Mizzou hosts No. 8 Alabama on Saturday, Oct 11 at 11:00 a.m. CT on ABC in a ranked SEC showdown at Faurot Field.

He also digs into Alabama under Kalen DeBoer, QB Ty Simpson’s strengths, and the national skepticism that follows Mizzou until they beat an SEC blueblood.

The St. Louis Blues return right on time! After a gloomy baseball summer, Jim Montgomery’s club brings back energy, structure, and a 5-on-5 identity that turned last season around.

He hits the big matchups: QB Beau Pribula’s growth, RB Ahmad Hardy’s bulldozer season, and how Ty Simpson and Alabama’s pass pro match against Mizzou’s rush. Plus, why this game kicks off a brutal seven-game gauntlet that will define Missouri’s season.

October 03, 2025 Chaim Bloom Was DOOMED in Boston. Here’s Why STL Is Different
Bernie dives deep into the saga of Chaim Bloom, explaining why his disastrous run with the Boston Red Sox wasn’t his fault: and why the St. Louis Cardinals are the perfect landing spot for him.
From John Henry’s constant flip-flopping to Alex Cora’s power struggles, Bloom was undermined at every turn in Boston. Now, with Bill DeWitt Jr. and the Cardinals committed to his long-term vision, Bloom has the freedom and stability he never had before.
Bernie explains why this fresh start could finally restore the Cardinals’ player development machine and return the franchise to its former glory.

October 02, 2025 Albert Pujols to Angels? Why the Cardinals are sticking with Oli Marmol in 2026
Bernie Miklasz digs into the hottest rumor in baseball: Albert Pujols emerging as the leading candidate to manage the Los Angeles Angels, while the St. Louis Cardinals reaffirm Oli Marmol for 2026.
He breaks down why Chaim Bloom will not reverse course, what Arte Moreno’s involvement means, and why the Angels job is a minefield for any first-time skipper. Reports indicate Pujols is the owner’s preferred choice, and he remains tied to the franchise via a personal-services deal.
Pujols just led Escogido to the LIDOM title and the Dominican Republic to the 2025 Caribbean Series crown, and he is slated to manage the Dominican team in the 2026 WBC. Ron Washington will not return in 2026 after missing time in 2025 for heart surgery, with the Angels moving on this week

Is this truly the start of a new era? Bernie lays out the philosophy, history, and what fans should expect from a rebuild that may take patience but could restore the Cardinals to being one of MLB’s smartest organizations.

September 30, 2025 You’re Blaming The WRONG Guy! Cardinals Problems Explained
Chaim Bloom is keeping Oli Marmol as the St. Louis Cardinals manager in 2026, and Bernie explains why that move tracks with where this franchise is headed.
He gets into the rebuild question, Bloom’s alignment with Marmol, and why so much of the last three years points above the manager’s pay grade.
Historical context matters, so he compares Marmol’s first four seasons to Tony La Russa’s first four in St. Louis, and we walk through where the bullpen and one-run results actually credit Marmol’s game management.
