpenter should shut it down and heal to be ready for 2009…..Chris Duncan has really performed in the past, and he needs to relax and be comfortable ………Television runs baseball now, and they want to see the Yankees vs. Mets; Cubs vs. White Sox, etc., but Mike thinks the other Interleague games be abolished…….Mike’s plan is to take care of today, and he will worry about tomorrow, tomorrow…..He usually gets 4 hours of sleep and takes naps throughout the day…….The doctor said to keep doing what he’s doing, and Mike told his doctor that if he knew what he did everyday, he wouldn’t say that.




HOUR 3:

Ryan Ludwick:
Ryan said it is a little early for him, but he has his starbucks and banana nut loaf in him and he is ready to go…..Ludwick said that they have to accept the injuries as part of the game and play hard….He pointed out that other teams have to deal with injuries too, and the Cubs may have lost Carlos Zambrano….Ryan said that in the back of his head he always thought he could play at this level, but being considered for the All-star game is surreal. It’s really been a dream come true. Everything is working out almost perfectly …..He said that the older you get in this game, you get less and less opportunities and he worried about never getting another shot when he was in the minors. He said he was very fortunate to be at the right place at the right time, and he enjoys coming to the ballpark everyday……It hurts not having Albert in the lineup because he is on base half the time he comes up to the plate by either walking or hitting doubles or home runs…..It’s been tough not having Wainwright, Pujols, and Molina…..Ludwick said he doesn’t think about how much money he makes. He used to think about it a lot when he was younger, and he thinks that hurt his performance because he put too much pressure on himself…..He said that money is great, but he goes out and plays like everyday like it’s his last…..Anytime you lose the first 2 games of a series, “it sucks.”…..Ryan said they can salvage the series today but they know they can’t win the series…..They have a rough stretch coming up with the Red Sox and Detroit but they have to play hard……


The guys talked about the Top 10 Cardinal Playoff Moments in this decade because FSN is going to have fans vote on the order of the moments: 


The 10 choices are: 

*2001 NLDS Matt Morris pitching performance
*2001 NLCS Edmonds HR in 12th
*2004 Edmonds catch
*2004 Rolen HR off Clemons
*Reggie Sanders’ grandslam
*Pujols HR off Lidge in Houston
*Taguchi HR 
*2006 Eckstein’s double
*2006 Wainwright striking out Inge to win World Series 
*2006 Molina HR and Wainwright striking out Carlos Beltran in New York


Tim said that the NLCS game 7 in 2006 against the Mets was one of the best game 7’s he’s ever seen.



Leftover Riff Raff:
Doug’s wife is not a furry……Suzanne Soranden is 61 years old and has claimed that she will move to Canada if John McCain is elected president…….The best person Joel has ever worked with is Cat…..Doug wants to get Joel some oven mitts as a parting gift…. The guys want to know why Tim doesn’t cook and clean and let his wife play in the poker tournament……..Cat said that Doug is bi-curious…..It will be a stretch for the show to crack the top 30 in ratings again……Everyone loves a slinky.

Wednesday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Wednesday, June 18, 2008

HOUR 1:

Big Boss man Tim gave Producer Joe the ok to wear a Beret in the locker room Thursday if the Cards win, and the guys think it might even be better if the team loses….The guys wonder which players would embrace the beret and which ones would be freaked out by it. They don’t think Ryan Franklin would like it.

Cat has seen a lot walking into the studio in the morning including rats, homeless people and puddles of urine, but this morning he saw a fully cooked, unconsumed baked potato…..LaRussa needs to put Cat in the two hole for power. Last night, the Cat tripped a bunch of Royals players when his wireless microphone went out and had to use one with a real long cord for the post-game interview.

Brendan Ryan read the starting lineups as Robert DeNiro on Fox Saturday so Cat made him do an impersonation on the pre-game show last night, and Ryan also did an impersonation of Johnny Carson… Ryan was worried about getting in trouble, but Cat kept encouraging him to do it. Everyone was watching it in the Clubhouse, and gave him grief for it.

Cat suggests everyone to watch the movie: Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired. He was originally accused of rape from dating an underage girl, and then the charges were lessoned and instead of fighting all the legal battles, he moved to France and became a legend.

The B-52s were on TV the other day, and the band was wearing the same stuff they always wore back in the day. The must be in their 50’s…..Cat said “Love Cat” instead of “Love Shack.”

Jemele Hill has been suspended from writing for ESPN.com and from on-air duties on ESPN…..She wrote that “rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim or that you wanted Gorbechov to reach the little red button before Reagan”……Cat said that the suspension is unwarranted, and Doug agreed……Hill’s suspension came when radio host Fred Toucher branded her a hypocrite because of her attack on Don Imus when he went after the Rutgers women’s basketball team……Tim doesn’t think Imus or Hill should’ve been suspended but he thinks Imus’ comment was worse.


HOUR 2:

Cindy Margolis is now divorced and in Playboy this month. She was once the most downloaded woman in America, and now she is doing a radio tour. She is finding trouble getting dates so there is a contest where you can win a date with her at the Playboy Mansion…..She said she regrets not taking advantage of more casting couches to get further in Hollywood.

The guys wonder what the song “turning Japanese” means and “tig bitty” calls in to say it means pullin on your wanker because it slants your eyes after a while.



Mike Shannon:
The guys had trouble reaching Mike Shannon----guests who don’t come on are sponsored by U-Gas.

The guys try to name the American Film Institute list of Top 10 Sports movies:
Doug and Cat guess a lot of movies that aren’t on the list.

1. Raging Bull
2. Rocky
3. Pride of the Yankees
4. Hoosiers
5. Bull Durham
6. The Hustler
7. Caddyshack
8. Breaking Away
9. National Velvet (from 1944)
10. Jerry Maguire


Top 10 Epics:
1. Lawrence of Arabia
2. Ben Hur
3. Schindler’s List
4. Gone with the Wind
5. Spartacus
6. Titanic
7. All Quiet on the Western Front
8. Saving Private Ryan
9. Reds
10. The 10 Commandments


Cat said to impersonate people from the old days you have to add “I tell ya” after everything you say…….Cat said if he went back in time, and people said “blah blah blah, I tell ya,” Cat would tell them “yeah I know you just told me.”

Tim is still hoping that Jim Edmonds pays $10,000 for him to play in the big poker tournament. Tim felt bad because the tournament starts on July 3, which is his anniversary, but his wife said to go for it……The guys say maybe Tim’s wife should get a second job to help pay for it or maybe he should ask his real dad Joe Theisman for some money.


HOUR 3:

John Mabry:
John hangs out with Jason Isringhausen a lot, and Jason is getting back into the groove and will come back…..John said he is the driver, cook, pool man, …..Cat said that FSN is looking at Mabry as a potential host, and John said he is interested in it but the timing isn’t great right now because he is enjoying being dad……John said that his wife doesn’t like the show as much lately, and Doug said that he has been sick so maybe that’s why. John said that really his wife does love to listen everyday though and he doesn’t know why…..John said that radio hosts can know absolutely nothing about what they are talking about but people think they know everything……Mabry said that he isn’t surprised at how well the Cardinals have done because he knows Tony and with Pujols, Molina, and the young guys fighting for at-bats, they would all work hard to win games…..John played for a bunch of different teams and knows “everyone” so when people ask who he roots for, he says the guys he knows so basically “everyone.”…… Mabry said he can’t narrow down the best moment for him on the Cardinals, and he names off a bunch of different memories including Pujols’ home run in Houston, Brian Jordan’s home run off Trevor Hoffman in San Diego, Mark McGwire’s home run chase….The 2004 team had the best chance to win everything except for the injuries, but with the way the Red Sox beat the Yankees they were on such a roll they steamrolled the Cards…….Doug brought up that Mabry has a horrible ERA when he had to come in and pitch, and John said that he should’ve gotten out of the inning but someone botched a ground ball.


John Mabry’s wife called in and said that she doesn’t get a chance to listen as much because John has taken over carpool duties. She does like the show, and likes listening when she can.


John Mozeliak:
John was another late scratch because he is going to visit all of the minor league teams in the Cardinals’ organization and he had to fly this morning…..John’s absence was sponsored by Bail Bonds companies----“when a guest doesn’t show up we bail you out,” Doug said.


Leftover Riff Raff:
Doug doesn’t want to be reincarnated as a dung beetle…..It would be frowned upon to walk into Senor Julio’s with Qdoba food……Irish people don’t like it when people talk bad about potatoes……The Big Z has lived the life and Hugh Hefner is second…..Tony Curtis keeps being brought up on the show today….The ratings for the show are under the weather just like Doug…. The “tin roof is rusty” means a girl got pregnant.

Tuesday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Tuesday, June 17, 2008

HOUR 1:

Cat is in a great mood today, and he wants to thank whoever made a back for the pop-a-shot machine to keep the basketballs from going all over the floor everyday…..Cat is also happy because there is in fact an afternoon game this Thursday so there is an opportunity for Producer Joe to wear his beret in the locker room.

Cat talked to Joel Goldberg yesterday and he thought that Joel would come on the show today but he is going to be on the Fox Hole this afternoon……..Cat didn’t see his hands because he was on the phone……Doug said there is a lot more room in the studio for Joel during the Fox Hole because his hands are so big and there are 3 hosts in the morning.

Doug said that the professional stadiums in St. Louis have saved the downtown area. The stadiums in Kansas City are outside the city, and they don’t have anything to do downtown…..St. Louis was probably the worst downtown city in America before the stadiums were built downtown.

Travis made the worst call ever in the history of Tim McKernan hosting radio.

“Mary the carpet muncher” called in to say she is happy with the developments in California yesterday, and the lesbian kiss picture on the web is of two women who have been together for more than 50 years. One is 87 and the other is 84. Mary said that she would like to get married if she got the same benefits that other married couples have…..
“Everybody used to be gay but then the feminist movement changed that, and now people like to be referred to as lesbians, trans-gender”……St. Louis has a huge lesbian per capita….Gay people are moving out of the CWE, and they are moving to Tower Grove and Soulard. Novak’s is the lesbian epicenter of St. Louis…..Cat has been in Atomic Cowboy and it looked like there were some softball players in there…….Cat wants Tim to consider having a WNBA night as one of his events……1 of the 8 listeners of the Morning After is gay so around 12% of the listeners.


