Cat said that the guys on the message board used to love Tim, but Tim denies it. Cat hit all 4 of the Quad Cities last night---1, 3, 6, and 3…….One of the cities was built on top of another …… It’s a cute little stadium up there. The have a little corn patch if foul territory and when they introduce the players the run out of the corn…..One guy refused to run out of the corn, and he ran out of the dugout…..Driving back, Cat was upset to find out that the Cardinals network has holes in it…..Doug said that Cat is an angry little guy after his trip……Cat said you have to have a Bandit Dog----a hot dog wrapped in bacon with cheese and chili on top…….Brett Wallace seems to be enjoying himself……He doesn’t look like any other third baseman Cat has ever seen…..Pete Kozma started the game by booting 2 balls…..The guys try to figure out what river is right there by Quad Cities……

Doug thinks the Cardinals are not going to trade a potential starting position player or starter for a situational lefty reliever….Bernie wrote that Bill DeWitt and Jeff Luhnow are protecting the young Cardinals to make sure they survive in the wild and eventually come up here and strive….. Tim said that right now, Tony LaRussa should be manager of the year or at least in the top 3 because he has the team tied for the wild card lead even with all the injuries in this “rebuilding” year…..Tony has done a great job, and is asking for a little assistance, and if the team doesn’t get him a reliever, people will be upset……You have to go back to the Scott Rolen deal for the last major trade deadline deal……Tim said if you have a team that has overachieved this much you need to do something now to help…..Doug and Cat think the type of pitcher the Cardinals are looking for can be found off a scrap heap. Ron Villone has been their best lefty reliever this year, and he was a bum when they got him…….Tim said every year, the Cards say they aren’t doing anything in the off season so they can do something at the deadline, and vice versa.

Ken Griffey Jr., has been traded to the Chicago White Sox pending Griffey’s approval of the trade…..The guys want to trade Nick Stavinoha, Chris Duncan, Adam Kennedy, and Rico Washington to Boston for Manny…..Doug wonders how many left-handers have really killed the Cardinals, and he wonders if the team really needs a left-handed reliever. Kyle McClellan has been great against lefties……Doug said in this era when all starting pitchers seem to get hurt, the Cards can’t give away any of their prospects who are projected to be starters because they need them.

The guys who run the Cardinals are not ignorant, and if they could get someone without giving up too much, they will do it…..The guys want a giant turkey drumstick, and they speculate that maybe that is what John Mozeliak is holding out for because he really wants a turkey drumstick….. If the Cardinals had a reliable closer this year they would be in first place by far……


Rick Hummel:
Rick said that he thinks Cardinals fans will be disappointed at 3pm because the team won’t do much before the trade deadline…….Cat said that he would do anything they can to keep Adam Wainwright as a starter…….Rick said the Rockies can do another move by Aug 31 to move Fuentes if they fall out of the race…..The Tigers are kind of on the fence so a Renteria deal is possible……They traded Pudge Rodriguez because they needed the bullpen depth……Chris Perez will get a shot to close next year because not too many guys throw as hard as he does. Rick thinks he will be a September call up if not sooner if he pitches well…..Bernie wrote that the Cardinals over value their own prospects, and Rick said that is probably true especially if no move is made……Jess Todd wasn’t highly regarded in the beginning of the year, but has a lot of wins…..Jaime Garcia is valued higher than Todd…..

There is a report that Green Bay has offered to give Brett Favre $20 million to stay retired…..They haven’t been able to find anyone to trade him to, and they don’t want to trade him to the Vikings or Bears…..Cat said he can’t imagine the Packers not bringing Brett in to compete for the job and saving the $20 million……Tim thinks the move is to bring Brett back and trade Aaron Rodgers……Tim compared Favre wearing a Vikings uniform to Stan Musial wearing a Cubs uniform…..

Iggy said he could probably work it so the whole show could go to Hedo……Everyone wears clothes at dinner, and Cat has been guaranteed that he doesn’t have to see Iggy naked…..The average age of women at Hedo is late 30s to early 40s…...Iggy said that last time the station went down there a group of girls went there from Toronto because they saw online that a radio station was going……

The guys ask for calls from people who would be interested in going to Hedonism if The Morning After plans a trip, and no one calls at first so they claim any women who call in can win a free trip, and a bunch of women start calling…..Cat will have to fight guys if they hit on his wife at Hedo…..

Caller Glenn called in and said that Hedo is the biggest joke in Jamaica, which ticked Iggy off, and Iggy called him an idiot and a loser……Glenn said that he’s never seen worse looking people in his life, and the rooms are horrible……


Leftover Riff Raff:
Doug is a future "Hot" Hall of Famer……When Howard was negotiating with Tim to write for InsideStl.com, he was also talking to Cat and Doug about writing for JimHayes.com …….Greta Van Susteren’s mouth doesn’t mouth right…….If you live in a flood plain you should keep some water wings in a fanny pack incase of emergency……There was a guy on hold so he could listen to the show……Cat is worried that if he were in Jamaica a large naked man would reach across him to get some chickpeas at the salad bar….. Swingers are now called life stylists……Tim thinks everyone’s wives would be on board for a trip to Hedo.

Cat only got 3 hours of sleep to prep for Cat’s Pajamas today…….Doug got a call from 000-000-0000 and it was a telemarketer…..Tim said that Mike Bush used to call people and thank them for watching Sports Plus.

Doug’s family played the card game war last night because the little one wanted to play….The guys can’t figure out what nougat is. Cat thinks there are toenails are in it…. Salmon wear sweaters……

The guys discuss different game shows…….Tim’s ex-girlfriend who had a huge rack was on a reality TV show before, and Tim freaked out that it would be like The Real World and his girl would hook up with other dudes. She never told him it was a game show, and he told her that he didn’t want her to do it, and she ended up getting sick and couldn’t go on the show…….

The Atlanta Braves are really struggling….They looked like RBI Baseball when you overthrew first base and the ball would bounce into the outfield and the bases would clear…..Anytime you are beat by Yadier Molina’s speed, you are having some problems. ……The Braves were in the race till they were besieged by injuries…….

Chris Carpenter is starting tonight, and Doug doesn’t think they are rushing him back….Dyar Miller said that Carpenter is one of the most reliable guys in accessing his own starts, and Cat thinks the team made a decision based on how Carp felt about his last start……Tim thinks the team is running Carpenter out there because the trade deadline is tomorrow…..In a perfect world, Carpenter would get one more rehab start, but the Cardinals aren’t living in a perfect world……Cat said, in a sense, Atlanta’s current lineup is almost like facing a triple-A lineup……If he goes out and has a solid performance, it will be a huge lift…..

The guys discuss the Cubs vs. Brewers series, and they like the Brewers’ pitching, but their defense lacks. Ryan Braun’s defense in left field is very weak, and he cost them 3 runs last night……Doug thinks they are a very dangerous team and can’t be counted out.


Cat’s Pajamas:
Brendan Ryan wasn’t locked in last night. When he was up to bat and the ball got away he waved the runner on first on to go to second, but the ball was very close to the catcher so the runner went back to first and didn’t listen to Ryan……..The Sept. 11 conspiracy people have very credible spokespeople-----Charlie Sheen and Rosie O’Donnell…..Cat contacted his camera guy to come on the show, but he won’t come on. He said he couldn’t come on because he was afraid of the exposure that a radio program with a listenership of 14 could do. He said that there was a bullet hole in his car and someone cut a bolt of a tire on a trailer he was pulling one time……Cat said he did some research, and the buildings did look like they were imploded…..You can go on YouTube, and see this giant object that flies out of the building just before the second plane hits……After Cat read the conspiracy theorists last night and there are a lot of holes in their arguments and holes in the original stories…….Cat said he thinks the plane that hit the Pentagon could’ve been shot down by a plane…..The conspiracy theory that Cat wants to look into is how does Carson Daly still have a show on National TV? Cat thinks he is part of a government agency sending messages to Aliens…….Doug said he is like a major leaguer who had a big year and got a 5 year deal.

Mike Shannon:
Mike said that the Cards are catching Atlanta at the right time, with all of their injuries to key players, and with them trading Mark Texiera……Chris Carpenter will start tonight, and Mike is keeping his fingers crossed for him. He hasn’t pitched since opening day of 2007……Mike said Carp is very strong mentally, but no one knows how far he will be able to go physically…..Mike said if he had two more rehab starts, it would be like having two more practices and Carpenter would be a little more sure of what he could do. …….Adam Wainwright is throwing his fastball and changeup at 100%, but his curve isn’t complete yet……18 guys have had this same type of injury, and Adam has talked to them about how they came back from it…..This is something that he just has to build back up from------he had to get the tendon healed and now build his arm strength….. Mike thinks that if they throw him in the mix, he will probably be a reliever because that makes more sense…….Mike said with a laugh that he would take a relief pitcher, a big bat, and another starter before the deadline……Brendan Ryan is still a youngster who has a lot to learn, but he has the capability of making things happen. He has to work harder to make himself an impact player…..Yadier Molina’s transformation into a hitter has been amazing. Mike said that he can focus more on improving his hitting because his catching is so great now……This is a big challenge for Jason Isringhausen. The team is better if Izzy is the closer, but the “proof is in the pudding” and he has to earn the closer role again……Mike said he would wait to see if Kyle Lohse will finish strong before trying to sign him……

Cardinals fans are debating whether the team should trade Kyle Lohse because you know you likely aren’t going to be able to resign him. On the flipside, the team is only 1 game out of the wild card……The guys agree that the team needs to try to win it all this year, so they would keep him…..Doug doesn’t think that it is written in stone that the Cards won’t be able to sign him…..Tim said he wouldn’t resign him because he is having a career year and will command absurd dollars and a four year deal…..Tim said that if the Cardinals went after CC Sabathia, it could be a franchise changing signing, but it would take big bucks that the team has never invested in one player before.


Jim Carey had to dress up like Fidel Castro at his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy’s sister’s wedding in St. Louis over the weekend…..She got married to Blues’ player Dan Hinote.

Four women have been arrested in the Ozarks in a prostitution ring, and three of them were pregnant----one was 8 months along, one was 6 months, and one was 3 months pregnant…..They were advertising prostitution on a website and were arrested at a Lake Ozark hotel……


Leftover Riff Raff:
Tim really enjoys coconut…..July 27 was the 4 year anniversary of the show……Cat is going to one of the Quad Cities (either 1, 3, 6, or 3)……Charlie Sheen may be an idiot, but he was hilarious in Two and a Half Men……Steve Kline can’t be at the girls and cougars next door party Friday night because he will be in an eight day job interview with the Giants, but Mike Shannon will be there…..Joey Lawrence was in Summer Rental with John Candy…….Girls from the GND contest believe they are models….

Producer Joe had too much big boy stuff to do yesterday so he could only get 2 guys who work at the station for guests…..

The guys wonder what happened to Juan Gonzalez? He hit well the first couple weeks of spring training. He probably isn’t in the plans anymore after the guys broke the Manny Ramirez interest…..The Cards don’t need Gonzalez anymore because now they have Joe Mather….Tim isn’t that impressed with Mather, and Doug thinks he will strikeout a lot, but Cat thinks he deserves respect for sliding under the fence at the ballpark…..Cat said if the Cards get Manny, he will take Mather under his wing and help him become a star….. Manny is great with the younger players…….

