Chris, Travis, Gardner and Truckie B are all in-studio. “We Are Live!” is teaming with Loufest to host the “Last Laugh” stage at the event. The Cardinals win their eighth straight, but slugger Matt Carpenter exits the game early after being hit by a pitch on his right hand. Carpenter says he will be fine and opened a sealed jar of his homemade salsa to test the affected area. Chris asks if the Cards should retaliate against the Nationals for beaning Carp. Travis calls for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department to beat the Nats’ president mascots as a measure of vengeance. He then demands the Redbirds sign Carpenter to an extension in the offseason if he wins the N.L. MVP Award. A listener text suggests a particular person is working to land a NBA franchise in the “Mound City.” The group “thought showers” the idea of Trav as a basketball play-by-play announcer. His catchphrase would be “Hey man!”