HOUR 2:

Peter Kessler of XM Radio:
Peter said the rejoin song was the worst song he has ever heard……There has only been 3 one hole playoff finishes in US Open history…..Kessler said the match this weekend was one of the most incredible wins of Tiger’s career. Tiger hasn’t gotten past the pain stage of his recovery so his knee hasn’t been able to start healing. Peter doesn’t expect to see Tiger compete at the BMW Championship in St. Louis because of the injury……. Some surgeons believe that Tiger will need to have reconstructive surgery.

The guys wonder if it is bad for Tiger to win all the time because when he can’t play in an event it is almost second class because everyone wants to see him.



Nic Richie of TheDirty.com:
The guys talk to Nic about the checks from Marcus and Brian Giles that he has on his website that they paid hookers in spring training. Nic said he has proof that the checks he posted on his website are for services because he got them from a “pimp.”…..Brian Giles fell in love with the girl and has moved her out of that industry and she lives with him now…..On the St. Louis page of TheDirty.com, the D-Bag is named “Tatuouche”…… Luis Gonzalez will be the next player to be featured on the website either this week or next week….Nic said that it’s illegal and immoral for these players to be using prostitutes when they have a wife and kids…..It blows his mind that players have to go that route because they should just be able to sit in a bar…..Nic said that he hasn’t had any other problems with Kobe recently, and the Lakers have done a great job of making the cheerleader in question disappear.

Doug said that there are ads for escorts all over the website so he doesn’t understand how Nic can out people who are using what he is advertising.

Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner is upset that his top pitcher Chien Ming Wang got hurt running the bases in Interleague Play. “The National League needs to grow up and join the 21st century,” said Hank Steinbrenner. He said it’s always a concern of American League teams because the pitchers shouldn’t have to worry about running the bases.


HOUR 3:

WWE Wrestling Recap:
Doug has maintained for years that instant replay is needed in professional wrestling….The guys play a clip of Vince McMahon trying to give away more money, but the guy didn’t answer his phone when he called…..Vince left a message “sorry, you had a chance to win $50,000 buddy but you blew it because you weren’t watching.”….. Doug wants to know how much people paid for tickets to watch Vince make phone calls.

Tim contacted Jim Woodcock to ask him about what Peter Kessler said about Tiger probably not coming to St. Louis---he’ll be in St. Louis only if he’s coming on vacation to hang out with (the show). Woodcock emailed Tim back and said that Tiger’s participation in the media day last month points to the fact that he will be participating in the event. Woodcock also pointed out that Tiger won the event in 2007 and he usually defends his championships.


Kyle Lohse:
Kyle said he was expecting to have a good season like this and things have been going great….The Cardinals haven’t really had many talks with him about extending his contract yet, but he said that he would be open to hearing what they have to say…..Kyle said he would like to stay but there is a business side too, and everything would have to work out. It has been an all around good experience, and he agrees with the Cat that the best part of playing in St. Louis is being about to go on the FSN pre-game show……Dave Duncan simplifies his approach out there and gives him a game plan. Kyle will tell Dave what he says after watching video, and Dave either agrees or disagrees and they come up with a game plan to exploit weaknesses of the other team….. Lohse said he can’t really change his mentality because Wainwright or Pujols are out. He has to go out and try to pitch well every time out…..Pitching in the All-Star game is not up to him so all he can do is keep going out there and pitching like he has been doing. He said the main focus for him is to keep winning……. The team doesn’t care how people view them or who they are playing because they go out and play to win and have great chemistry. Kyle said you don’t need chemistry to win, but it helps and makes everything more fun…..He was drafted in 1996. Kyle said in the minors he went 3-18 in AA, and the rough part was that he was 3-4 and lost 14 in a row. However, he kept going out there and working hard and actually made it to the majors the following year…..Kyle said he usually hangs out with other starting pitchers and they all go golfing together…..He isn’t sure how Todd Wellemeyer is feeling and isn’t sure if he will make his next start or not… Kyle said that Brendan Ryan is going to have to look somewhere else if Brendan thinks that he will be his mall buddy.



Leftover Riff Raff:
Cat is going to sell his “Gun Smoke” memorabilia so he can help buy A-B…..People are so excited upon actually winning “wingy wingy” that they actually spontaneously combust……Michael Bolton is like Barry Manilow in terms of everyone says they hate him but he sells millions of cds each time they come out…..The way to dance to the Communards is to slow dance cheek to cheek and beard to beard…… Edmonds wanted to come on the show when Cat was out of town….Doug did “the sprinkler” to the Communards rejoin music….Guests who don’s show up can be sponsored by U-Gas.

Monday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Monday, June 16, 2008

HOUR 1:

Tony LaRussa and Jose Oquendo were thrown out Friday night in the Cardinals loss to the Phillies. Russ Springer was immediately tossed after hitting Ryan Howard, and Tony went berserk. Then the Phillies threw behind Brendan Ryan and no one was ejected so Oquendo went nuts and got thrown out…..The Cards got outscored by 16 runs in this series, but still won the series…..Kansas City is coming to town next which means Joel Goldberg is coming with his meaty fingers. When Joel first came to FSN, they had to make a special mic “shaft” for him because he couldn’t hold a normal microphone….Cat said usually the Royals have a little success in the beginning of the year and everyone says the Royals have some good young players, but after a month they are garbage.

The US Open was unbelievable television.

Girls really dug Peter Frampton’s style…..His music reminded Doug of his college days when he drank bong water. Tim said that the bitches dug his style…..Doug is off from TV today, and he will watch the US Open today if he has a chance, but he has to go to a funeral…..Tim is going to have to watch the US Open at 3pm, and doesn’t want anyone to tell him the results before he sees it…..Kosher potato salad is God’s potato salad…..Doug will be the 70 year-old man in the diner complaining about the soup. “Ahh it’s too cold; send it back!”…..

Cat is growing all kinds of hair all over……Doug said if Jason LaRue can shave his legs, Cat can shave his arms so they don’t have to see all his hair…..Doug has no hormones so he doesn’t have any hair growing all over….Cat said he has a 5 o’clock shadow 20 minutes after he shaves….The guys think Doug should interview LaRussa with a Channel 4 halter top on.

Cat doesn’t want laser hair removal because he thinks it would be a waste of time because he isn’t doing a photo shoot…..Who would be in a calendar titled “Jews of St. Louis?” Skip Irwin, Jason Marquis, Dave Greene, and the Cat are the only people they can think of…..Cat pictures Dave wearing a singlet and himself on a lounge with 2 cupcakes wearing a fireman’s hat…..



HOUR 2:

The guys agree that the US Open playoff will be very exciting today…..Doug wonders if Tiger feels pressure to win like the guys who play against him feel pressure to beat him…..The guys think Tiger is the best golfer who ever lived already even though he hasn’t won 18 majors like Jack Nicklaus yet.

Tim Russert is one guy who can’t be replaced…..Bruce Springsteen dedicated his concert to Russert…..Walter Cronkite should still be the CBS news anchor according to Doug….. Tim said he is sincerely down about it……The guys think his death is bothersome to people because he was so likeable, and the death was out of nowhere…..Doug said he misses Jack Buck a lot and he still misses Johnny Carson every night.

Joe Strauss:
Joe said that poker is more important than this show…..Cat said “someone” had a very nice win on the road…..Yadi was expected to be released this morning. Joe thinks there will have to be a move to bring up a catcher from Memphis, and it will probably be Mark Johnson…..Todd Wellemeyer might miss a start Thursday, so the guys talk about who may start, and Joe said that Mark Mulder won’t be the guy. Tony LaRussa said Mulder needs one more start before he pitches in the majors…..Anytime you have a catcher hurt and don’t put him on the DL, it creates a lot of problems because you have to add someone to the 40 day roster…….Before Mark Mulder was dropping hints that he was done, and that if he had to have surgery, he was going to walk away. Now Joe thinks that Mulder will start at least a couple times for the Cardinals since Mark has changed his delivery and has new confidence……He’s had this makeover in less than a month, so it’s hard to say how effective he will be. It’s one thing to change your delivery and be successful in Springfield or Memphis and be effective in the big leagues…..Joe thinks that Tony doesn’t want to put Izzy in any tough situations yet……Joe said it’s not good that Chris Carpenter suffered a setback. Joe said he was surprised that Carpenter was throwing as hard as he was when he first started throwing, but it seemed like the team and Carp thought he as fine. Joe said he thinks Carp will be ready for spring training next season, but he is wondering if Carp will be able to come back in 2008…..Flores is kind of lost mechanically right now, and the team needs him to pitch well right now because of the situation in the bullpen…..Anthony Reyes pitched very well yesterday, but all that matters is how the Club views the performance……Joe thinks the Cubs are the best team in the league, but people shouldn’t worry about winning the division because the Cards are first in the Wild Card by 4 games. Once you get to the Playoffs it doesn’t matter how many games the Cubs win. To be 8-0-1 in the last 9 series with all the stuff they have dealt with, that’s impressive. You cannot deny what the Cardinals are doing, and they are playing for each other and buying into what Tony is saying, which is huge.


Tim said one time there was a dog in his garage, and he freaked out….. A big problem in North County is big packs of dogs roaming free…..Doug’s neighbors found a 5 foot black snake next to his house and they kept it as a pet….Doug is deathly afraid of snakes….Jim said he’d rather find a snake than a raccoon….



HOUR 3:

The Royals series would be a good time to get the beret thing done…..Doug said that Producer Joe should wear a beret to take people’s attention off of Joel Goldberg’s meaty fingers……There are no day games for a while because of the summer heat…..All Cat wants to see is Joe walk in with a beret and a recorder.

Doug said he watched the NBA game last night to see the referees are cheating…..There is a new theory on Deadspin.com that the only reason the 7 game series is 2-3-2 in terms of home games, is so the series goes at least 6 games…..It would be really hard to beat the Celtics in Boston……Buzz Bissenger was at the Cards’ game yesterday.

Kyle Lohse was supposed to join the show but didn’t answer so the guys have time to talk about St. Gabriel’s picnic…..Producer Joe is an outsider, but he liked the picnic. He lost $15 playing Chuck-a-Luck….He found a new way to eat a hot dog because they ran out of hotdog buns. They gave him a hamburger bun so he cut the hotdog in half and put some cheese on it…..They ran out of beer at 9pm which ticked off Tim….Tim’s mom thought they ran out of beer to keep people from drinking too late at night….Producer Joe became great friends with the neighbors and came back with a cigar. Joe wasn’t drunk till about 1am.....


