Joe, Keith and Ron take no chances in this week's podcast. From Joaquin Andujar and John Tudor, the guys discuss the current Cardinals and their recent upswing. Will the fans come back? Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe are eligible for the HOF. But it's complicated. The Blues have a big decision to make on a key player and the clock is ticking so loudly Jack Bauer can hear it. The NFL Schedule is out, and the Chiefs are regularly irregular. The NCAA is considering a 16-team football playoff for reasons that would make Gordon Gekko proud while tinkering with basketball rules. St. Louis CITY continues to spiral snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against arch-rival Kansas. And will Pope Leo be the one to finally settle on one version of Wins Above Replacement?

Joe, Doug, Keith and Ron attempt to recover from one of the most devastating playoff losses in Blues history and transition to other topics. Before they go, they discuss how the timing of the game and how the epic magnitude of Game 7 may have led new fans to the Blues. And with the core back and money to spend, the future looks bright for the Blue Note. The Cardinals show surprising grit as they transition from one talent cycle to the next and have oddly surprising success against Paul Skenes. Joe and Ron decide that Bob Baffert is transitioning toward Bond villain status (Walken in View to a Kill, specifically) and Doug is headed to the PGA Championship which will hopefully have better traffic procedures than last year. Keith doesn't mince words describing the state of CITY SC and the guys salute Greg Popovich as he transitions into his next phase after coaching.

It's the episode with the Last Call for the ages. (Trust us) Before that, Joe, Doug, Keith, and Ron discuss the extra-physical first round playoff matchup between the Blues and the Jets. The Cardinals continue to confound prompting references to Sarah McLachlan and Robert Palmer. The NFL Draft turns out to be one that will be remembered for years and some of the stories are stranger than fiction. The gang takes on the Kentucky Derby from mint juleps to the return of Bob Baffert. Finally, St. Louis CITY SC can score goals in Los Angeles and, nowhere else. It's time for a three-day bender with a much younger companion...or is it? Join us for an episode from The Local House Bistro celebrating its one-year anniversary!

Now on YouTube! The Sportsists join the video age and check in on the Blues first-round playoff matchup against the Jets. With apologies to the late Dennis Green, it's starting to look like the Cardinals are who we thought they were. The Tennessee saga with Nico is over for now - was it all just a trade? The NFL draft is this weekend with potential drama around a two-way player, a potentially over-confident quarterback and is Andy Reid taking on traits of Al Davis? St. Louis City SC has good news and bad news -- they stop the highest scoring attack in MLS, while not scoring a goal themselves. And Keith is not quizzed on Country music legends this week.

Joe, Doug, Tom and Ron discuss the St. Louis Blues clinching a playoff berth and look ahead to round one against Winnipeg. The Cardinals are keeping things .500 and are surprisingly fun to watch. Doug leads a recap of The Masters and gives a historical perspective for Rory McIlroy's dramatic win. NIL madness descends to chaos the day before the Tennessee spring football game. What could possibly be next? We're afraid to ask. St. Louis CITY SC scores -- just not enough, unfortunately. All this plus Brooks & Dunn, Nelly and three different stories -- it's a boot scootin' episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast!

Porter Waggoner would be proud of this episode. Joe, Doug, Tom, and Ron discuss the Blues' playoff prospects and look at what has changed since the Four Nation break that ignited the season-defining stretch run. Don't sleep on the contribution of Jobu. The Cardinals have high highs and odd lows. And Miles Mikolas just gave up another 100 mph exit speed hit off of the Green Monster. Then, the Sportists make a stop in Augusta for a tradition unlike any others as Masters weekend hits full swing. The gang looks back on the Final Four, the current state of college basketball, the future of college sports, the struggles of St. Louis City SC, and concerns regarding the NCAA transfer portal.

Joe, Doug, Keith and Ron take on the topics of the day while name dropping throughout the episode. Damn the torpedo bats, as The Sportists salute Missouri coaching legend Jim Pendergrass after his most recent state basketball championship. The Blues refuse to lose and add an elite college player, the Cardinals show that they can win even if fans don’t show, The Tush Push survives in the NFL … for now. March Madness gives us a chalky Final Four, there is no “O” in CITY SC, and the college football Transfer Portal strikes again. Ever wanted to sit in the green seats at Busch Stadium? You may never have a better opportunity than now. All this plus Kellie Harper trends up and Rafael Devers trends decidedly down - but feels good - on this edition of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

The Sportists predict the season outcomes for the St. Louis Cardinals in over/under style.

How will injuries, the six-man rotation, and the upcoming front office regime change impact the product on the field and the attendance in the stands? Hear fearless forecasts and references to Dominican basketball, the Cliffhanger game on The Price is Right, and accidents getting off a bus. The Blues are the hottest team in the NHL- can they ride the wave to the playoffs? March Madness is not that mad at all. In fact, it borders on March Mildness. And St. Louis City SC has a night to forget in Philadelphia. All this and kitchen mittens on the St. Louis Sportist Podcast.