Cat hopes making Izzy the closer works…..The minor league coaches said that Chris Perez had to adjust to not being out there every night, and he lost his groove so if Izzy doesn’t come through, they should try Perez……

Martin Kilcoyne:
Martin joins the guys from Rams camp……Jay Glazer was at camp for two days lifting weights with the team…..Martin couldn’t lift with Rene because of the rivalry; he might have to drop a weight on his head…..All the national media guys are stopping at Rams park on their way to Green Bay……H was upset because he went to the karaoke bar up there and it took an hour to get to sing his song because all the young ladies got to sing first……Jim Thomas is the real journalist, and everyone else is just worried about the food……At lunch the players made Donnie Avery stand up to sing a song and he didn’t know any so they made Chris Long get up there. David Vobora got up there and they sang together “You Lost that Loving Feeling”……

Martin talked to Linehan in the parking lot, and he said that Steven Jackson not being there yet doesn’t bother him much yet, but he said to ask him in a couple weeks if he isn’t there yet…….Martin doesn’t know what gets him into camp though because the Rams have told him they aren’t going to negotiate till he’s in camp…..There is a potential deadline of next Friday that Jackson needs to be in camp or he won’t be a free agent next year if the current collective bargaining agreement is voided…..There is no question that Jackson is underpaid, but the Rams have offered him a contract that would put him in the top 4 running backs in the league…….It wouldn’t make sense to trade Jackson this year because the team needs to win this year…..


Cat used to be a radio DJ in college. He was a station manager when he was a senior, and he used to keep the giveaways…..Doug had to use records when he was in school. He is 75 years old…..

Bernie Miklasz:
Bernie is back from vacation in Baltimore…….Cat said, “we want Manny, we want Manny, we want Manny!”…….Cat said we can trade Mike Parisi and Rico Washington for Manny, and Bernie said it’s too late because now we can’t package Anthony Reyes and Chris Duncan…….Bernie doesn’t think the Cardinals will really trade any of their prospects, but he thinks only Colby Rasmus is untouchable……Chris Perez is not a Dave Duncan pitcher…..They want sinker/slider pitchers who pitch for contact. They don’t care about strikeouts…..Perez is a power pitcher, and Bernie said the Cardinals should trade him if they are going to try to change how he pitches because they are having such a problem finding a closer this year, but still won’t use Perez…..Cat talked to Perez in Memphis, and he wouldn’t come out and say is, but he is baffled that he didn’t get a call to close during this bullpen meltdown…..Bernie doesn’t see the Cardinals making any moves so he would be surprised if they made a move before the deadline……It makes sense to put Izzy back in the closer role to see if he can handle it, and if Carpenter and Wainwright come back healthy, the team may look smart by not giving away their prospects……The Rockies now may end up trading Fuentes after all, but the guys just don’t know who the Rockies fancy from the Cardinals……Bernie said he would have to know what was offered and what was turned down before he goes marching in the streets if the Cards don’t make a trade by Thursday…..Bernie said that as far as being ready for the season, he isn’t worried about Steven Jackson, but he thinks he is a hypocrite lecturing fans about selling tickets and not being loyal but holding out when he has a contract in place……Steven’s sister Rhonda drove his first agent nuts, and it looks like she did that to his second one too…….


Tim is always sick, and he went to the doctor who said that he had a cold. Cat said he went to doctor.com and typed in Tim’s symptoms and it said that Tim is a girl……Cat said when he comes into the office, the staff calls him Sally…..Doug watched an infomercial on vacation when it was raining all the time for a guy who was selling a colon cleanser…..This guy passed a nest of tape worms and decided it was time to cleanse his colon……Cat said Tim would feel better if he bowed his neck…..


WWE Wrestling Recap:
Cat wants to know if they have to do this segment…..New competitor Jamie Noble demanded a title shot……Jamie has been around for a while, but he used to wear a mask and pretend he was an Asian…… “I don’t know who the GM is, but he/she needs to recognize that Jamie Noble is a champion.”……You can hear Jamie’s West Virginia accent….Cat thinks he sounds like a housewife in Alabama who doesn’t like the look of new neighbors who may be Jewish……


Ryan Seacrest was bitten by a shark, and he thought it was a stick, but he saw it swim away….It felt like a splinter…..Cat said that sharks don’t like the taste of people, but if blood touches the water there is a feeding frenzy……


Leftover Riff Raff:
Cat is a big boy……The guys don’t know how to pronounce Mequon…..They make hot dog jokes everyday to make fun of Mike Golic on the Mike and Mike show…… Martin has been walking around Mequon doing his Angry Martin…….La Roi Glover would be the Ram to shush Martin…….The worst night of the year is the night before your vacation is over……Producer Joe flipped off Cat for accusing him for having crabs…..Doug is very loyal to the girl next door parties…..Tim doesn’t have a tumor; he went to the doctor and just has a cold…..Cat said you can get a big Z-pack from a doctor and you can put it on and gain instant baseball knowledge…..

Doug Vaughn is back from vacation and said it rained a lot in New York…..Doug’s family brings satchels to restaurants to bring rolls home with them…..Doug yelled at his son who stayed in St. Louis for having a couple parties, and his son said “but father I love you”……..There was a big message on Tim’s website: “Party at my house: Vaughn’s son”……..Cat thinks it’s a minor upset that no one stole anything from the Vaughn family……People in the Albany airport told Doug they love the show…..The guys can’t figure out what happened to the airport in St. Louis. There is no life, and everything is closed……

Cat had to snap at his camera man in Memphis to get the live shot done, so then they were chatting, patching things up…..His phone rang and he said “Oh no, it’s them.”…… Cat thought he meant FSN was calling so he took his phone, and the number calling was 000-000-0001…….Cat took the phone and answered and heard a lot of other voices at the other end saying hello, hello, hello, hello……He told Cat an elaborate story that aliens were behind September 11…… “They” have been intimidating him every time he speaks out about it, and they re-arrange his furniture……The Hopi Indians have known about this for years…..A Hell’s Angel told him if he wants to live, he needs to leave this alone……Cat told him that he dares them to move his furniture……Hopi Indians and Aliens clean Cat’s apartment, and he doesn’t have to pay them….. You just dial 000-000-0001, and ask for Gorneck……They use an alien cleaner from another world…….They drive a black van…….Cat said if aliens were here and among us, they would be on YouTube……Doug said there is stuff like that on there but you just don’t know what to believe……

The website that Doug got screwed on with his hotel in New York was actually hotelbook.com/en…….Doug ended up spending $500 instead of $80…….Doug’s house was messed up when they got home, but he said that it wasn’t necessarily from his son having parties; Doug said that his son could make a huge mess by himself……Doug’s son eats in front of the TV and just leaves the plate in the living room; he also changes clothes and just leaves them on the floor……


Panic has set in because of the Cardinals losing streak, and they haven’t made any deals …….Cat got upset when the guys were talking about the leadership on the Cardinals. He said how could they have done so great this year with no leaders? Just because they have hit a bump in the road doesn’t mean they don’t have leaders on the team.


Buster Olney:
Buster doesn’t see the Cardinals getting much before the trade deadline…….It seemed that the Cardinals were the team in the lead to get Fuentes, but the Rockies have now decided that they are going to be buyers and not sellers……The Orioles want a major league ready shortstop in a trade for George Sherrill, and the Cardinals don’t have that to offer…..The Blue Jays don’t think they will end up trading AJ Burnett…….Buster thinks the only way the Cardinals could get Sherrill is by having another team involved because they want a shortstop so bad……Buster wasn’t surprised by the Cards bringing Chris Carpenter back so soon because he has experience coming back from injuries……Before the season, Buster picked the Cubs to go to the World Series, but now he would pick the Brewers…..Other GMs think the Cards are making the right move by not trading their young guys…….The Blue Jays GM said that he is not moving Holliday, and they are actually working on an extension……Buster doesn’t think Manny Ramirez and Tony LaRussa would really mesh if the Cardinals traded for him…….


The guys think Steven Jackson’s holdout will cause fans who weren’t upset with Jackson before to now be against him…..Should Steven had been traded before the draft?.....The Rams traditionally treat their stars well, and Doug thinks Steven should get to camp knowing that……Kurt Warner came to camp without a deal before and the Rams gave him a big deal…..Doug doesn’t blame a player for trying to renegotiate, but doesn’t think a player should hold out if they are under a current contract……Jackson’s former agent said he wishes Steven and his sister Rhonda good luck when he resigned, which makes Tim think that she is meddling in his business……


Derrick Goold:
Derrick thinks it’s creepy that Tim knew he was born in 1975……Derrick is with Manny right now, and he is teaching him how to get cell reception in the green monster…..Doug wondered if Iraq has an independent league…….Cat thinks Manny coming to St. Louis would be a perfect match…..He is a tremendous talent, but goofy and always good for copy for the paper….. Derrick said the more he talks to people, the more it seems the Cards aren’t going to make any deals before the deadline…..They just don’t want to trade away their prospects …….Derrick thinks that there is going to be pitching on the market this year that will command big time contracts, and the Cards need to be in play because they are taking money off the books next year…..Doug really wants Manny in St. Louis, but Derrick thinks Manny does this every year and nothing ever happens….



Leftover Riff Raff:
Maybe Tim could have Traveler next Door……..Tim is still sick, and Doug wonders if he has a tumor…..Cat said that the Cards could SOAR with Manny Ramirez…..Caller Dan suggested the Cardinals invest in a witch doctor and voodoo dolls……..Cat wonders what Martin is eating in Wisconsin----ribs for breakfast with cheese sauce?…….Cat sent Bo Hart a text Friday night saying his wife did a nice job singing the national anthem, and he said “thanks, that’s the second time you have sent me a text…….Tyler Green is on his way to Memphis…..Mike Lee is right-handed and has all the pitches…….

Jay is somewhat upset that this is his final day filling in for Doug who is coming back from New York…..

Tim thought it was just ridiculous that Ryan Braun hit another home run; it couldn’t be possible……Cat said he felt like Charlie Brown running up to kick the ball and Lucy pulling it away. He just didn’t think it was going to happen again last night…….Cat said that it was miserable in the clubhouse after the game……It’s easy to write the team off, with everything they have been through, but they keep bouncing back…..Cat isn’t that concerned with the offense because he thinks it will come around…..The guys think the Cards will make a move for bullpen help, but it won’t be a big name…..If they were closer, maybe they would try to make a bigger splash, but they will do something to change things up a little……If Carpenter has a good start tonight, it will reenergize everyone when he gets back……

Tim is starting to hate the Brewers…..Jay said he can’t respect Ryan Braun “admiring the dong” and the untucked shirts…..The way Braun stared at it, you would’ve thought it was out of the park, but it barely made it out…..Cat said the Brewers are pretty nice guys so it’s hard to hate them……Tim thinks Milwaukee is the most dangerous team in the National League since they added CC. They have a great lineup and starting pitching now…….

Bryan Burwell wrote in his column today that many Rams players were privately speculating that Steven Jackson may be a training camp holdout…..Jackson has a new agent who is also the agent of the Bears’ Devin Hester who was a no show at Bears’ camp…..Cat said if he had the option of delaying his arrival at training camp, he would ……Tim was worried that Jackson wouldn’t stay here when his contract was up so that is why he was wanting the Rams to draft Darren McFadden…..Claude Wroten missed a drug test and then missed two appeal hearings so that is why he is suspended for a year…..According to InsideStl.com, Wroten would’ve just been fined for 4 games instead of being suspended, but since he didn’t show up for his appeals he got suspended…..

A healthy portion of the money will be donated to charity, and some of the money will be part of a cash prize……World Series of Poker leader Dennis Phillips will play in the tournament……


Tim is flustered about Producer Joe not wanting to share his life stories. He doesn’t want to have a discussion about what happened last night with one of the promo girls after the happy hour…..Tim said he lives vicariously through Producer Joe.