Hurricane Mark is about 45-46 and he follows the Hurricane ride around at different school picnics and rides it all day….Hurricane Mark lived behind Tim and used to bring his mom a pineapple every year for her birthday. The pineapple was from Schnucks and he would stand there and say “the Friendliest Stores in Town.”

Cat loves going to high end clubs, and his favorite is Plush, which is the new club that opened next to Lush…..Doug said that Cat loves to dance.



Leftover Riff Raff:

By the end of the game Friday night, Calvin May was in charge in the dugout…..Tiger’s Buick minivan is already paid off……Tim is concerned about his own gender so he has to talk about Bruce Springsteen pulling “a guy” up on stage with him when it was really Courtney Cox……Tim bet $1 on Chuck-a-Luck, won, and shut it down…..They shut down Wet Willie’s water park a long time ago…...Doug said you really can’t beat Lemay as the hoosier capital….Cat said that the chat session was better than having Kyle Lohse join the show……Cat said if you put ketchup on a hotdog you would stab a friend in the back.

Friday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Friday, June 13, 2008

HOUR 1:

The Cat is back today, but Jay is back filling in for Tim…..The show started late today because Doug spilled a diet coke on the console…..Doug said he got here 20 minutes before 7am and couldn’t get in. Once he did get in all the lights were off and there was national programming on so Doug thought the station had been sold, but everyone was just running late……Doug made up some exit poll questions because no one else was there till the show started, and the guys make fun of his questions because they are about hockey……..Cat got into the airport after midnight, and his alarm didn’t go off this morning…..Cat’s dog is named Sprewell after Latrell when he played for the Knicks….. Edmonds may pay for Tim to play in the big Poker Tournament.

Cards almost snuck one out last night but got suspect pitching from the bullpen….Pineiro pitched pretty well for being out for a while….Worrell will be the most likely to be sent down when Izzy is ready to go, which should be very soon……Jason LaRue likes to wear camouflage and represent his Texas hunting history. Cat told Jason that he heard he shaves his legs, and Jason didn’t walk away. Cat said he wasn’t scared to ask him about it, but when Jason said he shaved his legs to get in touch with his feminine side Cat ended the interview.

Doug went to the all time most boring little league game in his life. The strike zone was the size of a postage stamp. The game lasted 2 and a half hours and only went around 5-6 innings…..When the coach of Doug’s son’s team yelled at the ump, the ump walked over to where the coach was standing and told Doug’s son to pitch the ball…..The umpire called a ball from standing actually over where the coach was standing and said that the view looks the same from over there…..Doug yelled to his son to throw the ball over the plate and said that he was yelling at him because he is a middle aged man who doesn’t know any better than to try to live his dreams through his son because he failed.



HOUR 2:

Cat loves The Batting Cage and Big Z.

The guys roll 6 deep on Exit Poll Friday:

1. Who would you like to see as Pujols regular replacement? Doug: Mather/Duncan platoon; Jay: Mather alone; Cat: Mather/Duncan platoon

2. Who would you rather play a round of golf with----Tiger or John Daley? Jay: Tiger; Doug: Daley because he would be more fun; Cat: Tiger

3. Which would you rather be----Rock Star, Movie Star, or Athlete? Doug: Movie Star; Jay: Movie Star; Cat: Movie Star

4. What’s the most embarrassing part of Tim McKernan’s life? Doug: his father has gotten him all of his jobs; Jay: the message board is messed up for him; Cat: Edmonds might

5. Hulk Hogan’s ex Linda Hogan, would ya? Doug: no because he doesn’t want Hulk to get mad and clamp those pythons around my neck; Jay: yes because Big Z would protect him from Hulk; Cat: no because he is happily married.

6. What’s the worst part of oversleeping? Doug: if you can’t get a shower before you leave; Cat: the panic feeling when you wake up and you don’t know where you are, and you look over to see if the Communards are right next to you; Jay: having to deal with more people when you have to explain why you are late.


Tina Mickelson:
Phil Mickelson's sister joined the guys to discuss the US Open. 40,000 people trying to follow the trio, it was mayhem…..She has never been to another tournament where it has been that crowded…..It was like being at a big football game…..Phil is known for turning it on for the back nine….Even though he was 3-over, he looked better than 3-over, and to finish at par was a good day…..Tina said you can’t worry about what everyone else is doing, and you have to play the golf course…..Phil is getting reads on the green for at least an hour per green before the tournament so he has a plan for which clubs to use beforehand…..Phil loves playing with Tiger. The amount of intensity Tiger brings to the round is incredible. There is a fun, competitiveness between the two of them…..Tina knows the golf course out there and she thinks the winning score will be close to even par…..Tina said that she would be thrilled to see Stuart Appleby win if Phil doesn’t.


Just for once Doug wants to see a pro tournament where everyone can yell at each other.



HOUR 3:

The guys take a lot of Exit Poll calls this hour.

Tim did not finish in the top 2 last night in the poker tournament so the guys were bummed out because the show was supposed to go to Vegas with him….Cat said Tim should take the $10,000 entrance fee from Jim Edmonds and just pretend like he plays in the tournament.

The Celtics were down by 24 at one point, and Doug thought it was over. However the Celtics didn’t believe it was over and came back which was the most important thing to Jay. Cat thought they would hit a wall at some point because of the age of their superstars…..It’s the perfect scenario for the NBA to bring some fans back to the game. It’s not the same type of match-ups like the old Celtics/Lakers games, but defense has been winning out….The guys agree that the easiest professional sport to fix is the NBA because you can have so many no calls, and there could be a foul on every play…..Doug said the league has a serious issue on their hands, and Jay said he doesn’t know how it all got swept under the rug so easily last year….Doug can’t let it go that the Atlanta Hawks beat the Celtics 3 times in the playoffs this year.

Brad Lidge has been virtually unhittable this year, and the best thing for him has been the change of scenery. Lidge has to be happy that he won’t face Albert Pujols in this series….The guys wonder what will happen if he ever blows a big save again.


Leftover Riff Raff:
Doug saw a hitchhiker this morning and said he hasn’t seen one in years….Andy Strickland has girly wrists with a big Reactor Watch on…….Tiger’s Caddie drives him around in the Buick…..Cat’s wife got $15 million for appearing in that movie…..Rudy used to hunt and eat raccoons……The worst part of oversleeping is going into your kitchen and seeing the Communards’ bass player making eggs in his boxers……Jay Jr’s knowledge of golf is sick……..Cat loves Jay and thinks at some point they should get a cottage together in New Hampshire….. Jay has missed a show before when he was hammered in Augusta and passed out on his bed.

Thursday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Thursday, June 12, 2008

HOUR 1:


Jay Jr. fills in for the Cat again, and in the first segment they talk about the US Open starting today. St. Louisan Bob Gaus tees off this afternoon….Jay Jr. isn’t picking Tiger to win a Major for the first time in 10 years.

The guys talk about how great the Cardinals are playing without their best players….Jason LaRue, who hit a home run, loves that ballpark in Cincy. Braden Looper is so up and down with his performances….. The bullpen was able to relax last night and play Golden Tee because of Looper’s complete game shutout. Rick Ankiel and Ryan Ludwick also homered, and the Cards won 10-0.

Alfonso Soriano broke his left hand last night when he was hit by a pitch, and he will be out around 6 weeks……Maybe Jim Edmonds will play everyday now. Edmonds went 1-4 last night with 3 strikeouts and 4 texts.

Texas Rangers DH Milton Bradley left the club house after hearing a “mischaracterization” of himself on the radio play by play of a game in progress to confront the announcer Ryan Lefebvre…..How much would you pay to see a player march up 4 flights of stairs in his uniform and cleats and put the announcer in a headlock?……No one would mess with Big Irish Mike Shannon…..

Matt Strelo confirmed that Wayne Hagin took down a professional pitcher in the locker room one time…..Hagin is now a radio broadcaster for the Mets.

Tim is very emotional about the St. Gabriel picnic….He has been in the parade a few times…..The SLU High frowns on Tim for his pee pee talk but still asks him for his money.

Hulk Hogan was on Larry King, and things are a bit difficult in the Hogan household. His son Nick was behind the wheel in a horrific car crash that has his passenger in the hospital…..Brooke Hogan is upset that her mother Linda is dating someone 29 years younger than she is. Her mom’s boyfriend was a year younger than Brooke in school.
You couldn’t look much better than Christie Brinkley when you’re in your 50s……


HOUR 2:


Tim explains the games, including Chuck a Luck, at a school picnic, and Jay had no idea that they were like that……St. Joan of Arc is the south-side Lumiere Casino….Tim is such a hoosier, he used to wake up on Sundays and watch wrestling and then he would go bowling at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church.


Jim Cat Hayes:
Cat sounds like he just woke up, but says he has been awake for awhile because he was told he would be on the segment before this one…..Braden Looper will give you a really good outing, then a few that will be awful. It was surprising how well he pitched last night, especially throwing a complete game in under 100 pitches…..Looper is also hitting .385, which is remarkable. The guys talk about the Cards pitchers working on hitting in their extra time…..Yesterday at the ballpark seemed like any other game---it didn’t seem like the team was without Pujols, and everybody was upbeat. Cat said he credits LaRussa for his approach and getting the players ready to play no matter what…...Ryan Ludwick’s All-Star bid is gaining momentum….Other guys in the clubhouse are amazed at what Ryan is doing. Ludwick said that he doesn’t look at his numbers and just tries to look forward, and he is happy that he is healthy……Cat thinks that Pujols won’t be back till after the All-Star game, and Mozeliak said he isn’t looking to make a move yet to get another bat in here. The team will do a reevaluation of Wainwright’s sprain next week and see how serious it is…..LaRussa said Pujols’ injury is better than it could’ve been, but it’s never good to be without your star…..Cat watched Mark Mulder’s side session from afar, and Dave Duncan and LaRussa were visibly excited about his performance….. Al Hrabosky showed the Cat the text he got from Jim Edmonds, and he actually got more than one. Jim also asked Al to say hi to Walt Jocketty for him.


