The Battlehawks are playoff bound (and somehow have home field advantage?), the Cardinals might actually be back (??), and CITY SC continues their brutal slide in MLS action.It's another wild week in the Gateway to the West—and Gateway Tailgate has you covered. We kick things offwith This Week in STL Sports, where we throw it back to some all-time Cardinals quirks, including a literal between-games player trade. Then it's on to the main course: CITY SC drops another frustrating one to Colorado, the Cardinals split a confusing series with Detroit and Arizona, and the Battlehawks torch San Antonio… at home… on the road…yeah, it's UFL logic. Plus, we debate theCardinals' potential rest-of-season identity, celebrate STL legends on the All-Century Team, and ask: How would youfix the UFL? Subscribe, comment,and tailgate with us every week—this is St. Louis sports, unfiltered.

The Cardinals are surging, the Battlehawks have clinched a playoff spot and technically locked up home field advantage, and CITY SC continues to test the patience of STL fans everywhere. In this week’s episode of Gateway Tailgate, we kick things off with some historic STL sports moments—from Stan Musial breaking Honus Wagner’s NL hit record to Ben Hogan taking the PGA Championship in St. Louis. Then it’stime to dive in: the Cardinals stay hot with series wins over the Phillies and Royals, the Battlehawks edge out Birmingham in a thriller, and Max Duggan keeps the offense moving. Meanwhile, CITY SC coughs up a 2-0 lead to draw with SKC and sleepwalks through a 3-0 loss in Minnesota. We wrap it all up with Adam’s sports trivia and a quick look at the PGA Championship winner. It’s chaos, it’s catharsis—it’s Gateway Tailgate

The Cardinals are finally heating up, the Battlehawks are flying behind Max Duggan, and CITY SC… well, they’re hanging on. In this week’s episode of Gateway Tailgate, we’ve got a packed STL sports roundup that swings from domination to desperation.We kick things off with a trip down memory lane—Stan Musial hits 3,000, Gary Gaetti gets his 2,000th, and Adam drops some STL trivia heat. Then it’s onto the good stuff: the Cardinals have rattled off nine straight wins, sweeping both the Pirates and Nationals. The bullpen’s clicking, the bats are hot, and the vibes? Immaculate. Meanwhile, the Battlehawks notch another win as Max Duggan settles in and the defense clamps down. But it’s not all sunshine—CITY SC continues to frustrate, with a bounce-back Open Cup win overshadowed by another MLS loss to San Diego.

In this episode of Gateway Tailgate, we’re diving headfirst into another wild week of St. Louis sports chaos. From CITY SC getting robbed by yet another VAR decision, to the Cardinals forgetting how to win once they leave Busch, to the Battlehawks struggling deep in the heart of Texas, it's been a rollercoaster ride—and we haven’t even made it to the Blues’ playoff heartbreak yet. But before we get into the mess, we kick things off with a nostalgic look back at “This Week in STL Sports,” where we honor legends like Ozzie Smith, Bob Feller, and yes… Sam Bradford (remember him?).On the field, pitch, and rink, it's been a mixed bag. CITY battled to a 0-0 draw with Vancouver, showing strong defense but still looking like they're solving an offside riddle wrapped in a mystery. The Cardinals’ offense is hitting, but the bullpen is an active crime scene—starting the season 1-9 on the road is not ideal. The Battlehawks lost Manny Wilkins and got a heavy dose of Max Duggan, but the result was still a 30-15 loss to Arlington. And the Blues? They looked solid for most of Game 1, then fell apart late against Winnipeg. Stick around—we’ve got takes, rants, and therapy sessions incoming.#GatewayTailgate #STLSports #StLouisCardinals #CitySC #StLouisBlues #Battlehawks #MLS #MLB #NHL #UFL #SportsPodcast #stlquezonresultstoday

Oh, and the Battlehawks? They took a tough loss at home tothe Defenders.

On the nationalside, we wrap up The Masters, where Rory McIlroy finallycompletes the Grand Slam, and give a quick shoutout to Western Michigan fortheir Frozen Four win. We’ll also tee up what’s ahead this week across STL: theCardinals host Houston before hitting the road to New York, the Blues eye aplayoff berth with a showdown vs. Utah, the Battlehawks travel to Arlington,and CITY SC hosts Vancouver. It’s all here, straight from the heart of theGateway City — unfiltered, fired up, and always for the fans.