Steve Kline:
Cat was telling a story about Steve Kline to the current relievers about Steve sliding on the tile in the shower to see if Mark McGwire was really on steroids. McGwire would always have a towel around him, and was always kind of keeping his package to himself ……Steve doesn’t speak French when he is shopping out in Montreal…..The guys have to tell Kline what happened in the Cards’ game last night……Mike Matheny had “extra long knuckles” and would dig them into your ribs……Steve is having problems with his kids’ passport so he might not be in St. Louis next week…….Steve leases a house in San Francisco and lets some of the young guys live there for free…..Kline asked if the guys saw Dennis Phillips in the World Series of Poker and asked if he was wearing a Kline dirty hat…….Steve is going to San Francisco because Giants GM Brian Sabean is going to talk to him about coaching. He doesn’t know how long he will be in San Fran, maybe 10 days?….Steve said that Sabean’s exact words were “I’m still paying you so get your butt out here and we’ll show you around.”……Cat gives Steve advice on managing (mocking LaRussa)----when the bullpen blows up, blame the offense and when the bullpen blows up again, blame the umpire…..Canadians aren’t anti-American, they just hate violence even though they love hockey…..Cardinals always go through a little stink around the All-Star break…..Steve has talked to McGwire 3-4 times since he retired….Steve said that Cat should put a red hankerchief on his head and walk around Beale Street saying what up holmes to see what happens. He might be on the TV show The First 48…..Steve took the exit poll: 1. Isringhausen; 2. no; 3. Rams are going to be a bounce back team; 4. it’s not his decision; 5. the WKRP girl? Yes; 6. Halloween; 7. all three in a combo or peanut butter with banana in a waffle…….

Jay Jr. fills in for Doug again, and the guys will have Rick Hummel, Steve Kline, and Jeff Suppan on today.

Jeff is excited to come on the show because last time he got 300 hits on his website….At 7:04, there were 31,372 hits on Suppan’s website. Tim challenges the listeners to go to Soupsgrill.com to increase the hits over 32,000…….Tim was on a Milwaukee radio show last night, and he was playing poker and watching porn as he did the interview. His wife went to White Castles for him while he did the interview..….

Cat was a little miffed last night at CC Sabathia because he didn’t want to do the FSN post game with him……CC told him 2 questions and Cat agreed. Sabathia walked away after 2 questions, and Cat yelled at him, “Hey CC, 2 questions! Remember this face, because this is the last honest reporter you will meet.”……..

Apparently Jim Edmonds sent Al Hrabosky more texts right before the Cubs game was going to start......When Cat said something to Al about it on the air, Jim sent Cat a text with LOL in it…..The guys don’t think Zambrano uses LOL in texts……Edmonds is a 12 year-old in a multi-millionaire’s body…..Why does Edmonds want to sell his house to buy a farm? He doesn’t know how to do anything on a farm…….

The Cat bought a shirt from Suppan’s website, and Jeff didn’t thank him…….Cat thought of Tim doing Joey Lawrence’s Whoa as he was watching CC carve up the Cardinals……

Calvin actually started the post-game press conference with a real question last night. He asked Tony about Looper’s performance……Cat didn’t want to ask anything when he came into the press conference incase it had already been asked (because Cat had to wait for CC after the game and missed some of the press conference) so he waited till afterwards……..

Cat is done asking for a Reactor Watch…..”Buzzy” won’t give Cat one even though the Cat’s Pajamas is sponsored by Reactor…….

Cat wondered if Joe gets paid per guest because they have Steve Kline an again……Cat doesn’t know why they need to have him on again…..

31,690 hits at this point for Suppan’s website; 318 hits since the show started……The guys say that Cards fans are the best in baseball trying to get them to go to the site…..


Rick Hummel:
The Cards are 3 behind the Cubs now and 2 behind Milwaukee so it would be nice to get the win tonight before their road trip……With Pedro’s father passing away, the Cards won’t have to face him, and Lohse will go against Santana so they have pretty good shots against the Mets. You never know which Braves team will show up…..The Cubs going 2-4 against Houston and Arizona make things easier to swallow, but the Cards have allowed the Brewers to jump ahead of them which is discouraging…… Ben Sheets usually struggles against the Cards so that is good news, but the Cards offense has been struggling so they need to pick it up…..Rick said the biggest impact would be a bat, but there aren’t any available…..July 31 isn’t the end all trade deadline because guys will pass through waivers and can be traded then……Colorado has bats, but they are back in it now…….The bullpen has had to figure in too many decisions where there are slim leads that the offense couldn’t expand on…..Rick thinks other teams have interest in Jason Isringhausen, but he doesn’t think they would want him as a closer. He thinks that it’s best for the Cards to keep him here and hope something clicks and he can be the closer again……Rick said no matter what the Cardinals do, he thinks they will contend, but he thinks they need 1 or 2 more pitchers. Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright will be two guys that they probably couldn’t acquire all season…..The Cardinals probably won’t be able to get Lohse back if they don’t do something soon because he will command a lot in the free agent market……The Cards will have a lot of money freed up next year because of the guys coming off the roster…..Brendan Ryan hasn’t been hitting well enough to take over next year as shortstop……

Cat thinks the biggest need is in the bullpen because if they get a bat, it will just replace a bat in the lineup already…..Tim said that a big question is how effective Carpenter and Wainwright will be when they come back.

31,790 is the current total for hits on Suppan’s website……418 people since the start of the program…..Dave Greene challenged all publishes to have at least 20 clicks…..


Jeff Suppan:
The guys had trouble reaching Jeff during the break, and Tim was going to go over to the Westin and give him a piece of his mind…..When the show started, there were 31,372 clicks on Jeff’s website, and as of Jeff coming on there were 32,140, nearly 800 new clicks….Jeff thinks it is great that the guys helped him before with Grant’s Farm directions and now with the website……Cat bought 3 t-shirts from his website and Jeff never thanked him----then Cat got a text during the interview thanking him so it was all good……Suppan is hoping that the A-B sale won’t effect Grant’s Farm because it is one of his favorite places…..Jeff said that watching CC and Sheets pitch is pretty incredible ……He said that he thinks they learned a lot from last year, and now the confidence level is up more throughout the team….They are trying to play more consistent….Jeff loves coming back, and St. Louis is one of the few cities where he will rent a car and cruise around, maybe stop by Ted Drewes…..Jeff said that he is going to F15teen for lunch, and Tim gave him some suggestions on what to eat…..Jeff keeps sending Cat texts so he can read them on the air---“Thank you for lunch”……Cat asked if Jeff still prank called people, and Jeff said he hasn’t since he was 9 years-old……When the other 9 year-olds would ask him if they were on the radio, he would say no, I am the unknown DJ…… There are now 32,190 hits on his website…..More than 1/30th of the hits on his website came from this morning…..Cat wants to go to the West Coast and go to Soup’s Grill and say “my bill is on Jim Edmonds”………Jeff got disconnected, and called back saying they don’t need to hang up on him if they want to get rid of him…..Jeff said his favorite ballpark is the new Busch Stadium, and Tim said he is very disappointed in the Cards’ stadium…. Jeff did a Macho Man Randy Savage impersonation….



Leftover Riff Raff:
It’s manager, not coach, and it’s LaRussa not LaRusso…….Tim had the Tempura shrimp at F15TEEN 2 days in a row for lunch……”It wasn’t needed for me to go out,” Producer Joe said about not saying something on the air…..Would you want to be in a band called Boy Zone…..Producer Joe wouldn’t come on the show because they were late for break…..Suppan will be tickled pink because of how many people have gone to his site……..Cat had a report that Suppan and CC were riding a roller coaster together yesterday at Six Flags……Cat gets his information from puppets.com……

Doug is still out of town so Jay is in again.

Tim has a summer cold, and got a Z pack from his doctor yesterday…..Cat broke down how you get a cold in the summer yesterday, but Tim didn’t trust him…..Cat said the same number of people who have seen the Loch Ness Monster have had summer colds…..Cat is now going to use the excuse from now on---“that was Buzz, not me”………

The guys are jealous of Martin for never getting married, and for his great jobs, and buckets of money……Most people aren’t as happy with their wives as Tim and Cat are with their wives……The percentage of people who are legitimately happily married is probably not real high, but the guys try to convince Tim that most guys would be upset if their wife left them…..Tim said that if a girl tries to force you to get married, you should leave her……West County women want to be married, not necessarily to the person they are with, they just want to be married….

Tony LaRussa yelled at Derrick Goold last night, and the guys played the sound from FSN……Derrick will be on the show in the 8 o’clock hour…..

Doug Vaughn:
Doug isn’t coaching little league baseball in Cooperstown; he is just a fan….Tim thinks it sounds like Dante’s Inferno……It has rained every single day on his trip……..Doug searched the internet for weeks for a cheap hotel and found one for $40, and the guys questioned if it would really be that great of a deal when he got up there……When he got to New York, the hotel was $420 a night. Doug and his wife argued that they had reserved one for $40 and no one knew what they were talking about. Doug called the website, and they said to pay what the hotel asked and the website would argue for them later…..Finally, the hotel agreed to give them the corporate rate, but it was still $250 a night…..New York is so incredibly crowded you can’t walk down the sidewalk without bumping into 50 people. You can’t turn around without getting run over…….They saw the Statue of Liberty and all the touristy stuff…..

Doug’s wife stops and talks to everyone she sees, and someone told her there is a neat Hawaiian restaurant near the hotel…..It turns out it was a Hawaiian Tropic restaurant, and a swimsuit contest breaks out while they are eating there……Doug’s 12 year-old son’s eyes are as big as silver dollars….. Doug’s rental car dies every time it idles……He was in the drive thru at McDonalds and it died 12 times…….There are a lot of baby giraffes and raccoons in the house they are staying at because his wife is a furry….Doug was under-whelmed by the baseball Hall of Fame…..About half of it is pictures and memorabilia from today’s teams, and the writers part is just a room in the back…… Doug’s kids wanted something from the gift shop, but they didn’t get anything….Doug has heard from his neighbors that his 18 year-old son who has been left on his own for the first time, has been throwing some parties…..The highlight of his trip is that he saw the hippo episode of the Beverly Hillbillies on the hotel TV……


Derrick Goold:
Derrick got yelled at by Tony LaRussa last night……Lohse had great stuff last night, especially against a lineup like the Brewers……The guys played Tony yelling from last night again…..Derrick said Tony told a joke after he yelled at him, and Derrick thinks that Tony was more upset because of the rivalry of the teams and the Cards could’ve taken the first two games, and now have to face two of the best pitchers in the league….
If they needed these two losses to tell them to make a trade, then what have they been watching? They have 24 losses like this……..Colby Rasmus hurt his knee last night when he checked his swing, and his dad posted on a message board that Colby is done for the year because he tore his MCL……


Cat’s Pajamas:
Strick Nasty gets a free Reactor Watch, but Cat never gets one…..Chris Carpenter starts Friday in Memphis, and FSN will have live coverage from Memphis during the Cardinals vs. Mets game……Joe Mather arrived at stadium by cab, and entered the stadium in the door so Cat asked him if he will stop sliding under the fence to get in. Joe said no because last time he got in that way, he homered……Cat likes listening to the Ryan Howard/ Jimmy Rollins remix of Take Me Out to the Ballgame……P Diddy usually provides inspiration on his YouTube videos…..He said that he was “running on the treadmill, and he was running, he was running, and he has 10 fingers and 10 toes”…….

Joe Strauss:
Joe congratulated Tim on his poker experience because this is the first time he has talked to him since……The Brewers untuck their shirts now when they win, but Strauss doesn’t know why they do it…..Joe said that on TV it didn’t look like an exchange, but more like Tony yelling at a buffoon reporter…..He said it was like Tony didn’t want to talk about the bullpen so he yelled about it so no one else would ask about it…..Joe said the Cards need someone who could close like Fuentes or Sherrill, but they have to give up someone who they think is pretty good……The Cards probably won’t trade Jess Todd because a lot of other clubs are high on him……He actually projects as just a middle reliever according to a lot of people, but most people don’t want to trade him because he was drafted last year and has moved up so quickly…..Joe said that if the team doesn’t make a move by the deadline, a big chunk of the fan base will be pretty upset…..Strauss said that losing games in similar ways night in and night out is starting to wear on Tony, and Joe said that he thinks Tony would like some management types to start answering questions …….Colby Rasmus having a MCL rupture shuts him down for the Olympics, shuts him down from coming up in September, and keeps him from being traded…..Joe thinks the team has to make a move, and if they don’t there will be an uproar from the fans…..