Maxim’s 10 Worst Broadcaster list:

1. Chris Berman
2. Chip Caray
3. Joe Morgan
4. Dick Vitale
5. Bryant Gumbel
6. Bill Walton
7. Billy Packer
8. Mike Patrick
9. Walt Frazier
10. John Madden


HOUR 3:


Mitchell Boggs:
Mitchell Boggs joked that he has been awake for 4 hours already…..It helped him to get the relief appearance before making the start……Mitchell has not been to the 40 Watt Club---where REM started, which surprises Jay…..There’s nothing like going to a game between the hedges…..Boggs grew up a Georgia Bulldog….Mitchell has never liked using a comb---“it just seems to fall into place”……..He played football for a season at Tennessee Chattanooga….Mitchell is looking forward to facing the Phillies’ lineup, and he knows he is going to have to go out and do the best he can and do well with his opportunities…..It made it easier to adjust to the big leagues because there are so many young guys called up already….Boggs isn’t into hunting as much as the bullpen guys. Those guys are really into it.


Mark Carnevale:
1992 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year Mark Carnevale joined the guys and he thinks the winner of the US Open will come down to Tiger or Phil Mickelson, or Sergio Garcia…..The only difference between now and February is that the greens will be firmer. You really have to have control of your ball as you approach the fairway. Players have said that they think the USGA has done a great job of setting this course up…..Mark thinks that Tiger and Phil respect each other. They each have a drive to win, and they were paired before one other time in 2006….Mark isn’t sure if he likes how the top 3 in the world were paired together….This is the longest course in US Open history at 7643 yards, but that shouldn’t bother the guys…..They shaved down the front of the Par 5 Hole 18 so balls will be going into the drink if they aren’t hit very well onto the green.

Manuel Uribe of Monterrey Mexico who once weighed 1235 pounds, has lost about 550 pounds in the past 2 years using a steady diet. Uribe has not been able to leave the house for 6 years….Uribe says his weight problem started when he had moved to the United States years ago and ate a lot of candy and junk food.

The woman who claimed she had pictures of Oscar de LaHoya in lingerie has dropped her lawsuit against him since her pictures have been deemed fake by an expert.



Leftover Riff Raff:
Celebrity Circus was on last night and Wee man from Jack Ass was on the show…… It’s not a medical reason for the hoosier kid in class to be wearing shades…..When the Great Kabooki wrestler would spit his green mist in your eyes, your only hope was to flail your arms wildly trying to punch him but you couldn’t see him…..Cat said that LaRussa’s approach is to pretend Pujols is still in the lineup……Al Gore is in the mix to be Obama’s VP…..Cat got teary eyed talking about how much he misses the guys….. Producer Joe has probably ruined the hedges by passing out in them….It’s too early to make Michael Devlin jokes…..Tim gets a workout from Wii boxing at 5am

Wednesday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Wednesday, June 11, 2008

HOUR 1:
Jay Jr. fills in again today for the Cat who is with the Cardinals in Cincinnati…..The guys talk about Albert Pujols getting injured last night, and the wonder how long he will be out….Barry Bonds is brought up as a possible replacement, and the guys wonder if the Cards should go after someone like Barry or if the team could trade for a big bat…There is no word on exactly how long Pujols will be out though so the guys aren’t sure if anything needs to be done yet besides the platoon of Chris Duncan and Joe Mather at first…..Nick Stavinoha is tearing it up, and Doug wonders if they can bring him up to play in the outfield and see what he can do up here……. The guys take calls about what listeners would do to replace Pujols at first.

The guys get to what Dave Duncan said yesterday on the show about how the media has irritated him in their coverage of Chris. He said he doesn’t think Chris was treated equally…….After the show, Tim called Dave Duncan because Producer Joe said he was pretty upset after the interview because he said he didn’t know he would be asked about Chris…..Tim talked to him for about 20 minutes, and Tim thinks what really made Duncan mad was Bernie’s column…..Tim said he asked Dave why doesn’t he explain why he is upset and share his side, but Dave said he doesn’t want to bring more attention to the situation---even though a couple callers have already said on the show this morning that the only reason Chris is being called back up is because his dad is a coach.



HOUR 2:
The guys wonder if Al Hrabosky was serious or not when he said Jim Edmonds sent him a text last night in the 9th inning of the Cards’ game. Dan McLaughlin made a joke about how old Russ Springer is and a little later Al said that Edmonds sent him a text that said Springer won’t like the joke….When Tim heard that Edmonds sent the text, he checked ESPN.com and saw that the Cubs were still playing so he sent Jim a text saying it’s great that he was watching the Cards game while the Cubs were still playing.

Bill DeWitt:
Bill said it was rough watching Albert get carried off the field last night, but they won’t know how serious it is till he gets evaluated in St. Louis…….Bill said that Barry Bonds has never been discussed as a possible Cardinal, and he is not in the picture…….DeWitt said it is fun to see young guys contributing and not having veterans block them from playing in the big leagues. Three young pitchers who are all around 23 years of age played very well against a very tough team to beat at home last night…..Bill thinks transition is a better word for this season than rebuilding because they knew they had talent to replace the veterans who had been with the team….He said that by transition he means the average age of the players coming down, not that they wouldn’t be competitive……Bill said they will consider anything to improve their club, but at this point they really don’t know what the situation is with Pujols, and he doesn’t really want to fool with the success of the young players who have been getting opportunities to play……On making a move at the trade deadline, Bill said they’ve always thought that if they feel there is a difference maker out there and there is value financially they will make a move……The Dave Matthews concert was executed well, and they had no real problems. Bill said having concerts at the ballpark is good for the city and the ballpark….He thinks having a concert or two each year can be a good thing…..Buying the Bowling Hall of Fame was important for the Cardinals in building Ballpark Village because they have that land in the plans for development.

Tim Donaghy’s attorney sent a letter stating that the NBA encouraged refs to help fix the outcome of games so that more favorable match-ups would face each other in the playoffs and playoff series would last longer……Tim referred to Game 6 in 2002 between the Lakers and Sacramento Kings as a game that the refs called an inordinate amount of fouls against the Kings in the 4th quarter because they wanted to extend the series to a game 7….Scott Pollard, who fouled out in that game, was quoted yesterday as saying, “I knew it. There was something wrong with that game.”….Jay Jr. is amazed at how the NBA has made it thus far without really being scathed by the scandal.



HOUR 3:
Jimmy “the Cat” Hayes:
Jim loves going out in Cincinnati and partying it up, but after the injury, he just went back to the hotel…..Cat talked to Albert in Houston after he didn’t start those games in Washington and Pujols said that he is 40%. Cat told him that most players wouldn’t play if they were 50%, so he asked LaRussa what he thought and he said that Albert was probably right…….Pujols left and went back to the hotel before the game was finished. Cat said he thinks Pujols’ injury looks pretty serious because if you heard the post-game interview with LaRussa, he said that Pujols is destined for the DL, which is different from his usual stance of not commenting much till they know what the injury is…… Mozeliak basically said that Duncan was coming up before the Pujols injury yesterday so Cat thinks Duncan will be coming up for sure, and he thinks Joe Mather will probably be sent down. He hasn’t heard Adam Kennedy’s name being thrown around at all….. LaRussa, Duncan, and Mozeliak were all there earlier than normal yesterday so they could watch the injured pitchers throw before the game…..Wellemeyer should make the start on Saturday and said that he didn’t think there was anything seriously wrong with him anyway……Cat said the locker room after the game was a bit somber because everybody was so worried about Pujols…..The Cardinals were worried about last night’s starter Mitchell Boggs’ off-speed pitches, but he threw his change-up yesterday a few times and got a strikeout with one. Boggs said having that 2 inning session out of the bullpen the other day helped keep him calm in his first start……Cat was wondering if the Cubs were playing last night when Hrabosky said that Edmonds sent him a text and said he will try to find out today if there really was a text sent.

Bernie Miklasz:
Bernie’s initial reaction last night was “uh-oh, there goes the season,” but he said that hopefully the injury isn’t as bad as feared……Pujols hasn’t been fully healthy in years so it isn’t practical to sit him out of games like people have been complaining they should do….Bernie said it has worked playing him till now so it would be unfair to dump on LaRussa…..Bernie said that he doesn’t know who would be available for the Cardinals to go out and get to fill in for Pujols, but he said he doesn’t really get why Chris Duncan would be called up because of his poor hitting in the minors except that they want to get a left-handed bat in the lineup against all the right-handed pitchers they have coming up…..

The guys played the clip from Dave Duncan yesterday about the media being unfair about Chris, and Bernie said he thinks it’s bizarre and he has no idea what Dave is talking about….Tim said he thinks it all stems from the Cardinals over reaction to Bernie’s one line in his column, and Bernie said that LaRussa talked to him about it and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Bernie said that Dave needs to treat his son like any other player too if he wants everybody else to treat him like any other player because Bernie has heard that Hal McRae doesn’t work much with Chris anymore and Dave acts as his hitting coach……By the end of the season, if Chris’ power isn’t back, it will be a tough decision to keep him because he will be up for arbitration….. Bernie said Dave shouldn’t be mad at the beat writers or himself because he’s not the one who moved Chris down to Memphis. It is also ridiculous to get mad at reporting the news because if any other player messes up in the field they would get the same coverage……With the Pujols injury you can understand Chris being called back up, but it doesn’t make any sense that he was on his way up before that injury.



Leftover Riff Raff:
Doug demands that Barry Bonds play first base for the Cardinals starting tonight….. Doug wonders where Tim’s street cred is because he asked Bill DeWitt about “Fifty” Cent instead of “Fitty” Cent….Tim would love to see U2 play at Busch Stadium…..The Communards could probably fill a stadium in St. Louis…..Tim couldn’t be more excited for the St. Gabriel picnic coming up this weekend……Doug said that Pete Rose has always been a “Power Hoosier”…….Mickey Carroll was at Fairmount Park yesterday…. Someone showed up at Channel 4 yesterday ready to be interviewed by Doug about him running for president.....Jack Clark has beefed up a little bit.

Tuesday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Tuesday, June 10, 2008

HOUR 1:
Jay Jr. filled in for the Cat today…..The guys discuss Cougars next door and go over different places to find them…..One contestant was in Maxim, and she is excited to be in the Cougar competition.

There is a picture of the party from Lush this past Friday of all these hot girls and you see this head down, and it’s clearly Producer Joe. He said he tilted his head down to hear his girlfriend, and the guys laughed at him. Doug said he looks like he was hit over the head with a blunt object and is passed out.

