Saint Louis Live!

Brian Cushing suspended 10 games for PEDs. He apologizes and moves on.
Simone Biles had some heat given to her by a Russian gymnast. The
Morning Melee and Fair or Foul are released. Today is Go Orange STL
day. Best Asian baseball player? LouFest dates already set for next
year. We get into how we developed our interests and vices. High
school language talk closes out the hour.

Matthew Ehrenreich joins the guys live for the Matthew Ehrenreich 7
o'clock hour. We are beginning a new version of the partnership with
Martin T Rucker and Mizzou Football. A little Mizzou football talk.
The Cardinals fell to the Reds last night 6-0. Chris saw It last night
and did not enjoy it. Jeff tries to get John Brebbia on the program it
did not go so well. A banner was hung over the green monster. The
White House comments on Jemele Hill.

Gaines is really excited to talk about hockey. It’s time. It’s here, and he can’t avoid it. Cardinals lost 6-0 last night and it feels like Matheny may have thrown in the towel a little early. The handling of Molina and Kelly has been pretty strange, and Gaines thinks it gets worse if Molina is in the lineup today. Blues prospects are exciting, and we’re talking about them with The Athletic’s @coreypronman. Gaines thinks Alex DeBrincat is too small, and we’re the only show in town who talked about Alex DeBrincat today.

Kid Rock blocked the Detroit Free Press from his opening of the Little
Caesar's arena. A little debate about some Kid Rock classics.
Nickelback is a great band according to Gaines. Jeff gives us some
dumb Canadian fact. Jemele Hill calls Trump a white supremacist and is
now in hot water. A larger discussion about ESPN takes place in the
second half of the hour. Fair or Foul is read to close out the show.

Some 90s and early 2000s NBA talk dominates the early part of the
second hour. A train calls in to discuss the post Jordan Bulls. Jamie
Moyer's Fancy Foyer send in his WAL power rankings. Fair or Foul and
the Morning Melee is released. Paul Lukas from UniWatch joined to
discuss trends in uniforms across the NBA and NHL. Travis wants to
change everything about the Cardinals jerseys.

Jeff went to the Cards game last night and held Lance Lynn
accountable. The gang went to Berra Park to throw the pigskin around.
and Gaines feels vindicated. Jeff Jones actually held Mike Matheny
accountable on his quote about Wainwright. Another discussion about he
Cardinals off season. Fredbird almost killed John Mozeliak yesterday.

Cards won last night and didn’t gain any ground. It’s hard to complain about being at the ballpark late, but in a blowout, it may not be much fun to be there. Seattle announced a new arena yesterday and the Calgary Flames also showed up with Gary Bettman to make a statement. Teams haven’t updated their communication strategy for demanding arenas in a really long time. Gaines doesn’t believe that technological updates have a lot to do with fan experience, but he also hasn’t been to many games in other cities. Travis makes a surprise appearance on the Wake-Up Hour, and neither he nor Gaines wants to talk analytics.

Pat Imig and Josh Barbo with Travis Terrell, bring you the best in high school football.

Baked cookie dough. It is old school wrestling night at Busch. Fair or
Foul and the Morning Melee is released. Apple has an event today to
release the new phone. Mike Matheny has a really dumb quote.