Leftover Riff Raff:
Since the advent of the I-pod, people have been getting summer colds……The baseball Hall of Fame needs someone from Disney to come up and liven things up……Cat could’ve been in a boy band……Brett Favre should have had Greta Van Susteren contact the Vikings so he wouldn’t be investigated for tampering…..Cat felt bad that he missed Celebrity Family Feud……Team 1380 has had everyone on from the Celebrity Family Feud except for someone popular…..

SEGMENT 9--The Ticket Guys Email of the Day---CLICK HERE TO LISTEN

Jay Jr. filled in for Doug again and Austin filled in for Iggy

The guys wonder if the Cardinals will make a move after losing another game last night because of the bullpen…..The bullpen is a recurring problem no matter if the team is hitting or not….Cat still likes Chris Perez, but he had some control problems……George Sherrill of the Orioles is another option besides Fuentes…...Cat thinks the Cards are playing the waiting game to have the price come down so they don’t have to give up their top prospects…..

The guys take calls and they discuss why Ryan Ludwick isn’t in every game even though he is the team’s RBI leader……

The last time Dave Duncan was on, he was very candid, but he said that he thought Cat was going to be a part of the interview…..The guys agree that there is some reason to criticize Chris, but they know Dave doesn’t want to talk about him so they will stick to questions about the pitching staff…..

Buzz Bissinger flipped out again at the College World Series because of a camera….. Security told him to bring his camera bag back to his car, and when Buzz said that he didn’t have a car because he took a shuttle to the game from his hotel, they told him to bring it back to his hotel. Things got heated when he refused to leave the game because he would have missed almost the entire thing, and he was with his 3 sons…..Half a dozen security guys slammed him to the concrete, and his glasses broke at the college sporting event that is supposed to be a family event…..

Jay Williamson:
Jay Jr. thought that Williamson would want to take this weekend off, but he said he can’t. He is on a road trip and has to keep going…..The guys talked to him about how he kept a diary at the British Open on the Post-Dispatch website….He said that the week really flew by fast…..Weather wise, Monday was the best day he was in England, but the course was amazing….He can see how people over there love playing golf…..Jay went over there not really knowing what to expect. He knew he could play but didn’t know how to react. He said he went over there to compete—not to eat fish and chips, and he was very disappointed at his finish…..Jay said he doesn’t know if it was the best decision for him to play abroad instead of in Milwaukee because it would’ve been easier to win money there…..Jay is so sick and tired of people saying that they aren’t going to the BMW Championship because Tiger isn’t playing now. He hopes people can see the big picture and realize that a lot of the top golfers in the world are going to be there….Jay said he is looking forward to getting back to St. Louis, and he may come in studio.

WWE Wrestling Recap:
JBL, who took over for Vince McMahon kept Bautista from having a champion fight….. Wrestler Kane was a friend with Brandon Mudd, and he actually was in the old studios one time.

Dave Duncan:
Last night was a tough loss, but Dave thinks everyone forgets that they just won 5 in a row….The Cards are going to lose some games, and they need to win more than they lose, which the team has been doing……Dave said that when a closer doesn’t do well it is magnified greatly, but that he thinks they have a pretty good record when they have a lead after 7-8 innings this year…..You have to be looking around to see if there is any way to improve the bullpen. You are always doing that no matter how good the bullpen is. Dave thinks there are 3 or 4 guys who could help the team, but you don’t know who could reasonably be traded for….Izzy needs to simplify things, simplify his approach, and work his way back into his role. He wants to get the closer role back tomorrow, so he isn’t focusing on one pitch at a time, and staying relaxed…..Dave said that he thinks Izzy’s pitch selection was bad on Sunday. There is no doubt that the organization would like to see Izzy get his 300th save with the Cardinals, but they aren’t going to give him the opportunity at the expense of the ballclub…..Dave thinks Todd Wellemeyer threw the ball pretty good the other day. You can’t put all 5 runs on Todd’s shoulders because of the defensive play…..We really don’t pitch for strikeouts….Dave said that they pitch to put the ball in play……Wainwright will throw off the mound today for the first time, and Dave doesn’t expect his arm to be too out of shape…..Duncan expects that Carpenter will be back before Wainwright because he is feeling good physically, and his conditioning is there. He will probably throw between 85-90 pitches in his next outing……Most of his pitches were good in his last outing, and Dave expects him to come out of his next outing pushing to get back with the team……Dave said that Carp could be back as soon as after his next start if everything goes well, and he doesn’t expect Chris to need more than 3 total starts in rehab…..Dave has liked Kyle Lohse since he first saw him pitch. Since he has been with the Cardinals, Dave has appreciated his talent even more. He can do many different things to get hitters out, and his mental confidence is where it needs to be. Dave said he likes Lohse a lot, but he doesn’t get into the contract talks……


Leftover Riff Raff:
One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to do something because of emotions…..Jay took a shot at Tim saying he wasn’t very successful in Vegas, and Cat said the shot bruised Tim’s ovary…..Jay Williamson said that you do not go to England for the women ……..When you have a wingy wingy party they ask if you want to start out with 200 or 400 wings…….Tim thinks that Justin Timberlake does a great job hosting SNL and the ESPYs……Tim has a weak stream and would lose to the Cat in a pissing contest…..

HOUR 1:

Jay Jr. filled in for Doug who is still on vacation in New York…..The guys wonder why Tiki Barber is going to be on the show today, and Jay lists a bunch of C guests that have been on the Sports Buffet so that Iggy can get a B guest for the morning show……

Iggy contacted Maggie about getting together to hang out when he is in Orlando…….She lives in Daytona, but that “isn’t too far for Iggy to go to get a little bit of a sniff” according to Jay……

Tickets for the Mizzou vs. Illini game on August 30 go on sale tomorrow, and you can win tickets from InsideStl.com….Will it be the biggest college football game ever in St. Louis?

Cat told the guys that sometimes Tony LaRussa will enter the press conference room after the game, and everyone thinks he is going to start his press conference, but he heads to the back to get a soda. So Cat is worried that sometime Pat Parris will throw it to the podium and Tony will be getting a soda so he offered to get Tony a drink if he needs one and Tony has been taking advantage of the offer…..Cat had a soda waiting for the skipper with Tony written on the cup, and when LaRussa realized that his name was on the cup he almost spit his drink out laughing…..That is the only time that Cat has almost made Tony laugh…..There used to be some tension between Tony and Martin, but now Tony laughs 40% of the time at Martin…..


HOUR 2:

Doug can’t be absorbing the internet while he is on vacation in his cheap hotel….They have one hotel in Cooperstown, and you have to stay in a Bed n Breakfast if you go there according to Tim…..The Bed n Breakfast is being in a house with a bunch of other people so you don’t have a lot of privacy and freedom…..

Chris Carpenter wasn’t pleased with his performance, which made the guys happy that he said that because usually everyone is happy with their rehab starts and the Cards bring them back too soon….In Joe Strauss’ article, Tony said that there is a chance that Carp could pitch this Friday against the Mets…The Cardinals will play in Chicago August 8, 9, and 10, and Tim is wondering if they could do the show from up there…..

Producer Joe left the bar Friday night so he wasn’t too bad on Saturday for the Soccer show……Tim had to explain to Cat what a mega touch machine in a bar is because Joe talked about one from Friday night……

The guys talk about the Andy Dick experience in the cabana in Las Vegas. Cat had
A bottle of booze in the cabana in Las Vegas that you could buy at a grocery store for $25 cost around $400 in the cabana……Producer Joe thinks you have to buy 3 bottles when you have the cabana next to the pool…..The guys never did see Nic Ritchie from TheDirty.com in Vegas…..Cat said that he didn’t have that much fun when he was in Vegas at a pool because it felt like spring break with a lot of drunk people. Cat wondered why he was sitting at that pool when he could’ve been at Blue Man Group…..

Chris Everett was Jay’s first crush, and he is very disappointed that she married Greg Norman….


HOUR 3:

Lance Bass has found love with a “hot” trainer, who is married….However, he has been separated from his wife for three years……”Also in gay news,” Brady Quinn’s photo was used in a gay website ad. The Cleveland Browns have said that Quinn didn’t authorize the website to use his image and that he is not gay---not that there is anything wrong with that……

Derrick Goold:
It looked like Chris Carpenter was cruising along the first few innings, but then he wasn’t able to assert his fastball later I the start and didn’t have his command towards the end…. If Chris can get his pitch count up and show the velocity they want, then he could be back up here in 2-3 starts……Since he is dealing with an elbow injury, it is more predictable than other injuries……The Cards are playing in a lot of close games, and Derrick thinks that Tony is always playing the angles with the bullpen. A lot of teams would have big problems losing a guy like Izzy, but the Cards have been aggressive bringing up different arms and it has been working for the most part……Derrick said if he had his choice of free agents for this team, he would take a left-handed reliever who has closer experience----ideally Fuentes or George Sherrill…..There is a real sense in the clubhouse that everyone wants Izzy to be the closer, but Izzy sabotages himself by wanting to do more than he can…….It would be very hard to get Sherrill, and the Cards aren’t the only team looking at Fuentes and Sherrill….Troy Glaus is swinging more aggressively, and Troy said that he is comfortable because he is seeing the ball well. The tissue on the bottom of his feet is feeling a lot better than last year too when he was in a lot of pain all the time…. Todd Wellemeyer doesn’t have the same break on his slider that he had before he hurt his elbow, and he is well past his career high in innings pitched…..When Carp and Wainwright come back, it looks like Wellemeyer may fit in pretty well in the bullpen….


Leftover Riff Raff:

Tim BBQ’d all weekend and caught a cold….Cat and Austin had a spat before…..The guys wonder if a Tiger’s Blood sno-cone is vegan…..Billy Ocean had a lot of hits, and he should be at Argosy soon…..The movie Orgazmo has caped crusaders…..The worst way to die is to know you are going to drown while listening to one of Tim’s poker stories….The Big Z is a very dependable guy, and he is like a super hero……

Martin is back again for the second day on the “reunion” tour….

Cat was at the FSN truck in the player parking lot and saw someone slide under the fence to get into the stadium. It ended up being Joe Mather, and he said that he slides under every day…….Russ Springer, Jason Isringhausen, and other players were messing around with a crappy slot machine toy, and convinced Cat to try to beat the high score. Even though Cat said he didn’t want to do it because he didn’t want to get shocked or sprayed with water, they made him do it, and he got shocked…….

Joe Strauss indicated this morning that there is movement in the organization towards re-signing Kyle Lohse….Martin thinks there is no way he would sign a 3 year deal, but Cat thinks Lohse would do it. Scott Boras is his agent though, and Boras will probably want something ridiculous like a 7 year deal…….Cat gets the feeling talking to him that he likes St. Louis, and he would go for a 3 year deal…..

Joe Mather was told last night that he was being sent down last night after the game (even though he hit a home run) because the Cards have 18 games in 18 days, and the team needs more pitching for that stretch……The Cards also brought Randy Flores back up and sent down Chris Perez……


Exit Poll:

1. One player who's a realistic acquisition that the Cardinals need to put them over the top? Martin: Fuentes; Tim: Matt Holiday; Cat: Fuentes

2. Worst Cardinal reliever of all time? Tim: Juan Agosto; Martin: Esteban Yan; Cat: Jeff Fassero

3. Should the Blues sign Brendan Shanahan? Martin: yes for leadership; Tim: agrees with Martin; Cat: yes, they need goals

4. Who do you side with---Favre or Packers? Martin: Favre; Tim: Favre; Cat: Favre

5. Lisa Lampanelli would ya? Martin: No; Tim: Yes; Cat: No

6. Food that others find disgusting, but that you like? Martin: Braunschweiger; Tim: White Castle; Cat: Brussel Sprouts



John Mozeliak:
John came on the show and said that the Cat is a whiner and tattle tale……John said that they haven’t had any discussions with Kyle Lohse and for at least the next 10 days they will be focused on the trade deadline…..He said that if they could find a lefty specialist for the bullpen that would be a slam dunk…..Ray King is available……Chris Carpenter will make a start Sunday, and John said that is a big plus for them. He feels good and appears to have all of his velocity back and all of his pitches….John said that they aren’t interested in trading for a starter because Carp and Wainwright are coming back so they would trade for a reliever or bat if they make a move before the deadline…..Wainwright is just working on getting his strength back in his finger……It’s possible that Mark Mulder could make a come back, but it’s important to Mark to see these specialists to know if there is something wrong or not…..Colby Rasmus playing in the Olympics will not impact a decision if he is called up in September or not…..There is always some deal out there that would make sense to move anybody so Mo would not commit to if he would trade or not trade Colby……The guys are truly impressed with the speed John runs on the treadmill. John said he amps up, and he really runs 9.5 on the treadmill…… Cat is usually only in a workout room for about 45 seconds according to John…..