The guys talked about Adam Wainwright’s finger injury….Adam said that it felt like a jammed finger, but Doug said 15 days on the DL is a lot for a “jammed” finger….. Mitchell Boggs can really give the team a lift if he can have a good start tonight…..The Cards have given themselves a little bit of a cushion by going 11 over .500 so far so it’s not horrible if they struggle a little bit, but they threw a lot of real close games away too so far this year….Jay Jr. said he really doesn’t understand what they are doing with Anthony Reyes. He said if they don’t bring him up they should trade him even if they just get a bag of balls because he doesn’t know what he can do to improve his value……..The guys all agree they would like to see Reyes start Thursday especially over messing with McClellan….Tim sent John Mozeliak a text to see if Reyes was out of options and John wrote him back that he is in his 4th year and still has options. Tim then sent him a text asking if Anthony may start Thursday but he hasn’t heard back on that question.

There is a report that Roger Clemons had Viagra in his Yankees’ locker, according to a story in the New York Daily News…..The story said he was likely using it for off label purposes including for reasons that could tie into steroid use……Tim has taken Viagra to see what it was like, and most of the time it made his heart race but one time, he said there was nothing he could do----“I had to wait it out.”



HOUR 2:
There is a subdivision in West County that is well known to be a “swap fest.”….Jay said there was a rumor of a country club in St. Louis where there was wife swapping at night after playing golf and having a few drinks…..Doug wonders if you would be very excited about doing that because he said you would be hoping you would get to hook up with the playmate in the corner but you know you would get burly woman.


Keith Law:
Keith said that the schedule for the Cardinals for the rest of the year is going to be a lot tougher than it has been so far…..He said that there will be a lot of competition for the wild card, and he doesn’t think the Cardinals will have much of a chance to make the playoffs…..Keith said that he thinks the NL Central is a very weak division, and the guys butted heads with Keith about how good the Central and Cardinals are this year……
The 2006 Cardinals were the 2nd worst team he has seen win the World Series in his lifetime, with the worst being the 1987 Twins (who beat the Cards)…..Keith ranked the Cardinals’ draft as in his top 5 overall, and he said Brett Wallace was the 8th best player in the draft and the best college bat in the draft according to his rankings so the Cardinals got a lot of value in their first pick at #13 overall. Keith said he thinks it was a great pick, and he should move very quickly through the minors…..He said the Cubs are clearly the best team in the National League and could probably hang with any team in the American League, and the Philadelphia Phillies are the second best team even though their starting pitching is horrible…..Keith said a lot of what happens with the 2008 Cardinals depends on what happens with the Brewers.



HOUR 3:

WWE Recap:
Last night Vince McMahon was calling people live on the air to give them money. Daniel in 29 Palms California won $200,000 by knowing the password “WWE Universe” when Vince called him…..Tim said that in a show prep meeting last year someone brought up that Vince McMahon was killed in a limo accident, and they seriously were wondering how they should cover it……Obviously it was just a wrestling storyline, but then Chris Benoit died soon after that and Vince had to come back to life and make a statement.


Dave Duncan:
Dave said they are wishing for the best, but that finger that is injured is a very vital part of a pitcher’s performance, and Wainwright won’t be back till it’s 100%.....It could be a longer term problem than 15 days, but hopefully not. Dave said he has never had a pitcher with a problem like this, but he talked to someone who has seen similar injuries and it kept the pitchers out a couple months…..Todd Wellemeyer should be able to make a start on the 14th against Philadelphia. Dave said he got a very good report from trainer Barry Weinberg last night on Wellemeyer……Dave said they are going to discuss who should start Thursday today at the ballpark. He said the #1 consideration would be Jamie Garcia, and the others are question marks……Dave said that if they were looking for multiple starts then Anthony Reyes would be a consideration, but there are a lot of games left and they want to have a reliable option available later in the year if they need to bring someone up so they want to have Reyes keep pitching as well as he can down in Memphis…..They are not really looking to move Kyle McClellan to the starting rotation because it is really hard to make the transition mid-season. Dave said that he doesn’t know if Pineiro will be available Thursday so it really looks like it will be Garcia making the start…..

Dave said surprisingly Mark Mulder has turned a corner and might not be as far away as people would think. He said that Mulder has really responded to the change in his arm slot and has a couple really good sessions so they are excited to see how he throws today…..He also said that Matt Clement could be closer to coming back than previously thought……Dave McKay has been working with the pitchers’ hitting…..Mitchell Boggs is not where you would like him to be He has some refining to do with his off-speed pitches. However, he has an above average fastball with some movement on it. Right now, he will pitch tonight and probably on the 15th against Philadelphia…..Dave said he thinks pitchers are probably diagnosed more now than in the past, and it is more likely for guys to be put on the disabled list to get healthy instead of having them throw at 80-90%..........Dave said they don’t really have a time table yet on guys coming back, but they are going to have Pineiro throw off the mound today and see how he throws. If he is feeling good, slight adjustment that has allowed him to take a different path from the glove to the throwing position. They didn’t have a gun on him, but it looked like a good velocity. Dave said he’d like to see Mulder pitch like he did before the Cardinals got him in the trade…..Dave doesn’t think he’s seen Mark as excited as the way he feels and the way he’s been throwing in a long time. He said that sometimes it’s just a little thing that can make all the difference…..Chris Carpenter had a little set back last week but is back in the groove of things and they hope to have him back around the All-Star break…..Izzy will come into St. Louis and throw a bullpen session for Dave on Friday….. Unfortunately, the situation with Chris Duncan has irritated Dave a lot with how the media covered him. He said one player shouldn’t be singled out from the others, and all players should be treated the same. He said that Chris is doing what he can to get back up here, and Dave didn’t want to talk about the situation publicly.


Leftover Riff Raff:
Brett Wallace looks like a linebacker according to Doug……Doug said that they knew Roger Clemons was using Viagra because someone heard him singing that “Viva Viagra” song…..Jay took a shot at a pre-op tranny and then his mic fell off the stand……Colby Rasmus has a song you hear when you call his phone and Iggy said it is “I’m a super star.”…..The guys want to trade Chris Duncan and Anthony Reyes to Philly for Chase Utley….

Monday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Monday, June 09, 2008

HOUR 1:
Tim didn’t realize that Cat would be back today, but it was a short road trip because channel 5 had the game yesterday and the day off today. Cat will be going to Cincinnati though for this weeks’ trip…..A few girls Friday night at the InsideStl.com festivities referred to Doug as Sean Connery.

Cat ate 12 tacos yesterday, and he thinks that is his wheelhouse. Each taco was the same in terms of size and filling. Cat isn’t usually hungry during the show, and he said that …….Doug had linguine with salmon and sword fish over the weekend and he got free dessert because the owner of the restaurant said he loved the show.

Producer Joe woke up Saturday and realized he didn’t do anything too stupid Friday night so he considered it a victory, even though there is a picture of him with his head down, which according to him, wasn’t an accurate depiction of the night…..Doug kept calling him Stetson, and Joe would immediately flip him off even if he didn’t lift his head or open his eyes.

Anna Kournikova will play tennis for the Aces again this year, and the guys wonder how tall she is. Doug looks her up and it says she is 5’8”…..When she was here last year everyone treated her like a queen.

The Cardinals made all the rookies sing on the flight from Washington to Houston. Brendan Ryan tried to get out of it because he has “too many at bats to still be considered a rookie,” but they still made him do it…..The guys try to figure out which team leader set it up…..Joe Mather rapped, and Ryan said that he was the worst over…..Adam Wainwright will be evaluated today, and Al Hrbosky had the same type of injury before and said it shouldn’t keep Wainwright out for long.…..If Kyle McClellan is moved into the rotation everyone will fight to be the one to drive the beverage cat out to the bullpen. …….Anthony Reyes seems to be destined to stay in the Minors because he struggles in the big leagues and the Cards are trying to improve his trade value. …..The Cards have blown a few games this year in the same manner that they won yesterday.

Cat’s fraternity brothers used to fight over who would throw chicken Parmesian sandwiches out of a car and then shoot them with a skeet shooter.


HOUR 2:
Derrick Goold:

Derrick said that Kyle McClellan needs to build his arm strength if he is going to be a starter. He has been a reliever for awhile since having a couple elbow surgeries in the minors…..The Cards dilemma is that they have an immediate need for a starter, but they are hoping they get good news about Adam Wainwright today…..Mitchell Boggs will likely start Thursday….The other reason to possibly make McClellan a starter is because Jason Isringhausen will be coming back soon as closer, which would make Ryan Franklin the 8th inning guy and Chris Perez the 7th inning guy. If that happens they don’t really want to move McClellan down to the minors…..Goold thinks Franklin has done quite well in the closer role especially how he was put in the situation. Springer was joking with Franklin that when he was an 8th inning guy he was a ground ball pitcher, but yesterday he struck out the side……Brad Thompson is going to make an appearance at AAA today and start a rehab assignment……Mark Mulder will try anything, including changing his arm slot, to keep from having to retire….Need may force Anthony Reyes to return to St. Louis, but it seems like the Cardinals are looking for the right deal to move him while he is in the minors….Derrick thinks Anthony Reyes has been an enigma in the major leagues. He has always pitched well at the AAA level, but he hasn’t shown that he can be reliable in the majors. We all believe he has the talent to be a successful starter, and it is confusing that he can’t make it click…..Jaime Garcia is a lefty and is one of the Cards’ best starting prospects in the minors…..The Cardinals have a lot more players in the minors who could be used as trade bait this year than in the past.


Tim would like to see the Cards give Reyes a shot, but realizes they want him to keep pitching well so they can trade him….Doug wonders if he should be in the majors because everyone knows he can pitch well in the minors, but other teams probably want to know if he can pitch well in the majors before they trade for him.

Supposedly Colorado is in the mode to dump salaries, but Cat can’t imagine that they would trade Matt Holliday….Doug said it would make more sense

Rich Gould on the Fan show called the Arch Rival roller derby girls terrible when they tried to hula hoop……the guys talk the Cat into hitting Mitchell Boggs with a pie in the face on FSN to get that going with the Cardinals…….Cat said his brother was in a press box before and Howard Cosell walked in, sat down, looked at the media guys in there and said “Human Garbage.”



HOUR 3:
Todd Wellemeyer:
Todd said the guys can call him a friend of the show…..He was on his way to see the doctor as they spoke……There was never a bicep problem, but Todd said he doesn’t really understand what the doctor said anyway because the doctor started using big words and Todd was distracted by the pitchers on the wall…….Todd feels that his elbow is getting a lot better and he can bend his elbow with no discomfort while talking on the phone……Todd thinks he’ll throw a side tomorrow and if it feels good he’ll throw on Thursday or Friday……He said he doesn’t like not being with the team while they are on the road……The guys ask about possibly being selected for the All-Star game, and he is just interested in the Home Run Derby, and wanted to know if the guys think he could compete in that instead of playing in the game……Todd went to the Dave Matthews Band concert Saturday night at Busch Stadium…..Todd kicked Brendan Ryan out of his place because he had much more important people coming in town. If Ryan was a pitcher it would be different and Brendan’s fellow infielders need to look out for him. Todd is flying to Kentucky today to see his dog and the guys ask if the dog hasn’t been let out for months…..When Ryan lived with Wellemeyer, he didn’t have a towel or toothpaste.


