Before they play their first game against Milwaukee, the Cardinals will have finished their season series against the Cubs and Reds, and yet it's the 10 games against the Brew Crew crammed into the final two weeks of the regular season that will decide both team's playoff chances -- and perhaps more. Adam McCalvy, the Brewers beat writer for MLB.com and author of "The Milwaukee Brewers at 50: Celebrating a Half-Century of Brewers Baseball," joins the Best Podcast in Baseball to preview a series more than a month in the making. St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold hosts the weekly podcast, and the two veteran scribes of the NL Central discuss everything from Brewers history to Brewers present, to Craig Counsell's influence and a manager's irritation at a Boston hotel, to the problem with the Manager of the Year awards and what it's like covering a World Series game at Fenway Park amidst the fans in right field. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
