Bernie Miklasz kicks off the show discussing the Monday eclipse, the Cardinals starting a six game homestand, losing more ground in the NL Wild Card last night, and the release of the AP Top 25 poll.

With Lance Lynn set for free agency at the end of the year, Bernie Miklasz looks at the question: "will the Cardinals have enough of a rotation to contend in 2018?" He discusses the recent struggles of Leake and Waino and how that affects all of this.

Roger Goodell is set to receive a 5-year extension to remain commissioner of the NFL, and though he faces a lot of criticism and disdain Bernie explains why it was an easy decision for owners to keep him on as Commissioner.

Matt Carpenter has had a lot of ups and downs in 2017 including his recent high after being moved to leadoff, but now mired in a 4 for 27 slump in the last 7 games Bernie talks about how his season has taken the shape of the Cards season.

Will Brinson joined Bernie Miklasz to talk about Monday's eclipse, the Denver Broncos about ready to move on from Paxton Lynch, the Colts struggles this offseason, and Dak Prescott coming into his Sophomore season.

The Cardinals rotation is struggling to get through innings leaving a big hole for the Cardinals bullpen, and Bernie says with Mike Matheny in charge of the 'pen this spells disaster increasing the worry with the loss of Trevor Rosenthal.

Jen Langosch joined Bernie Miklasz to talk about the MLB "Little League Classic," Stephen Piscotty back in STL - who goes to Memphis, what happens with playing time, Cardinals starting rotation struggles, the bullpen and where is John Gant?

Aaron Donald continues to be a no show at Rams camp, but as Bernie Miklasz says just another day in the world of Stan Kroenke and Kevin Demoff.

Bernie Miklasz opens the show talking about the Cardinals splitting the series with the Pirates after winning the first two, the rotation going sour causing the bullpen to be damaged as well.

The 2017 Cardinals have not been consistent when it comes to performance, however, they have had two areas they've struggled in all year and that is on the road and in the division and Bernie details how it continued last week in Boston and Pittsburgh.

With Waino already down, and Mike Leake regressing in each month since the beginning of the season, Bernie is ready for the Cardinals to show their "depth" and "prospects" that they've touted for so long.

The Cardinals only road to the postseason is no longer in the division. With the D-Backs and Rockies recent struggles, Bernie Miklasz discusses the open path in the NL Wild Card that has been created.

Stephen Piscotty was recalled from Memphis as the "26th man" last night, and all indications are he will stay but what does that mean for Pham and the OF? And who goes back the other way? Bernie dives into it

Ask Bernie - Scariest animal to jump on the field of a sporting event?...who'd you rather when a Super Bowl - Chiefs or Bears?...Again, why an extension for Mo and Matheny?

Bernie wraps up the show pushing back against those who cite an "easy remaining schedule" for the Cardinals as reason for optimism. He details their struggles in the division as a reason it should be tamed.

The Cardinals and Pirates will continue their 4-game series tonight with Carlos Martinez on the mound for the Cardinals vs. Pirates Righty Trevor Williams. Bernie talks about how now is as good of a time as ever for Martinez to start dominating again and correcting his "paradoxical season"

Ask Bernie - Looking forward to the Eclipse? Worst Food Ever? Parayko or Fabbri under more pressure heading into 2017?

Barrett Sallee joined Bernie Miklasz to talk about a piece he wrote on CBSSports.com talking about overrated coaches and how some feel Nick Saban is overrated, also they discussed Brian Kelly's hot seat at Notre Dame, the quiet return of Heisman Lamar Jackson, AND don't sleep on Clemson.

Bernie and Wheels did a crossover discussing the Waino situation, and why it is sad but the Cardinals have to make a "grown up decision"

Bernie says "I am not sure how anyone could be skeptical over what he's done so far. He was thrown into the fire by a terrible franchise. Have you seen any Rams or Browns quarterbacks lead their weak teams out of the wilderness? And stop worrying about how much he's getting paid because he's earned it"

Once again, the Cardinals offense was led by Dexter Fowler 2 for 3 night with 2 RBI, a triple, and 2 walks, last night as the Cardinals got one of their biggest wins of the season. With that and his recent success, Bernie touts Dexter Fowler for reinventing himself as a hitter, and that reflects well on his talent and mindset.

Dan Shulman joined Bernie Miklasz to talk about the Pirates and Cardinals "MLB Little League Classic," the Cubs failing to runaway with the NL Central, the Cardinals and their chances, and is the NL Central "mediocre."

Bernie wraps up hour two by talking about the closer situation and why it's NOT a good idea for the team to go with the "closer by committee" approach but instead give the job to Tyler Lyons for now.

It didn't look pretty early as the Cardinals fell behind 2-0 and then 5-1 by the end of the 3rd inning but the Cardinals picked up Adam Wainwright offensively. Bernie details the win, the Cubs loss, and Doug Marrone opening up the Jaguars QB competition.

Adam Wainwright is headed back to St. Louis for examination, today, after allowing 5 earned runs in third start back from the DL, Bernie talks about how it is tough to see as a fan of Waino. BUT the Cardinals shouldn't have waited this long to make the decision.

Remember that 14-3 stretch for the Cubs right after the All-Star break? Remember how the team had a season high 2.5 game lead in the NL Central after going into the All-Star break 5.5 games back? Well, it's August 18th and the Cubs hold a 1 game lead in the NL Central and Bernie says we MUST stop waiting for the Cubs to "get right" because it may not happen.

Bernie Miklasz revisits the lost to the Red Sox and the crazy 9th inning, but he spins it forward and says that loss now puts pressure on the Cardinals heading into a BIG series vs. the Pirates.

Ask Bernie - Favorite Wrestler...Tito's vodka vs. Sobieski vodka...does Mike Leake or Alex Reyes have trade value?

Ryan Fagan joined Bernie to talk about the Cardinals up and down season, Rosenthal's injury and what the latest set back could mean, the ridiculousness of the Dodgers, and is Stanton staying put in Miami.

Ron Cook joined Bernie Miklasz to talk about the Cardinals visiting the Pirates, what has hurt the Buccos this season, where they are at right now, and why their chances are next to none. They also discuss the trade of Ryan Reaves to Pittsburgh.

We've talked about the recent turnover among longtime head coaches in the SEC a lot. However, outside of the recent Hugh Freeze mess the 2017 offseason didn't see any coaching changes in the conference. But that is almost sure to change in 2018 as programs feel the pressure and Bernie Miklasz details who is on the Hot Seat.

Remember the Cardinals offese averaging 7.9 runs, with a slug .548 and a .964 OPS? Bernie says you knew it wouldn't last but are they reverting back to old ways?

Six QBs were drafted in the first 3 rounds in the NFL Draft this year, and Bernie says if recent history is any indication, for these QBs to make a NFL career for themselves they must see the field and garner some early success.

Wednesdays night loss is as about as tough as one you will find all season long on the Cardinals schedule, as it drops them to 61-59 and back into 3rd place now 2 ½ games back of the Cubs. Bernie details the loss and the setback in the division as well as previewing the big series with the Pirates.

With the performance of homeplate umpire Chris Segal behind the plate, Cardinals fans might quickly forget the team wasted another good start from Lance Lynn. Bernie talked about what really did the team in starting with Matt Carpenter's bad base-running.

Trevor Rosenthal left 9th inning without getting any outs, throwing 8 pitches, and being charged with two runs, including one on Xander Bogaerts' HR. Bernie talks about the problem the Cards face if Rosenthal is down for any amount of time.