Jeff Luhnow:
Mini-camp starting today…. Draft pick Johnny Bravo stuck out to Cat because of his name…..Friday night, Jeff got together all the scouts and discussed what they would offer each pick, and they started calling picks and got contracts already signed so they will have 15 picks in camp……The Cards had their eye on Brett Wallace in high school, and he really played well in college….He has one of the best bats Luhnow has seen in all of his years of scouting. The question is where he will play because it’s important he can play a different position than Albert….He has power to all fields; he works deep into counts and waits for his pitch….He only has 9% body fat even though he looks like he would have a lot more than that. He can surprisingly run and even stole some bases…… The Cards aren’t sure when their pick from the Naval Academy will be allowed to play, but they didn’t want to pass on him because he is very talented….Jeff is really happy with where the Cards’ minor league system is right now, and he said they are doing their job when players like Chris Perez and Mitchell Boggs can be called up and play in the big leagues…..Pete Kozma has really played well this year after being the Cards’ first draft pick last year, and may be promoted before the end of the year……


Leftover Riff Raff:
Cat worries everyday that Doug can’t dress himself and get to work…….Cat likes to see comedians when he is in Vegas……Cat will choke Tim out if he talks over the Al Stewart music coming out of break….. Aaron Miles has a binary watch…….. LaRussa had shaving cream on his face in his post-game interview last night, and Doug wants to know if he has a mirror or if he doesn’t have a towel like Brendan Ryan……Jim says you should use a public bathroom if you need to and Doug says only in emergency situations…..Cougar hunter needs to change his name to Dalton…..Jack Snow was an “air dryer.”

Friday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Friday, June 06, 2008

HOUR 1:
Tim said the Cardinals second game yesterday was a bad loss. Jay Jr. said it wasn’t devastating, but it was bad. Especially when the Cubs keep running away…..The guys wonder why LaRussa took Wellemeyer out when he did in the first game because of the double header and the Cards had to use 5 pitchers out of the bullpen in the first game…..Tim said that Ryan Franklin shouldn’t have been used in the first game when they were winning 4-1, but Doug said when you have the lead you need to nail it down and get the win so he didn’t see any problem with Franklin pitching twice yesterday because he only threw 9 pitches in the morning. Doug said these guys aren’t done when they throw 2/3 of an inning……..Doug said the Cubs aren’t going to keep it up…...The guys don’t think Elijah Dukes showing up the ump was as big of a deal as they made it on the post-game show last night. They said if it was Albert Pujols people would probably look at it differently.

The Communards are a favorite of the show, and one listener said he goes online and watches Communards videos on YouTube.


Exit Poll:
1. Which Cardinals starter finishes with most wins at end of season? Jay and Doug picked Wainwright; Tim said Wellemeyer

2. World Series, Super Bowl, or Stanley Cup---which one would you like to see a St. Louis team win next? All 3 guys said he would like to see the Blues win the Stanley Cup

3. Worst stadium or arena in all of sports? Jay said Freedom Hall in Kentucky; Doug said the LA Coliseum; Tim said Shea Stadium

4. You have to vote today—McCain or Obama? Doug said McCain because he’s worried about Obama’s experience; Jay and Tim said Obama

5. You get a threesome with Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie if it meant you had to spend the next two weeks in prison, would ya? Doug doesn’t think he has time for prison and would have to say no; Jay said no; Tim said it would be worth it.

6. What should the new 35+ contest be named instead of “Cougars Next Door”? Doug, Jay, and Tim said they should just stick with Cougars Next Door


HOUR 2:
The guys took a lot of calls for the exit poll this hour.

Jay Jr. read a report about Elijah Dukes being held out of a game for threatening his wife…..Doug hopes that Dukes is not penalized for showing up the umpire last night…..

Jay Jr. got to see the Celtics blow out the Memphis Grizzlies earlier this year, and he became a Celtics fan this year…..He thinks they have a great shot if they win game two but may have some difficulty if they lose because of how good the Lakers are at home….

Jay hopes that Big Brown wins the Belmont and completes the Triple Crown, and he thinks it needs to happen for the industry….Doug’s going to watch the whole race saying “please don’t break your leg”…..Barbaro was more popular than Big Brown is but Jay thinks that could change tomorrow with a win.

Cougar Hunter Jake hung out at Drunken Fish and hung out with a Cougar Next Door who is 46….She said her mom loves Doug Vaughn…..Jake said next week he is going to Brewskeez in O’Fallon cause he heard it is full of cougars.


HOUR 3:
Iggy talked to Chris Long at Home nightclub last night before the rookie party. Iggy told him he could either answer a few questions last night on the red carpet or he could come on the show this morning. Chris went with the first option…..Chris said he is getting advice from 2 different perspectives: veteran guys like La’Roi Glover, Leonard Little, and James Hall, and guys who were in his shoes as a rookie last year—Adam Carriker and Cliff Ryan. Chris said he’s learned that he has to have the attitude of learning in practice by playing hard and not taking any off……Chris Long said his favorite Howie Long movie is Broken Arrow and it is a classic.

John Mozeliak:
John is in St. Louis at the Draft headquarters….He said the Cards felt very fortunate to get Brett Wallace at #13 because they heard rumors he may be taken before them….John said they like what he does in the batters box the most and he will play some at third base and left field…..What is impressive of the Cape Cod league is that they use wood bats and compete against top pitching……He was the Pac-10 player 2 years in a row and won the batting triple crown so John said they are going to push him and try to start him at Palm Beach….John said he was happy that the team never gave up, but it hurt to see them lose like they did in extra innings……John said you can’t put your team in a hole like Mike Parisi did, and he said obviously they need to make a move, and he said it will likely be Mitchell Boggs who will be called up…..Rick Ankiel will not continue on the road trip…..At AA and AAA the Cards have pitchers hit batting practice…..John said he doesn’t know why Tim Melville dropped so far in the draft yesterday…..The Cardinals have the financial flexibility to make a move, but John said the question is if they can keep the club healthy and find someone to put them over the top…….Tim asked John a couple exit poll questions, but John didn’t really want to answer them and had to run to a meeting.


Exit Poll Results:
1. 25 votes Wainwright
2. 29 votes for Stanley Cup
3. Ed Jones Dome 13 votes
4. Obama
5. 30 to 17 yes to the threesome
6. 18 votes went to Cougars next door; Vixens and Dames tied at 9 each


Leftover Riff Raff:
Doug doesn’t have time for prison……The Communards were born gay…..Doug used to make threats like Elijah Dukes…….Tim doesn’t like talking about himself…. Jackie called in to tell the guys that horses are thinking about schools and angels during races…. John Mozeliak said he is a mature adult when Tim asked him to take the exit poll.

Thursday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Thursday, June 05, 2008

HOUR 1:

Manny Legace:
Manny said that the doctor who performed surgery on his knee this summer found out a lot of stuff and did a great job in the operation. “My knee hasn’t felt better in the past five years.”.......Detroit dominated every game Manny watched. Chris Osgood didn’t have to dominate but just play well……Once Detroit gets a 2 goal lead other teams get demoralized….Manny was at the cupcakery the other night……Manny would rather live close to downtown so he’s close to games, and he doesn’t mind driving out to the Mills for practice, but he said he doesn’t understand why they built a mall in the middle of nowhere…….Manny made fun of Cat for getting dropped off at the airport by his wife—Manny said it was like Cat was 5 years old……..Manny said the Blues have to make the playoffs this year, and there is no excuse to not make the playoffs every year…..Manny said they didn’t get into the playoffs this year because the Blues’ team was young and not really prepared to play a full season. They couldn’t score goals when they really needed one in games even though they were in almost every game they played…..Manny asked the guys if they heard what Tiger Woods said about hockey—someone asked him about Detroit or Pittsburgh in the Finals and Tiger said next question, does anyone really watch hockey anymore?.....Manny couldn’t believe that Tiger said that, and Legace said he would never say something bad about another sport.

Bernadette Peters has a hamstring injury and will likely not be able to play in the celebrity hockey game at ScotTrade in a couple weeks……Doug said he doesn’t know what different Mexican food is, and he doesn’t like it because he doesn’t know what to order…...

Wally from Leave It to Beaver was on Martin’s show a couple weeks ago, and Iggy said he was a bad guest….Doug said that Wally had the best line in television when he went on a blind date and told the girl: “Gee you don’t sweat much for a fat girl.”


HOUR 2:

Doug caught another raccoon today. There were 3 of them on his roof yesterday looking at him saying “yeah, we’re up here what are you going to do about it?”….Tim wonders if Doug could shoot them, but Doug said he would probably just holes in his roof.

Cat said he doesn’t understand why people at a resort in a different country go into the villages and take their lives into their own hands because he thinks they should just stay on the beach…..Doug argues that people want to see other countries if they go there….There is a village in South America that has never had contact with the outside world, and a plane took pictures of the villagers shooting arrows at it as it flew over. There are people still living like this because of the weather according to Doug. Since it never gets cold, they don’t need to have clothes.


Dallas Drake:
Dallas Drake joined the guys without sleeping yet all night after winning the Stanley Cup. It’s been a hard road to get there, and he is real grateful more than anything else. Dallas said he has never even been in the same room as the Cup, and he was real excited to have Lidstrom pass it to him on the ice….Dallas Drake has 10 or 11 fake teeth, and a lot of open wounds even though the guys couldn’t see them in the picture…..Keith Tkachuck and Dallas have been playing phone tag since he won it, and he is one of Dallas’ biggest supporters……It’s amazing how fast the playoffs go by……Dallas said he is leaning towards retiring now because there is no better way to go out, but he isn’t officially making an announcement…..Dallas said his family is going to go down to Florida and relax and go to Disney World, and he is going to have a libation in line for rides.

Doug doesn’t know why any professional athlete would quit on his own. He said that they would have to pull the jersey off of him.