Angry Martin yells a lot and screams “KYLE LOHSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIGNED BY NOW! JESUS! TAKE A BREAK!” 


Exit Poll Results:

1. Holliday with 10 votes, Fuentes with 8

2. Esteban Yan 8 votes 

3. 27-9 Yes 

4. Packers 21-15 

5. 25-11 No 

6. Braunschweiger 5 votes, white castle 4 votes


Leftover Riff Raff:
Martin’s screen name on InsideStl.com is Renes Mustache……Martin wanted to work 12 to 6 everyday but in his negotiations they talked him down to do 12 to 2……Cat said that he isn’t surprised that Martin likes some type of gross pork…..Martin doesn’t like Oysters but Cat said you just need to put a lemming on there and it will slide right down……John Mozeliak works out way harder than Cat….Esteban Yan was 2-2 as a hitter so maybe the cards should get him……John Mozeliak punched Mr. Hayes last night in the elevator…..John can’t answer all the questions in the exit poll because sometimes there are dirty questions…..

HOUR 1:

It’s the reunion show with Martin filling in for Doug who is on vacation…..The guys bring Producer Joe into the studio for the reunion because he was the first guy from the old show to get whacked (September 1, 2006).….Joe Buck wanted all the guys to walk away from the old station when Producer Joe was fired. Buck was outraged……

Martin is wearing the Morning Grind T-shirt, which depicted each of the hosts as something being wrong with them…..Tim’s head is misshaped in the caricature, and Martin’s depiction looks like he needs to wear a helmet….

Billy Packer doesn’t have a cell phone, doesn’t have the internet and once hired a psychic to find the killer in the OJ Simpson murder case…..

Robbie Lawler:
MMA fighter Robbie Lawler joined the guys in studio….He said that he likes fighting and likes to compete and it doesn’t matter what channel he will be on, but he will be on CBS, who got huge ratings when Kimbo Slice fought on the station a while back….. Robbie is the EliteXC middleweight champion….Kimbo definitely needs work on his skills, but he is a natural fighter…..He started Martial Arts when he was young, and started training with Pat Miletich and wrestled when he was in high school….He fought full time when he graduated…..Robbie hasn’t suffered anything nasty or grotesque in his career, and he said that if people don’t like it then they shouldn’t watch it…..Cat said he is impressed with how guys fight when they are on the ground…..Robbie said that he usually trains 5-6 hours a day when he gets a couple weeks out from a fight……

Andy Dick was arrested yesterday for sexually harassing a 17 year-old girl outside of BW3…..He had marijuana on him and some xanex and he allegedly pulled the girls’ shirt off……The guys wonder what he would be doing at Buffalo Wild Wings……


HOUR 2:

Martin didn’t want to ruin his Reese’s Pieces by leaving them in the car so he brought them inside, and Cat thinks he is flavoring his yogurt with them…..

Bob Costas had a bunch of Hall of Famers on his HBO show including Pete Rose, Bob Gibson, and Dave Winfield…..When Bob introduced Rose he said that Pete probably knows the odds of getting food poisoning before an appearance on a show, and Pete called Bob a smartass…..Jim Palmer said that once Pete is reinstated into baseball he would vote for him to be in the Hall of Fame……Dave Winfield said that he doesn’t think Rose will be voted in while he is still alive……The guys agree that cheating the game is wrong, but that using steroids or amphetamines to get ahead is different than gambling, and gambling is worse…..Cat doesn’t think it will be soon, but Pete Rose will be elected into the Hall before he dies…..Pete’s apology has never felt sincere…..

Another issue on Costas Now was whether steroid era players should be in the Hall of Fame…….Mike Schmidt said that players accused of using steroids should be allowed into the Hall of Fame because if he was in the same situation, he thinks he would’ve used steroids……Ken Rosenthal said he would not vote for Mark McGwire for the Hall of Fame, and he said that it is very hard for writers to be able to compare players’ stats now to the players of the past……Tim said that if you have to debate whether someone is a Hall of Famer or not then he should not be elected…..The guys talk about Andre Dawson’s stats and whether he should be in…..Martin said yes because of his fielding combined with his offense…..

Martin loves traveling, and Tim said a good reason to not have kids or to even just not get married is so you can do whatever you want and travel all over……The guys talk about doing the show from Simmons’ station in Austin before the Mizzou vs. Texas game…..



HOUR 3:

Cougar Hunter Jake called in and talked about the Cougar Next Door party last weekend......Doug and Jake were doing “hot laps” around Lush …..One girl came up and promised giving Jake a walk in the park and Doug could chaperone…..

Will Clark:
Will overslept yesterday because he had to watch the game because this one “counts.” …..He said it’s been an exhibition game for 120 years till someone screwed it up…..Will likes watching the All-Star game to see who the fans vote in……Will isn’t sure why the game has lost some of its luster…..He said that if he was voted to play he would be there no matter what…..It’s always a positive to have a tattoo of Andy Dick on your left breast…..Will has been vacationing a lot this summer….He went to Hawaii, a family reunion outside of Kansas City, and is leaving tomorrow for Destin to hang out on the beach for awhile….It’s sad that players leave the ballpark before the All-Star game is even over nowadays….Will said that “for sure” Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame……They got the goods on Pete, and he admitted it, but he shouldn’t be banned for life…..Will doesn’t think that the Hall of Fame has gotten to a point where it is too easy to get in……Will said he played evidently in the steroid era even though he had nothing to do with it….He didn’t know the prevalence of steroid use, but he said that it was obvious when someone hit a ton of homeruns one year after hitting only a handful the years before….Will said he thinks its worse to use steroids than bet on the game because it is hard to manipulate the outcome of the game……It’s almost been 8 years since the Cardinals got Will in a trade right before the deadline…..Will said that he had told the GM to get him out of Baltimore, and he told him that the only team who wanted him was St. Louis. Will said that he told the GM do you want me to book the flight or are you going to do it?.......Martin said he was warned by the media in Baltimore that Will was an ass, and Will said, “If you treat me like an ass, I’ll treat you like an ass”…..



Leftover Riff Raff:
Talking to Producer Joe is like looking directly into the sun…..Martin is afraid to touch the keyboard…..Iggy set up Adrienne Barbeau as a guest so he has a chance to go backstage at Bruce Springsteen……Tim said when he listens to the Roll Home, Bernie and Randy break at 8 minutes after the top of the hour……. Martin doesn’t hang out with Elliot Davis……. Producer Joe is wearing a heavy sweater even though it is so hot……Tim thinks it’s hot when women flaunt being a cougar because they are after what dudes are after…..Martin broke out a Kip Wells impersonation…….The middle fingers are flying in from the studio……

HOUR 1:

KSDK’s Rene Knott filled in for Doug today…..Tim’s Captain’s Log goes like this---7:05: talk about me; 7:10: talk about me; 7:15: talk about me, etc……..Cat said that when he wanted Jim Edmonds to come on the FSN pre-game show when he came back in town, he replied right away and came on, but Tim can’t get him to come on the radio show……

Cat talked about the All-Star game----JD Drew as MVP—hillarious; Dan Uggla’s 3 errors—hilarious…..The guys couldn’t figure out if the Boss was crying or not as he was going around the field last night before the game…..All the players coming out and giving him a smooch on the cheek like he was a mafia boss was cool…..Rene said it was hard to walk away from the game and go to bed to be able to wake up for this show…..Cat thought the game was more interesting than “Deadliest Catch” last night which is a big deal because of how much cat loves watching that show…..Ryan Ludwick must’ve forgot his helmet. Cat said they probably put Brendan Ryan in charge and he forgot to send the helmet to New York….

Rene is cultural and likes the Momma Mia version of Dancing Queen, but he doesn’t know the Communards…..Cat wants Rene to hold Tim’s hand or rub his back as they listen to the Communards….

Dallas Drake retired on his terms after winning the Cup last season….Cat said Drake was a human crash test dummy so it was great to see him play so long and finally win….

Growing up in St. Louis, every time kids would play soccer, the goalie would say that they were Slobo, and the guys are sorry to hear yesterday that he passed away….. Producer Joe is insulted that Rene doesn’t know about the Saturday soccer report….He felt pain after making a save playing in a 55 and up game in Seattle and went to the hospital…….

Doug Vaughn is panicking about getting around New York City, and then he is going to Cooperstown for vacation….He said he booked a 5 star hotel room for $40 a night in Manhattan, and the guys are worried about him because there is no way he found one that cheap….


HOUR 2:

The draw has decreased for the All-Star game, and Tim is trying to figure out why…..Rene said that the MLB All-Star game is the best one of the 4 major sports. Cat said that is because it is the game that is closest to the sports usual competition……The guys agree that home field advantage shouldn’t be decided by the All-Star game, and they take calls on the topic…..There is so much more to choose from on TV it doesn’t mean as much……There is no way to regulate strikes…..

Cat’s Pajamas:
Matt Holiday hit a homerun last night so Cardinals fans will be super excited and want the Cardinals to get him, but if you look at his stats, he isn’t as good of a hitter outside of Colorado…….Bo Hart is 34 years-old, and he is playing in Schaumberg, Ill…..He said that he will retire at the end of this season…..Banks folding, gas prices out of control? It doesn’t seem to affect President Bush. His answer to if he sees the economy turning around---he doesn’t know because “he’s not an economist.”……Survivor is coming to the Argosy Casino. Cat said that Eye of the Tiger is the only hit they have. How does Survivor get a billboard, when the show can’t get one?

There are 2 classifications of lemmings---uber lemmings and Super UBER lemmings…..Tim isn’t the voice of a generation; Cat’s impersonation of Doug is the voice of a generation.


HOUR 3:

They played the second part of the Brett Favre interview last night on Greta Van Susteren, and Brett said: “How am I supposed to trust that they are working on a trade? They may never tell us that a team is interested”…..Cat said the team should tell Aaron Rodgers that he is the QB of the future, but Brett wants to come back so they will have a competition to find the starter this year. The door should be open because of everything he has done in Green Bay and because of how well he played last year……Rene’s brother, Tyrone Knott, is the assistant wide receivers coach for the Packers and he will try to get him to call in…..

John McCain was at Ted Drewe’s last night and reportedly got a chocolate concrete ……He was at a $57,000 a couple dinner last night and then they all went to Ted Drewes.

Will Clark was supposed to join the program in the second segment, but they can’t get a hold of him, but Rene’s brother called him back.

Tyrone Knott:
Assistant wide receivers coach with the Green Bay Packers Ty Knott joined the show and didn’t have any comment on Rene lusting over Anna Kournikova……Ty said that he hopes everything works out with Brett Favre, but he doesn’t know about everything because he hasn’t been in the office, and they don’t go back to the office till next week…. Ty was at Brett’s press conference, but said he doesn’t really want to get involved because he doesn’t make the decisions…..Tyrone was on vacation and it was awkward for his own brother to put him on the spot on the air…..



