In the first (and only) hour of tonight’s show, Matt Pauley laments the Cardinals as they scrape along the remaining games of their disappointing season, having just wrapped up a series loss to the NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers. Matt also features his interview with St. Louis Blues analyst for Bally Sports Midwest Jamie Rivers to preview the upcoming season. Also on Sports Open Line: St. Louis City SC clinches a playoff spot; a professional women’s soccer team may be coming to St. Louis; the XFL and USFL may merge; and which pitchers the Cardinals should consider signing or trading for this offseason.