Kelly Chase:
Kelly couldn’t be happier for Dallas, and he was great friends with him in St. Louis….For Dallas to get the Cup second shows how much respect the guys have for him, and Chaser said that if you look in the background it seemed that guys were laughing and slapping their knees at how excited Dallas was to hoist the Cup…..Kelly said that he knows that Dallas misses his family a lot, and since he is such a family man it really bothers him, but if Detroit asked Dallas to come back next year, he might come back. Dallas’ family lived about 3 hours away in Traverse City and his kids play hockey and Dallas missed a lot of games…..Kelly is impressed that he is the 3rd hockey guest on today…..There is no better test of attrition than the other night in the third overtime…. Chase said he doesn’t think there will be a guy walking around in 10 years who will be as sore as Dallas Drake for the way he played and left everything on the ice…..Chaser said Timmy sounded like Mrs. Doubtfire when he makes his voice real high.


HOUR 3:
Cat is a glutton….He leaves the station, goes for a run and doesn’t eat anything all day so he is famished and 12 tacos go down easy.

Joe Strauss:
Joe allegedly respects the program…..It will only take about 5 minutes to clear the stadium between games of the double header because there are so few people at Nationals’ stadium….Joe said he hasn’t seen the kind of competition of the Nationals in years……The Nationals’ new stadium isn’t that great but Busch isn’t that great either….The Cardinals have had all their position players available all year till now with Pujols and Ankiel, and Joe thinks they can compete with anyone when all their players are available…..Mike Parisi needs to show something because they have a lot of options in Memphis who are pitching well…..Joel Pineiro’s injury shouldn’t be downplayed and his injury needs time to heal because it is a bigger concern than originally thought….. Strauss said that Anthony Reyes should be traded if the Cards don’t want to bring him up if Parisi struggles…..Strauss said he thinks Chris Duncan will be down in Memphis for at least 2-3 weeks even if he starts hitting….Joe Mather is a good athlete and has been good defensively so far.

Iggy gave the guys a list of the titles of The Communards songs he has played so far: European Boy, The Man Machine, Junk, Need a Man Blues, That Perfect Boy.


Leftover Riff Raff:
Cat loves going to the CupCakery in the Central West End, and he said the move for him is the Gold Rush cupcake…….Joel Goldberg is having trouble holding a microphone out in Kansas City because his fingers are so big…..Doug said you can’t say licketty split when talking about trannys……The last time someone got hit and said, “Oww that smarts” was in 1903….Cat has never been pinched….Brett Hull calls Detroit—“Detoilet”…Tim was wondering what a Cantina was…..Rudy was sober today because he was hung over.

Wednesday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Wednesday, June 04, 2008

HOUR 1:
The guys are impressed with the new call screening software…..Rudy already calls in by 7:05, and the guys actually talk to him for a few minutes….Rudy left Cat a voicemail last night that said it looked like the KKK was sitting behind home plate because a guy had a white rain coat with his hood up. Rudy thought a sniper rifle was coming through his blinds because a red beam was waking him up. Rudy also kept asking for a job because he thinks Tim’s friend Bobby Magic is hiring people for the parking garage behind the station…..The guys think the red beam he was talking about is from an alien scout who looks for people to take back to space. However, the aliens realize that Rudy has way too high of a blood alcohol level for them to experiment on anymore.

Tim said that Tony LaRussa was impressed with the play in the field last night on the wet field. Tony said, “On a track like that it was beyond beyond.” …..The Cat’s Pajamas today is an emotional one, and it will make you laugh and cry.


Keith Tkachuck:
Walt Tkachuck said he watched the Stanley Cup Finals game on Monday from start to finish, and he is excited for Dallas Drake to be so close to his first Stanley Cup…..Pittsburgh hasn’t been getting a lot of quality chances and when they have shots, Pittsburgh has been getting great goaltending, but Walt has no doubt Detroit is going to win because of how they have dominated the series so far……If Walt was in charge of the NHL he would have Crosby traded to a larger market like New York or LA or Chicago so he had more exposure…..The Red Wings are a tough team to play against, and it seems that they always have the puck. Their scouting guy should be paid a lot of money because they always have the best players……Walt has stayed in contact with Dallas Drake by texting him….Walt said he thinks the Blues will be a better team this season even if they don’t make a big off season move, but he knows that John Davidson and Larry Pleau will be working hard looking at different guys to acquire…..Keith took a couple weeks off after the season, but he is back working out and getting ready for the season…..Cat tells Tim that he has started working out at a boxing gym, and the guys invite Walt to work out with him. Tim said he does the workout naked in front of a mirror, and Walt doesn’t want any part of working out with him.


The guys take another call from Rudy, and he said the Blues don’t have any defensive players except rookies, and they need to stand the opposition up…..Tim said he will give Rudy Andy Murray’s number and he can tell him, but they will really trick Rudy with Maurice Drummond impersonating Coach Murray…..Cat said he thinks it would be easier to trick Rudy.



CAT’S PAJAMAS:
Doug sings to the music….The Cardinals’ bullpen has done alright without Izzy so far. With Izzy in the bullpen the Cards had a 4.30 ERA with a .263 opponents' batting average against the pen. Without Izzy, the bullpen is 2-1 with a 3.08 ERA and a batting average against of .229. They have also converted 4 of 5 save opportunities.….Brendan Ryan beat Joe Mather in a wiffle ball game at Busch Stadium, and FSN will air part 2 of the game tonight during the pre-game show…… Rams rookie Chris Long said Jim’s nickname should be the “Big Cat”……Barack Obama has a busted up flat screen on his campaign bus after kicking it when Hillary said she wouldn’t concede yet last night.


HOUR 2:
The guys wonder if the Chicago Cubs will ever lose because they are tearing it up, winning 9 straight. Edmonds didn’t get to play last night. Tim wrote Jimmy a text last night telling him that it is nice to see him playing well again, but they need to lose. Edmonds wrote back asking Tim to “stop being a fan”…..Al Hrabosky mentioned Edmond’s ‘half-shirt’ yesterday to Cat, and Cat mentioned that he should never bring that up around Edmonds or he will get upset.

Rudy called in again and said he has already drunk a half gallon of rum. He said he shaved his head…..The guys wonder what Rudy’s liver looks like.

One of the women who is considering competing in the ‘Cougars Next Door’ contest doesn’t want to be called a cougar. CEO Tim needs to change the name of the contest from ‘Cougars Next Door’ to something else. If you can name the contest you can go to all of the InsideSTL events on Friday night and everything will be taken care of. There is a ‘Girls Next Door’ contest at Hooters followed by the Playboy event at Lumiere Place Casino….Tim isn’t sure what to do, and he is a decision maker….

The guys focus on the Hill-Witch Project, and wonder if Hillary will really drop out now. Barack assumed she would give it up last night and even had a speech ready for it. Cat doesn’t understand that 2 states don’t count in the Democratic Nomination vote….In comparison to 2004, Tim believes that Americans have a much greater choice this year in the Presidential race, and the guys discuss whether Hillary could be Barack’s running mate.



HOUR 3:
Russ Springer:
The Communards are not really Russ’ style. Russ couldn’t confirm or deny that Ryan Franklin was singing the rejoin song, but he said it could be him because he has been known to bust out a tune…..Yesterday’s rain delay was rough. They sat around and watched other games, and tried to stay pumped up for when they would resume play….
When Russ pitched last night he felt like he was in an instructional league because there were so few people in the stands after both rain delays…Right now the Cards have a deep bullpen, and Tony LaRussa is big on match-ups with hitters so Russ said he understands how he is being used in games…..The new guys are getting along well in the bullpen. They are good guys and everyone is getting along well….It’s been tradition for years for the new guy to bring the snacks to the bullpen, and Kyle McClellan got lucky because Izzy got him a cart to drive out there. Kyle makes sure he lets the other rookies know that he Doug asked what kind of snacks do they ‘nibble’ on during the game? Russ said they can’t really eat much out there but sometimes can sneak a mini candy bar in their jacket pocket….Doug asked for help getting the raccoons out of his attic, and Russ said he should go to the local co-op and get a trap….Chris Perez is the quiet one, and when he does talk he is usually worth listening to…..Russ said that the best teams he has been on in the past have either had dominant starting pitching or they have been like this Cards team with a good mix of veterans and rookies with everyone rallying around each other….Russ preaches to the other guys that they are like a family and everyone pulls for each other…..Izzy is feeling good and throwing the ball pretty well right now….Franklin likes the closer role, and he has the right mentality for the job…..Tim asked Russ about when he kept throwing inside to Barry Bonds a few years ago, and Russ said he beat him before by pitching like that and if he was going to miss he would miss inside.



LEFTOVER RIFF RAFF:
Doug’s wife is not a “furry” according to Doug because Jim said maybe the raccoons on his roof found out that his wife likes their company…..Big Z makes things happen and he is a ‘rainmaker’ according to Doug…… Cat wonders if Big Z makes it rain in strip clubs with Pacman Jones…..Tim is the new “Great One” instead of Wayne Gretzky…..Doug could go long with a wiffle ball……Tim asks if Chris Long meant he was with him sexually when they played the clip of Long saying “I’ve been with the Cat.”…..A guy from Cat’s fraternity would play ‘hide ‘n tuck’……Doug started sagging around 60 years old….A great exit poll question would be favorite candy bar or favorite fast food French fry?.....Cat sits in the press box and ‘nibbles’……Cat doesn’t like holding hands at the ballpark….There was once a Honey Badger named Timmy who had some sugar in his tank….. Tex Cobb was a walking punching bag who got beaten to a pulp by Muhammed Ali and then said “let’s party.”

Tuesday's Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Tuesday, June 03, 2008

HOUR 1:
The guys are very disappointed that the Cardinals lost last night, and they wonder if Adam Wainwright should’ve been yanked before he gave up the grand slam. However, they all agree that while they were watching the game no one wanted him to be taken out because he is the ace and he was working a shut out.

Tim was talking to Jim Edmond’s business partner at F15TEEN yesterday, and he said that Edmonds would like to put together an event when the Cubs are in town in July. Tim thinks that if Edmonds didn’t have such a big weekend, he wouldn’t be on the Cubs’ team anymore……Every woman who called in the old show had a thing for Martin. Doug said that Martin is considerably cuter than Cat or Tim, but Tim said he thought he (Tim) was cute as a button.

Tim was also bewildered by Tony LaRussa not pinch hitting Brendan Ryan for Skip Schumaker because he isn’t as good against lefties…..Tim wants to hear from callers to see what was the most frustrating for them: Wainwright being left in; pitching outside to Jason Bay when you have the shift on; or Schumaker hitting instead of Ryan?......Doug said the Cards have had seasons when they have only lost one or two when leading late in the game, and this year they have done it around 7-8 times already this year.