Leftover Riff Raff:
Jim Edmonds once again blew off the show for the 15th time……Joe Buck was so biased against the Cardinals he said “uggggghhhhh” everytime he talked about the Cardinals ……Ryan Ludwick’s helmet wasn’t a Cardinals helmet, and they had to spray paint that one……Cat loves the Roman Stone Pavers…….Rene is in the 44 year-old club……Rene reacted real weird when the guys mentioned Anna Kournikova……Producer Joe is waving his finger is disappointment at Rene…..Tim said that there aren’t Uber lemmings…..Chris Moneymaker didn’t join the show today as scheduled……

SEGMENT 9--The Ticket Guys Email of the Day---CLICK HERE TO LISTEN

HOUR 1:

Tim said that the interviews usually aren’t the best part of the show….He thinks Producer Joe should play back the guys’ conversations instead of just interviews during the Morning After Rewind….Doug kisses a lot of guys, and Cat is worried that he may catch mono……Cat thinks they should write a song called “I kissed a boy” because of how popular the “I kissed a girl” song is…….

Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel broke up…..Cat only cares because she is Jewish….The guys think Sarah is considered hot only because compared to other female comedians, she is attractive…….

The guys discuss the beauty of the Landing, and that you can see anything including a microwave oven in the streets…….InBev is very cost conscious……The guys doubt that InBev is going to donate money to the city to fix up the riverfront….

Jim Edmonds sent Tim a text last night asking if he was still playing poker out in Las Vegas……Tim asked him if Jim wanted to come in studio and he asked if he was crazy …..Jim told him that he is riding Sea-Doos on a farm in St. Louis and going to light some fireworks……Tim holds out hope that Edmonds will come on in the 9 o’clock hour……

InsideSTL.com is giving away a trip to Chicago, and the lucky winner will see the Cardinals play the Cubs in Wrigley…..


HOUR 2:

Dennis Phillips:
St. Louisan Dennis Phillips just made the final table at the World Series of Poker, and he is in the chip lead……Dennis joined the show and said he just played poker for 17 hours straight, and he isn’t tired at all…….He will receive a check for $900,000 today and will fly back to Vegas for the final table in November…..Dennis changes up the way he plays….Tim played against him 2 weeks ago at Harrah’s and knocked him out…..Tim said that he already has a good reputation in St. Louis as a poker player and now everyone will know who he is….He said he isn’t going to stop working because he loves what he does and works with all his friends…..Tim said Dennis is a superstar…..Dennis wore his Cardinals cap even though Poker Stars wanted him to wear their hat or wear the Cards hat backwards……The guys believe he was offered 6 figures to wear Poker Stars logos……Dennis said it sucks that they don’t continue the tournament for such a long time…..

Jay Williamson:
Jay is at the British Open signing autographs when the guys get to talk to him……He said he slept for 12 hours last night and is stiff today because of the England hospitality ….John Deere chartered a plane from Moline, IL, to England for Jay, who for some reason can’t sleep on planes so he was awake the entire flight and finally fell asleep in the hotel parking lot when he arrived……Jay actually has to have his caddie hold his phone for a minute while he takes a shot during the interview…..It is very windy….Jay was very disappointed Sunday because he felt it was his time to win, but he is happy to get to play in the British Open as a consolation…..Jay shot 62 on Saturday which was a round of a lifetime he said….

HOUR 3:

Rick Hummel:
The Commish joined the guys from the back seat of a cab in NYC……Rick said the Cards need a reliever who can get left-handers out…..The Mets, Marlins, and Phillies will compete with the Cards for the Wild Cards spot…..It would have to be a tremendous trade for them to give up Colby Rasmus……..Brian Anderson is a great hitter but just an ok catcher…..If the bullpen gets squared away, Rick thinks the Cards would be ok without another batter…..There must be a way to get Kyle Lohse for 3-4 years, but the team needs to talk to him sooner than later to lock him up…….The All-Star game hasn’t lost its luster, and he likes seeing the American League guys play……


WWE Wrestling Recap:
Shane and Stephanie McMahon were very serious last night talking about their father
John Cena said that he can’t keep a smile on his face anymore, because he will be wrestling in a New York City parking lot brawl…..There is no padding in the parking lot…..The San Francisco parking lot brawl is the type that Tim likes---2 guys locked in a Subaru……

Brett Favre joined Greta Van Susteren on Fox News last night to talk about wanting to come back and play…..Brett said he is not a trader no matter what the team says because he was told that playing in Green Bay is not an option…..He also said that he was pressured into retiring too early…….It sounds like he’s ok with the Packers moving on, but he wants them to let him play somewhere else…..

All three hosts are back together today.

Sometimes Doug thinks there are only 3 or 4000 people in the world because everywhere he goes he sees people he knows. “It’s a shell game.”……People came up to him in London and Paris and said hey Doug…..

Cat and Doug have their own website, but it is smaller than Tim’s……They had to have their pool party at a pool in Branson while Tim’s party was in Vegas….Doug said there is no food shortage in Branson because people are big…..Someone allegedly got decapitated on the “Fire in the Hole” roller coaster ride in Branson…….Someone lost their “top half” while they were riding on a double-decker bus.

Tim got married 4 years ago and still hasn’t seen his wedding tapes and he is afraid that the photographer lost them…..Cat saw them on EBay….Doug stomped on glass at his wedding even though he’s not Jewish….

If you wear your best shorts to the Aces tennis match, maybe Anna Kournikova will fall in love with you…..Tim wears Dockers…..

Saturday was the worst loss of the year because it was 2 blown saves…..There were just no answers in the bullpen…..Izzy said he feels that he is back and he just threw a bad pitch…..Saturday’s game was mind blowing to Tim…..An unnamed person with the Cardinals told Cat that the price for Matt Holiday or Fuentes is extremely high…..Cat thinks they will make a move for a bullpen guy who isn’t a big name guy…..Tim said that if this was just a video game, he would put Adam Wainwright back in the bullpen as a closer, however, in real life, he doesn’t want to close, and the Cardinals need him as their #1 starter…..Cat said that the team needs Wainwright as a starter because of how the other starters have been playing…..Mark Mulder is going to go see Dr. Andrews…. Would you have another surgery if you were him?......Doug said Mark is still pretty young so he might want to take another shot…..Cat thinks he will buy a pontoon boat and chill down at the lake…..Tim doesn’t think baseball is everything to Mulder, and he will hang it up…..He may play golf professionally.

There is a report that Clark Kellog will replace Billy Packer on CBS’ broadcast team……The guys talk about why people hate Packer. He didn’t know anything about SIU when they were in the tournament….Packer is very biased towards the SEC teams.

Barry Bonds is available right now to provide protection for Albert Pujols. Cat said he thinks it’s more about Barry not being able to perform in the field, and that the team doesn’t want to mess with the chemistry of the team. Doug agreed that he makes no sense at all because he can’t play left field.

Bernie Miklasz:
Bernie received a moderate amount of email about his column yesterday about Bonds…..Miklasz thinks they wouldn’t sign Bonds because he is “radioactive” and Bill DeWitt won’t touch him……He wasn’t saying the team should sign him, but that people shouldn’t be hypocritical if they are still fans of Mark McGwire. Bernie said that Bill DeWitt found religion when it comes to Bonds….He thinks other teams not touching him is collusion, but Cat said that he thinks that teams don’t want him because of his age and lack of play in the field…..Bonds’ agent said he would play for the minimum, and Bernie thinks that baseball is a part of his life and would want to come back……It’s hard to gauge what John Mozeliak is going to do, because Cardinals’ scouts are being reported as watching different teams, but it’s hard to know what they are looking for because scouts are always looking at teams at this time of year…..

Cougar Hunter Jake is so smooth that he just walks up to a girl and before you know it he will be holding hands with her….He went into the supply closet with a very hot girl at Lush…..

Doug thinks that the Packers should take Brett Favre back and let him start because of what he has done for the team…..The only solution really is to let him start because you don’t want him to play for one of your rivals…..It would be one thing if Brett sucked last year, but he played really well and should be able to play well this year too……What if Brett comes back and only plays one year and Aaron Rodgers leaves next year as a free agent?


Leftover Riff Raff:
Arsenio Hall is peddling timeshares in Las Vegas…..Joel Goldberg can’t shave himself because of his huge meaty fingers…..Producer Joe had a crazy crazy weekend, but he won’t let Tim talk about it on the air…..Every time the song I Kissed a Girl comes on, a lot of lesbianism breaks out……..Cat said that a large number of guys on Tim’s message board haven’t kissed a girl……. The latest trend in New York is “mop hopping.”………. Tim lives a life that the rest of us only dream about……….Cat said that he would like to have a shrine to himself in his home like Tim…..Red Robin has a burger that has au gratin potatoes on it…..

Jay filled in for the Cat who is in Pittsburgh…..There is a bar in Pittsburgh that had a neon sign in the window that said “Midget Inside.” …..Jay said that he had to go inside, and if you ordered a shot, they rang a bell and a midget came running with alcohol and poured it in your mouth........If Jay ever opens a bar, he will have a midget in there….

Al Hrabosky said that LaRussa backtracked yesterday from what he said about needing to get a player…..Jay said that Tony would not have come out and said that he needs help if Walt Jocketty was still here……The guys say that the National League is awful this year and that the Cardinals have a chance so they need to go for it…..They have scored 2 or less runs in 13 games this year.


Jerry Crasnick:
Jerry was in Tony LaRussa’s office a couple days ago when Tony said the team needs to do something.…Crasnick said it wasn’t real confrontational, but it seemed like he wanted to send a message that the Cardinals should do something to improve the team……Jerry said that Tony’s success over the long term and status in the game lead to his input, which is likely more than most managers……The guys wonder about the differences between Walt Jocketty and John Mozeliak…..Jerry said that John has a tough balancing act in St. Louis between Tony, Jeff Luhnow, the young players, and veterans…..The Cardinals need bullpen help and another bat more than a starting pitcher….There were a few Pittsburgh scouts at the Cards/Phillies game so Jerry said that they may have been considering trading one of their bats. However, it is not likely to trade within the division even though Pittsburgh is always bad……Jerry thinks Matt Holiday will be too costly to trade for…..The American League is a lot better than the National League, and Jerry thinks that teams in the AL are really good at developing pitching……


EXIT POLL:
1. Whose thought process are you more on board with---LaRussa or Mozeliak? Cat: Mozeliak

2. Would you take Barry Bonds at this point? No

3. What are you looking forward to more---MU vs. IL or Rams season? MU vs. IL

7. Worst way to die? Doug: eaten whole by an anaconda; Jay: Hatem’s story of acid eating your body; Tim: burning alive; Cat: drowning with headphones listening to Tim tell a poker story


Cat Hayes:
Cat is in Pittsburgh but he isn’t going to the Midget bar. Jay said he went to the midget bar one time and he really liked it……Cat asked Tony LaRussa yesterday straight up about his comments, and it seems like he changed direction from what he told Joe Strauss and Matthew Leach. Tony said that he in no way is pushing the front office to go out and get someone, but that he expects John Mozeliak to be doing everything he can to improve the team……Tony said he isn’t commenting about Barry Bonds anymore so Cat thinks Tony would like to have Barry but knows he’s not getting him…….Cat thinks the Cards are working on getting bullpen help and a big bat…….Tony was very upset yesterday with reporters because he thinks they painted the angle that it is Tony vs. Mozeliak…… Cat said he thinks it’s 60/40 of guys who want a deal to be made, and yesterday there was a rumor that the team made a trade----but it ended up being started by Brendan Ryan…… Ryan thought he saw something on the ticker……Springer and Franklin seem to be the leaders of the bullpen…..


Doug brought up guys who have jumped out of planes and whose parachutes haven’t opened but have survived…….They usually fall into a tree or bush or on the snow and survive…...Doug said that no one has ever been eaten alive by an anaconda and survived.

2. 31-11 no on Bonds
3. 31-11 Mizzou vs. Illini

HOUR 1:

Tim is surprised to see Martin sitting in for the Cat today, and Martin said he will play the Cat’s role….Producer Joe explains that he usually does edit the Morning After Rewind but they were having major computer problems this morning.

Anna Kournikova has settled down a lot and got rid of the Diva attitude according to a Sports Illustrated article…..She is going to have her press conference at Lumiere Place Casino next week…..

