  • Big Fan of Kevin Wheeler

    I’ve been listening to Kevin Wheeler for close to a decade. I really enjoyed his work at 101ESPN, and I was thrilled to see him catch back on with a local station earlier last year. Whenever one of his shows is available in Podcast form, I listen. Sharpest, most level-headed baseball mind out there.

    If Hrabe is not talking baseball, look out. The lack of hockey knowledge immediately stands out, you can tell when someone doesn't care about hockey and only likes the most boring sport on earth baseball.

  • Great resource for Cardinals information

    This is a great recap of those shows, and as an out of town listener, I appreciate the chance to hear the news, interviews and recently the past season recaps. Especially needed in this time w/o games!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Show: Blues Hockey, Lindenwood Upsets #5 Denver & Mizzou Football
Q: What does it say about Lindenwood that they can compete at this level?
It shows that they can compete with top programs and puts Lindenwood hockey on the map.
Full Show: Blues Hockey, Lindenwood Upsets #5 Denver & Mizzou Football
Q: What's been your general takeaway on what we've seen so far from the Blues?
A little inconsistent, but the defensive play has been surprisingly solid overall, highlighted by a big win against Dallas.
Hour 1: Chiefs Season and MLB Playoffs
Q: Is there any reason to think that this can be a good Cowboys team this season?
Yes, if I'm right about defense being less predictable and less consistent than offense, then what they have is a very good offense and a defense that's probably not going to be this bad all year.
Hour 1: Chiefs Season and MLB Playoffs
Q: Are the Packers the best team in the NFC?
I don't think so. I think that Detroit is still the best team in the NFC.
Hour 2: Kevin Acee of San Diego Union-Tribune on Mike Shildt retirement
Q: Do you think that the Padres' Mike Shildt was in the end largely the same as Cardinals' Mike Shildt?
Acee responds that while he can't speak to any changes made, Shildt was largely the same across both positions.