Big Z looked into the Qdoba debacle because he was listening to the show yesterday when someone tried to use one and the person working said there wasn’t any money on it. However, Big Z said that the gift cards do work.

Tim got an email from Dave Sinclair #2 that said Tim needs to drive slower on Hwy 44 on his way to work. It said that Dave got a call from a citizen and a police officer saying Tim was driving too fast…….However, Tim said he was wronged, and he was harassed by speeding hoosiers in a big pickup truck…..Cat said all anyone wants on the road is a thank you wave if you accidentally do something……Tim emailed Dave back apologizing.


HOUR 2:
Continuing the story from last hour, Cat said if Tim called in and complained to the city police about the hoosiers speeding, they would’ve jumped in their time machine and tried to catch them…..Cat gave his road rage story. Cat moved over for a truck in pouring down rain and got right in front of someone who then pulled up next to Cat yelling at him. Cat rolled down his window and actually spit into his car and it landed on the passenger seat. The guy then went ballistic level 5 and screamed for Cat to pull over and fight, but then Cat was laughing and not upset anymore so he tricked the other guy and got off the highway.

Doug then told a story about his wife yelling to someone to slow down in their neighborhood, and then the guy slammed on his brakes and backed up and started cussing out his wife so she called for Doug to come out and help her. Cat said he thinks Doug hid in the pantry behind bags of chips, but Doug said he went outside and the guy yelling at his wife was around 5’1” and weighed 96 pounds. Doug said if the guy got out of his white truck he thinks he would’ve broke his neck…..Cat doesn’t believe him and gets Doug to admit he hid in the kitchen and told his son to go outside to help his mom.

Cat said that Doug will be in a nursing home later in his life, and pretend like he is doing sportscasts. Cat pretended like he was there and said, “Oh no there’s Doug sitting at the table again putting oatmeal on his face like it’s make-up…… “2-2; 2-1; That’s a goner.”

Cat said he keeps a puppet in his glove box so when people have road rage he reaches for it and people are like “oh no, he has a gat,” but really you just have a puppet and everyone gets a laugh……Cat’s friend has a turkey leg in his glove box.


RICK HUMMEL:
The guys ask Rick about pitching on the outside of the plate with the shift on, and Rick said that Jason Bay rarely hits that pitch, and Rick thought it was a good pitch……Doug thinks that Braden Looper should’ve pinch hit last night…….Joe Mather has made 2 spectacular catches in the last 2 games, but he will still be part-time status right now. He should be a starter next year…..Hummel said he doesn’t see Chris Duncan being here next year because they will likely have Mather, Rasmus and Ankiel starting in the outfield……Rick said he’s not concerned about Colby Rasmus……Todd Wellemeyer has a good strong arm, and he might even get better than this.


HOUR 3:
The guys played some sound from the O’Reilly Factor last night from the McClellan interview, and wondered what McClellan’s real intent is behind writing the book…..Tim said Bill O’Reilly has a way of making you question your own point of view by the time you leave his show just like Kevin Slaten because of how they argue with you.


Colby Rasmus:
Colby joined the guys and sounded like he was half asleep at first…..Colby said he is more comfortable now and has figured the pitchers and league out so he is hitting better now…..He said it was a rough time not making it to the majors after spring training, but he has put it behind him and will try not to think about it again…..Pitchers are smarter at the AAA level; they are smarter and don’t come after you as much…….Colby said at the beginning of the year, he was trying too hard, and the pitchers weren’t giving him anything to hit…..He thinks he got his hopes up too high by not making the club out of spring training and that could’ve effected his performance early in the year…..Colby said that Mather deserves to be in the big leagues, and he is a great player and friend……. Rasmus said AAA is not what he expected it to be, and when they go to different cities they don’t always play in front of big crowds.

WWE Wrestling Recap:
Last night was the best wrestling show in a week……Vince McMahon took a shot at some of the Mexicans in the audience in Bakersfield, California, when he was talking about eligibility of winning his $1 million dollar giveaway…….Doug said people shouldn’t be pushed to vote by the WWE because they don’t know what they are voting for.


Leftover Riff Raff:
Cat thinks Doug should stop gambling away all his money so his kids don’t have to eat just saltines now…….You can’t hardly drive through Kirkwood without getting stopped by a train……Cat likes referring to movies as “movin pictures”……Back in the day, the question wasn’t about road rage, but if a gentleman should offer a tiperello to a lady…..Festus is considered the Paris of the Mid West…..Cat used the word “nads.”

Monday Morning Show Synopsis
By Ben Boyd Monday, June 02, 2008

HOUR 1:
The guys talk about Kimbo Slice’s fight over the weekend….Cat had thought he was a homeless guy who fought for his food, but his real name is Kevin Ferguson, and he went to college in Florida…..Cat at first thought UFC was barbaric, but now he thinks it is pretty fun to watch because the guys are very skilled, and he believes it takes years of training…….They joke that Tim may have the skin between his nostrils removed, because it is much more intimidating to look like you have one big nostril.

Some of the players call Joe Mather: Joey Bombs…….Cat blamed Big Z for Mike Parisi’s bad start on Saturday……Cat was in the dugout on Friday and was talking with Mike Parisi, so he asked Parisi to talk to Joe Z on the Batting Cage. However, Big Z didn’t believe that it was really Parisi so he really didn’t interview him….Doug said that he thinks it is Cat’s fault because Big Z couldn’t trust him. Cat said he can see the headline: “Cardinals Ban Big Z.”

The guys make fun of the Pirates for being such a bad organization. Cat said they have a decent line-up, but they aren’t getting much else. They have a nice ballpark though. Doug said that the Pirates should imitate the Marlins and trade their top players for prospects.

Rick Ankiel made an unbelievable catch over the weekend diving towards the wall, but the guys think Jim Edmonds had one or two that were better in his career…..Troy Glaus is playing much better, and said he plays much better when it is warm. Doug said he thinks Glaus is hitting much better because now he can see. He was having problems seeing before…..Todd Wellemeyer said that by living with Brendan Ryan he has learned that Ryan has a toothbrush, but no toothpaste, and he doesn’t have a towel……Jon Heyman of SI said that the Rockies will be a trade deadline feast for teams because they are in last place.

Doug said he thinks all the guys could share one hotel room at Hedonism on vacation. Tim said he heard the place to go on vacation is Costa Rica, and Iggy chimed in that he interviewed for a job in Costa Rica one time for a gambling website. Iggy might have taken the job if it was closer to the beach, but it was in the mountains.

For the first time since 1908, the Cubs have the best record in baseball in June. The guys wonder who was on the team back then, and Tim said he has a baseball signed by Hack Wilson and Rogers Hornsby.



HOUR 2:
Tim has his “Big Revelation” which he changes to an anecdote. Tim and his wife were figuring out what to do yesterday, and chose Six Flags over the Cardinals game or Taste of Clayton……It was $15 for parking and $75 to get in for Tim and his wife. Tim really liked the big wooden rollercoaster called the Boss, but it jerked his head around……The guys talked about some guy throwing his wife off of a stand-up roller coaster a few years ago…..Cat guessed that the place reeked of body odor and everyone was wearing jean shorts.


Derrick Goold:
Derrick Goold of the Post-Dispatch said that he saw Jim Edmond’s catch in KC live when he as attending Mizzou, and he compared it to Rick Ankiel’s catch this weekend. He said that the degree of difficulty on Ankiel’s catch is unlike anything he has ever seen. Goold said that Rick steals extra base hits away from players and that is a heck of an asset to have. There aren’t very many center fielders in the game like that…..Chris Duncan will have many dozen AAA at-bats to get his swing right, and Derrick said he thinks Duncan may be traded…..Adam Kennedy is struggling again, and Derrick said he thinks it is time for Aaron Miles and Brendan Ryan to play because of the way they have been hitting……Goold thinks the Cubs are the most complete and balanced team in the league. They need to play a little better on the road, but they have the capability to run away with the Central title. However, they have Kerry Wood as their closer and play the Cardinals in enough games to make it interesting if the Cards keep winning series….. Derrick said you learn a lot from a team through the first 41 games, and he said he believes the Cards are as good as they have been playing….It depends on how attractive the Cards’ prospects are if they will be able to make a big trade this season.



HOUR 3:

Joe Mather:
Pop Warner started calling him Joey Bombs when he first started playing for the Cards…..His first weekend as a big leaguer was “awesome.”…. “It’s been unbelievable and even better than I thought.”…….His dad drove from Phoenix to see Joe’s second game….He hasn’t flown since he has come back from being a paratrooper in Vietnam….Mather was told he can’t play the Golden Tee machine yet; Kyle McClellan picked him up from the airport and told him the rules….It was a long road and it never was easy to get to the majors. He was sitting in the bottom of the minors for a long time. Joe said it’s amazing how just being comfortable is when there are so many other young guys are on the team…..Brendan Ryan moved out of Wellemeyer’s place, and Cat thinks he’s is living in a loft……Joe is living in a hotel right now, and no one has really said anything about moving somewhere…..Mather isn’t married, and he said, “he’s living the dream.”…..Joe said the whole time he thought he was going to catch the ball in the outfield, but it kept tailing away so he had to dive for it……Joe said he thinks he’ll be used mainly as a corner outfielder, and maybe some first base to give Albert a break while he is here.

Ozzie Guillen said he is sick and tired of watching the team play like they have for the past year and a half, and something needs to be done whether its with players or the coach…..The guys think Mike Keenan is the most bat crap manager that has been in St. Louis, and Mike Martz would be second, but they were different kinds of bat crap…..Cat said he liked Martz, and he misses having him around.



Leftover Riff Raff:
Doug’s 3 hour sportscast is in the works because his face is the moneymaker at Channel 4……Cat said next year the Anaheim Angels are thinking of changing their name to the Brooklyn Angels…….If you are doing a Saturday night sports broadcast, you can do “Bloopers and Boners”……..Tim called the show “The Morning Grind” today and was surprised he hasn’t done it before today……Tim forgot his wallet on his kitchen table this morning…..The guys think they are going to hang out with Joe Mather and maybe even Chris Long. Tim hopes they would go to Six Flags with him, and he hopes someone will make him a jersey with the Cardinals on the front and Rams on the back…..Married people tend to live longer according to Doug, but Cat said so do dog owners.