The guys talk about hosting auctions and not knowing how to do it, but it all depends on the audience…..Martin hosted one before and it was going so poorly that Ed Goodman walked up and took over for him…….Martin was asked to help host Mike Shannon’s auction at the race track before because Mike will be doing it and then walk away and no one knows where he went……Martin said that Mike would even make up things to auction off like a fishing trip with him and Red and Stan…….Doug said he went to the CBC auction before and never felt so poor in his life……

The Mississippi River is now back open for recreational boating…..The guys wonder how deep the river is and what you could find in there…..Doug said one time a guy called Channel 4 and said that he thought he caught the largest catfish ever so Doug had a camera guy go with him to see the fish which filled the man’s bathtub…..

Martin said that Iggy is on his game with the morning show in terms of dropping soundbytes……By the time the Foxhole show comes on, the guys will say something about Rich Gould, and Iggy will say in their ear 2 minutes later to mention Gould again so he can play a sound byte…..

Tim said it’s over for at least 1/3 of the trifecta because Mark Mulder is done……It’s amazing that the Cards could’ve won the game last night after their starting pitcher only got one out……Doug said the main problem is that they can’t hit or score runs…..


HOUR 2:

Jimmy “Cat” Hayes:
Jim introduced his wife to Tony LaRussa this morning at breakfast, and he said she looked like his daughter…….Tony was eating with a buddy of his---probably someone who saved a stray cat……Cat said the worst thing about Mulder is that there is no definitive word on him. He doesn’t think the situation is close to being resolved and if it is, it looks pretty bad……Tony would say it’s too fresh to make a decision, but Cat said that if they find any problems when they examine him he may retire……The Cards said they weren’t expecting the best, but they were hoping for 80 pitches from him last night….Cat wasn’t expecting very much because of his high ERA in his two relief appearances….As of last night, Tony didn’t know what the next step would be for Mulder, and Cat thinks that he should’ve said that Dr. Paletta is on his way to look at him……Cat was looking for the south Philly guidos (with wife beaters on and a gold chain with a chain on their wallet connected to their pants) in the pre-game piece but he guesses he was standing at the high-end entrance.

Tony LaRussa said he wants the team to make a move now to win now, but John Mozeliak said he is happy where they are at this point because Wainwright and Carpenter will come back……Doug said when you have a clear chance to win the division you have to do whatever you can to do it……The prospects will keep coming and if you can get a proven talent for someone who you really don’t know how they will play in the majors you have to do it…….The guys aren’t sure if just one more player could make or break the team so they wouldn’t do anything stupid.

If the Cardinals get a bat in the outfield who are they going to sit to play him?.....It would be better if the team could get Dan Uggla so there is no conflict with any other players on the team in terms of getting at bats……The Cardinals haven’t been overwhelmingly burned on trade deadline deals……


HOUR 3:

Tim said that the Cardinals need to trade for someone this year and go for it because you never know if Pujols is going to get hurt. Doug isn’t worried about Pujols getting hurt because he plays at first base and isn’t crashing into walls or turning double plays with guys sliding into him……

The Cardinals will have flexibility to spend on players for next year……..According to Producer Joe’s research, the Cardinals will be unloading $41.6 million off the payroll next year if they don’t bring a number of guys back including: Mulder, Jason Isringhausen, Juan Encarnacion, Cesar Izturis, Braden Looper, Kyle Lohse……

Producer Joe loved his trip to Las Vegas and had a wonderful time…..Tim explains how they met up with Andy Dick to Martin….When they took a picture Andy put his arm around Tim and started playing with his right nipple…..


Steve Kline:
Steve is having a baby tomorrow. He has 2 kids already, and he is trying to beat Matheny at something…..When the kid is born, he will already be taller than McKernan…..Steve wants his kid to be an ultimate fighter/doctor…..Doug was watching ultimate fighting last night and a guy was stomping on another guys’ toes…..Steve said that he hasn’t watched a game since he retired, and he has no idea who is on the All-Star team or anything….. Steve said that when you have surgery you should take a whole year off, and he doesn’t get why doctors have you rehab as quick as they do nowadays……Lee Mazzilli used to smoke darts in the clubhouse during the game. Steve said they would be up to bat with someone on second and Lee would disappear to go smoke……Steve said he is going to come to St. Louis and talk to John Mozeliak about coaching in August…..Steve is “taking classes on line or something” because he needs a degree to be able to coach……Kline said that if you have a chance for the playoffs, he would get Barry Bonds on the roster because he could really get on base a lot with his walks……Steve was answering a question when his daughter fell down and cried on the phone. Steve told McKernan not to have kids……Kline asked the guys who Edmonds was playing for, and was very surprised when the guys said he was a Cub……Kline said that LaRussa was just trying to play mind tricks in his spat with Edmonds…..Jimmy was great because you could get him to go bitch about stuff. He would whine and complain for the team….Kline said that the Cubs can’t win the World Series…..People don’t know about the Cards/Cubs rivalry because people don’t shoot each other after games……Steve wants to coach because these kids nowadays are coming up as sissies…..



Leftover Riff Raff:
Martin is familiar with the Communards phenomenon……Tony LaRussa walks his cats according to Elaine Boozler……Doug is a realist……The Cat doesn’t think Martin understands comedy…..Tim would like to play the Communards 50% of the time coming back from break….The Cardinals should give Colby Rasmus to Kyle Lohse to get him to stay here……Doug is old enough that his prostate should’ve been removed already…..Speech Impediment Matt called in to introduce himself to Doug…..If you have a fohawk, it screams that you are a gentleman’s gentleman…….Andy Dick’s voicemail says “you have reached the voicemail of ‘in the butt,’ please leave a message…….Kline is not a big Mazzili fan……Doug writes down the emailers so he can vote for the right person during email of the day

SEGMENT 9--The Ticket Guys Email of the Day---CLICK HERE TO LISTEN

HOUR 1:

Jay Jr. and Andy Strickland fill in again for Tim and Cat, but Tim will be back tomorrow because he got knocked out of the World Series of Poker last night……The guys think the experience will be good for Tim, and Jay is curious to see if he will play in more tournaments.

Just when you think the Cardinals are in trouble, Joel Pineiro goes out and beats Cole Hamels in his first win since April 29……What a great way to start the road trip…..Andy said that late in Pineiro’s starts he always blows up at the end so he was happy to see that Tony got him out of there……Doug thinks they took McClellan out too soon because he was blowing away everybody…..The Cubs traded for Rich Harden yesterday. When Rich Harden is healthy, he is a great pitcher, but he isn’t healthy very often…….. Andy Strickland is very confident in Mark Mulder’s chances tonight. He thinks Mark will throw 6 innings, but the other guys aren’t as confident…

The guys took a lot of calls about the Cardinals, and discussed trade possibilities…..They projected rotations if guys come back healthy this year and for next year with guys coming up from the minors……One caller suggested not going out after anyone now to save money in order to lock up Albert Pujols when he comes up for an extension.

Fans feel like the Cardinals don’t spend enough money when they really have a payroll of over $90 million……Doug thinks that payroll is reasonable.

HOUR 2:

Jim “Cat” Hayes:
Jim said that the win last night in Philly was huge because it was the first game of a tough road trip……..Doug said a concern has to be that the only home runs they get are solo home runs…….Cat said that Tony LaRussa said that they needed a start, and Boggs has things to work on in the minors so it is just the time for Mark Mulder. Tony admitted that they want to see what they have too before the trade deadline……John Mozeliak said on the pre-game show last night that the Cards have been looking at different players, but that they aren’t going to just go out and make a deal because Milwaukee and Chicago have……..Jim said that he thinks Bill DeWitt gets a bad rap because he looks like a business man, but he is a baseball fan, and the Cards have money to go out and get someone if they find the right player…….Cat said that a lefty reliever is probably their top priority…….Ryan Franklin hasn’t done that bad as the closer, Izzy could be the closer again if his knee is healthy, and people want to see Chris Perez as the closer so they don’t need to get one……..Cat said Brad Lidge shouldn’t even look at Pujols when he comes up to bat……There were a lot of boos in the stadium when Chris Duncan plowed over the catcher. Tony said that Duncan was trying to not spike the catcher or plop on him so that is why it looked awkward when he collided with him......Cat’s wife came on the show to explain the difference between Pat’s and Gino’s…..

Jay Williamson:

Doug said that Jay is the best ever golfer to come out of St. Louis……Jay said it’s been a very frustrating year, and not playing well earlier this year has hurt him getting into tournaments……He still has some opportunities though and he is working on his putting ……Jay said maybe he is a mental midget because of his struggles on Sunday. You need to make puts on Sunday, and Jay said he’s just never been a great putter under pressure… He has made 11 cuts this year with nothing to show for it……Jay said he doesn’t want to sound like he is taking a shot at Joe Buck, but when he is home, he doesn’t watch golf….. Jay thinks they need a drug testing policy, but it goes way too far, and is way too strict…..There is one guy who needs to be drug tested, and unfortunately he won’t be tested……Kenny Perry is an interesting situation. Kenny likes to play golf in this country, but he doesn’t like playing in the British Open……Kenny has played for 20 years and never finished out of the top 100 on the money list……The Cardinals are excited to watch, and Jay is excited about how well they have played this year because of how people thought they would play at the beginning of the season…….With Tiger not playing in St. Louis


HOUR 3:

The guys talk about Brett Favre possibly coming back, and one Packer fan from Wisconsin called in and said that he would root for Favre wherever he played even if it was in Chicago or Minnesota…...Andy said that Brett should be able to play pretty well still because it isn’t like he would be coming back after a couple years of not playing…… Another guy called and said he is pretty excited about Aaron Rodgers, and Rodgers was a potential #1 overall pick in the draft a few years ago. Also when Rodgers came into the game in Dallas last year he played pretty well……Doug said it would be better if Brett stayed in shape but didn’t come back unless Rodgers got hurt.

Tim McKernan:
Tim is very upset about getting knocked out of the tournament yesterday……The pro he played against was in the Top 10 by the end of the day yesterday……Tim explained what happened on his losing hand, and he thinks he should’ve raised him more after the flop and maybe he would’ve dropped out……They guys lost connection with Tim, and Jay joked that the World Series of Poker shut him down…….The guys are worried that Tim is going to jump because he is taking it pretty hard…….Tim called back in and said that the key to winning is skill plus having luck. He said that you can’t worry about winning all the big pots, but you can’t lose the big pots…….After Tim got knocked out, he just wanted to get the hell out of town…..He got knocked out of the tournament around 5:15pm central time, and was on the ground in St. Louis around 9:45pm central….. Tim doesn’t think he could have won the tournament, but he thinks he could’ve won some money…...Tim thinks he will play next year if he qualifies; he doesn’t think he would buy in though……



Leftover Riff Raff:
It’s too early to sing……Doug gets confused about the different poker hands that win……Mike Danton is still in prison…… Jay thought there would be more “muck” and dead bodies downtown from the river being flooded……Strickland used to work overnight at a country station in Northern Arizona…….. Doug got his ticket taken care of yesterday…..It was issued by a St. George police officer. …….Strick Nasty is usually in bed dreaming hockey thoughts during the time the show is on……Cat said that Tim will make out with a guy and then feel better about losing out in the World Series of Poker…….People in trailer parks use guns to make a hole in the wall and to try to kill mice…..Brett Favre said “Hasta la vista cheeseheads” when he retired after last year……Chris Draft has had a hell of an offseason…..

Jay Jr. is filling in for Tim again and Andy Strickland is filling in for Cat because he is with the Cardinals on this road trip.

The guys wonder how many people are left in the World Series of Poker, and they go over the list of celebrities who are playing, which includes Jose Canseco, Ray Romano, Jennifer Tilly……Andy said “if you succeed on a consistent basis, you are doing something right.”

