Flaherty against former Cardinal Mike Leake tonight in Arizona. Last night's win was tense at the end but ultimately a good result. What are the opinions of the bullpen? The team has done well under John Mozeliak's management- we talk about that with Derrick Goold.  We also talk about the Cubs series and long-standing rivalry. We talk about getting the magic number to 1 tonight (possibly). Yadier Molina's resurgence. Carlos Martinez's use. All that and more with Derrick Goold of the Post Dispatch.

After a come-from-behind win on Sunday to wrap up a 4-game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley, the Cardinals head to the desert for their final road series of the season, taking on Arizona for three. Chris Hrabe chats with Mike Ferrin of Diamondbacks Radio & MLB Network Radio to preview the series, talk about what's changed since the two teams met coming out of the All Star Break, and more.

A great Monday to visit with John Mozeliak after a special weekend series in Chicago. Mo said that there was a bounce in everyone's step in the clubhouse after the sweep at Wrigley. Was Matt Carpenter's home run the most uplifting moment? The depth of the lineup was a huge factor too. On any given night, someone different has had an impact. Mo says they've been saying that since February. What was the atmosphere like celebrating that the Cardinals made the postseason? John Mozeliak said Yadi lead it off by speaking eloquently about keeping their foot on the gas to win the division. All that and more with St. Louis Cardinals, GM John Mozeliak.

It all comes down to the Cards Cubs rivalry and in, Ben Fred's words, there will be a lot of digested fingernails. We talk about Joe Madden's future in Chicago and how it compares to what was Matheny's role. The Cubs front office has made many moves and they expect to win with those players on the team now.

Ben Fred says this will be postseason baseball before the postseason starts. The Cardinals have to at least get the spit series which has proven tough at Wrigley this year. How will Wacha do in a place that he hasn't done so well in?

How about re-signing of Ozuna? What are the thoughts on Dylan Carlson and the timing of him joining the bigs?

The Mizzou football game against South Carolina this weekend could be interesting. Does Kelly Bryant make a difference in the result? Ben Fred says the Tigers need to minimize the self-inflicted wounds.

We talk MLS stadium and the next big reveal. Time is ticking for the ownership group to get the ball rolling. Also, the slow-build of the team's operations side. Does Dan Flynn play a part?

Blues preseason has started. What stands out? How is the new practice facility helping?

In this week’s “Tony Talk”,  thoughts on the Cards-Cubs showdown, Wainwright’s competitive edge, Yaz at Fenway, plus that one day Tony scores the winning run for the Cubs at Wrigley.

13 to go and the lead in the Central Division has dwindled to just two games. Tough loss yesterday. How do they bounce back? How is the health of Carlos Martinez?