Bob Nightengale:
Bob said that the Cardinals will probably have to get more help if they are going to stay in the race……He said they need to see what Mark Mulder has and if he has pain again it may be the end of his career in St. Louis…..CC Sabathia going from the American League to the NL should dominate the competition…..The Cubs are almost forced to do something now because of the Brewers’ top two starters. Bob thinks they will go after Rich Harden or Erik Bedard……Harden is a big risk of breaking down because he is rarely healthy……Bob thinks Boston will catch Tampa Bay because they are more experienced. Tampa Bay has done a great job of identifying players to come in and help the young guys…..Kim Ng may become the first female GM in baseball, but Bob doubts it will be very soon because a lot of factors weigh into it……The fans only vote for the starting 9 All-Stars so the players are responsible for who is in the game as much as the fans…….Bob thinks Barry Bonds is done and he doesn’t think he’s even working out much anymore. Barry wasn’t even that great last year and missed a lot of pitches.


Tim McKernan:
Tim said he just randomly woke up out in Vegas so he called in……Tim agreed that he needs to make a move today to be in the game….All his friends went home on Sunday so he has been hanging out by himself in his room……Chris Moneymaker said you need 17 orbits, and Tim has more than 20. So he could fold every single hand and only lose a couple thousand chips…..Moneymaker has 68,000 chips, and most people are around 35-40,000……There are 4 guys at Tim’s table who have less chips for him……Tim said he needs to be like Notorious B.I.G.’s song Ready to Die when he is playing……..There are people in the tournament who $10,000 means nothing to them so they have an advantage of being able to be more aggressive and not worrying about losing their money…….If Tim can hold on through today then he will be in the money Thursday…….The top 666 players win money with the 666 winning $21,000.



HOUR 2:

Doug got a speeding ticket for the first time in 20 years, and he can’t decide if he should just pay it or get a lawyer……A caller said that Doug will lose his safe driving discounts if he doesn’t get the ticket changed to a non-moving violation.

Rick Hummel:
The Commish actually was changing channels last night and watched WWE wrestling for a few minutes but then changed it……His favorite wrestler used to jump in the air and kick you in the face with both feet……..Rick said the Cardinals need to give Mark Mulder more than one start to see what he has left……Hummel doesn’t have any expectations for Mark but it is a daunting task to face the Phillies anywhere, but especially in their ballpark…..Whenever the Cubs come to town, Tony LaRussa has a little different persona……It may have affected Jim Edmonds play……Tony and Jim’s relationship was good when he left, and it would probably still be fine if he wasn’t with the Cubs…….Joel Pineiro needs to win a game soon whether he pitches well or not…..Since Wainwright got hurt, neither Todd Wellemeyer nor Pineiro have won a game……..Rick said he thinks Kyle Lohse should be in the All-Star game, and maybe he still has a chance because some pitchers who start on Sunday don’t want to be in the game……Doug thinks Edmonds is the greatest centerfielder in Cards history…..Rick said he would’ve liked to see Terry Moore play. The top 4 centerfielders according to Rick are Curt Flood, Willie McGee, Jim Edmonds, and Terry Moore, and maybe Jim would win out because he had the strongest arm……Doug said Terry Moore once caught a ball in foul territory when he was playing center.



HOUR 3:

WWE Wrestling Recap:
Last night Stephanie McMahon came out to address the fans and she implored “everyone to work as one” while her father is out. Last night there was a Fatal Four Way match…..Towards the end of the show last night, Cain turned and became a heel…….

Chris Perez:
It seems like the Cards have played a lot of good teams lately…..Chris said he tries to learn stuff as everything goes along…..Chris heard a couple guys say that CC Sabathia is a good addition for the Brewers, but he said they have to worry about what they are doing, and can’t worry about what the Brewers or Cubs do…..Everyone is interested in how Mulder will pitch Thursday. Chris said that Mark will be on a pitch count and however many innings he throws will hopefully be good innings…..Chris prefers to pitch out of the bullpen because if a starter has a bad game, they have to think about it for 5 days whereas a reliever gets right back in there…..This is the first time Chris has been to Philadelphia so he plans on walking around the city and see what it’s like……The first couple outings are kind of easy, but once teams know what you can do, it gets more difficult. Perez is working on his slider, but right now he is mainly a power pitcher…..The veteran guys in the bullpen share information with Chris when they see something during a game that they think can help him…..When a move is made you kind of get nervous because you really don’t know if they are going to send you down again or not…….During the All-Star break Chris is going to a lake and go fishing the entire time.


Leftover Riff Raff:

Strickland loves waking up early……Doug took Heather Thomas down off the background of the computer in the studio and put up the picture of Tim with Andy Dick…….Howard Balzer is the best Karaoke singer in St. Louis…..The only song Doug knows all the words to is Happy Birthday…….Tiger Woods curses a lot while he is playing…..There are only a couple last names in South Korea----Park, Lee,……If you learn anything from A-Rod, you should get a pre-nup…… Doug needs to call A-Rod’s lawyer (who is also representing Shaq)…..

HOUR 1:

Jay is filling in again for Tim because he is out in Las Vegas playing in the World Series of Poker.

Doug wants to know why Mitchell Boggs is being skipped over for a start by Mark Mulder in Philadelphia coming up. Mitchell had a bad outing in his last start, but he had 3 good ones before that.

Jay said he thinks LaRussa made a big deal out of the Edmonds comments. LaRussa said that he wanted to put the pressure on him, which worked because he went 0 for 4 Friday night…….This is a big stretch for the Cards before the All-Star break, and it would be huge if the guys are wrong and Mulder has a huge outing.

Producer Joe is back from Vegas; he said that Andy Dick was at the Hard Rock pool where they were staying.....Joe was having problems breathing out there because he forgot his inhaler…… “Big Grease” hung out with Andy Dick and his assistant Thursday night. He didn’t get violated at any point…..At some point Andy came into Joe’s hotel room when he was unconscious and he was bouncing around…..Joe recognized the “leper” and “alien” from TheDirty.com, and he had them stop by the cabana to take pictures and hang out, but they never met Nik Ritchie……Tim plays again tomorrow.



HOUR 2:

Jay was disappointed that Kyle Lohse didn’t maek the All-Star game. Ryan Ludwick is likely going to be a guy who really .

Bernie Miklasz:
Bernie said he always enjoys coming on the show……Jim asked Bernie what he thought about Tim not waking up and coming on the show this morning and Bernie said Tim needs to get his rest so he can play well……Bernie said if he was a Cards fan he wouldn’t cheer Edmonds because of the uniform, and he said that if he can’t have fun with his column when the Cubs come to town then he shouldn’t have his job……. LaRussa was very serious though with his comments about Edmonds this weekend. Bernie wondered if he said it to put the pressure on Edmonds……..It seems like the Cards are trying to get at least some value out of Mark Mulder by starting him this week. Doug said he can’t imagine any other reason he is starting than because how much money the Cardinals are paying him, and Bernie agrees but thinks he should at least get his start at home…... Jay can’t understand why they don’t start him in the minors…… Bernie said that there is some rumbling in the Clubhouse about this too, and they are wondering why he is starting because the team can’t give games away….Bernie said that he doesn’t get worked up about All-Star selections anymore, and he doesn’t have a problem with Kyle Lohse or Yadier Molina being left off the team……C.C. Sabathia is a huge addition for Milwaukee, and not only are the Brewers going to be better, but not the Cubs are going to be ultra aggressive to get another starter because the Brewers did……. Bernie said that now John Mozeliak is in a terrible spot because the Cards weren’t expected to contend this year and they don’t want to give away their youngsters in a trade even though they are in the race.

Tim McKernan:

Tim joined the guys from Vegas even though it was 6:45am out there…..Tim is wearing crotchless panties…..He said it was intimidating at first. He was trying to get a feel for the guys at his table. Tim knew he could pick on the guy sitting at seat 3 because he was noticeably nervous…..An hour and a half into the game, being able to lay down the best hand in poker meant a lot to Tim, and he is still thinking about it…..Tim can see online who he will be playing against, and he is going to be playing against 2 pros at his table which is going to make it difficult……Tim is sitting at 26,325 chips right now, and a pro with 60,000 chips will be sitting to his right…….Ray Romano is playing out there, and at his table, a guy had 4 Aces but was knocked out by someone with a Royal Flush…..Tim was unable to fall back asleep after construction noise woke him up at 5:45am the other day…….Andy Dick had a tuxedo speedo on at the pool, and he came over and hung out in Tim’s cabana…..Tim contacted TMZ about selling pictures of Andy Dick to them, but they only offered him $50 to $75 so he said no…….Tim has a sense of accomplishment making it out of day 1, and he feels like he will play with a little more reckless abandonment in day 2…….



HOUR 3:

Cat lost his debit card so he asked his wife if she could get him some cash when they were going to Lumiere Place Casino. She tried to hand him $100 bill while he was driving, but he said he would take it later so he could put it in his wallet because he didn’t want to while he was driving. So they were in the casino and he asked his wife for the money and she said she gave it to him already so then he figured it was still in the car, but they had valet parked so he was worried it would be gone. However, when they got the car back, the $100 bill was sitting in there, and Cat’s faith in humanity was restored…..

Jay found a $2 bill on the Landing Thursday and looked around to see if anyone had dropped it.

Brett Wallace:
Brett said the first thing he is going to buy with his signing bonus will probably be a car…..It was a dream come true for him to see his jersey in the locker room when he signed his contract at Busch Stadium…..Brett said it felt great to hit his first home run as a pro…..He said it was definitely a good experience to play in the Cape Cod league because they hit with wood bats…….Brett works hard everyday on his defense at third base…..He grew up in northern California and really liked the A’s, but when Tony LaRussa moved to St. Louis his family followed the Cardinals….Brett said he followed Ken Griffey when he was young, and he has followed Albert Pujols a lot recently…..He said he wants to work hard to get to the big leagues and stay there…..Brett likes to play X-Box……There is a big difference in the ladies between Scottsdale and Quad Cities…..



Leftover Riff Raff:
Tim has a history of illnesses…..Tim was doing a lot of math when he came on and Doug asked him “what the hell are you talking about”…….It is weird that Tim actually has a topless picture of himself with Andy Dick after the guys made it part of the exit poll……. Tim said he hasn’t hit someone since the early 90’s, but if Andy Dick was all up on him like he was to this other guy from St. Louis, Tim would’ve hit him…..Cat once spotted a half eaten bagel and a potato on the Landing……Cat wouldn’t buy a new car now because new technology may change cars…..The police have dropped the ball in the Tupac investigation……

HOUR 1:

Jay Jr. is filling in for Tim today because he is in Vegas with Producer Joe getting ready to play in the World Series of Poker.

Joe Buck said that he’d rather what the Bachelor instead of a baseball game. Doug said as you get older, watching games becomes less important. Jay said he’d rather have Joe saying that than have someone lying about it.

Cat said he hopes Mark Mulder makes it back, but he looks at him as still an experiment. Cat didn’t have high expectations for when he came in last night, and the Cardinals should have a different left-hander to come in besides Mulder and Ron Villone……. Doug doesn’t think you can bring him in during a tight game when you are in the middle of the pennant race…..Jay Jr. said he doesn’t know why Tony would experiment in the game last night, and they have to get another left-hander in the bullpen.


Friday “Holiday” Exit Poll:

1. You can only keep one—Ankiel or Ludwick? Cat: Ankiel; Jay Jr: Ankiel; Doug: Ankiel

2. One player you would like to see the Cardinals trade for? Cat: Griffey; Jay Jr: the closer from Kansas City---Soria; Doug: Fuentes from Colorado

3. Joe Buck’s comments a big deal? Cat: no; Jay: no; Doug: no

4. Favorite late night talk show host? Cat: Conan O’Brian; Jay: Kimmel; Doug: Letterman

5. Non-fatal fireworks tragedies---hilarious or tragic? Cat: hilarious; Jay: hilarious; Doug: tragic

6. Renee Zellweger---would ya? Cat: no; Jay: no; Doug: no

7. The most annoying commercial on tv? Cat: the late night commercial with Jay: Mike Bush news promo on Channel 5; Doug: Doug sings “Gringo Jones and Me, Gringo Jones and Me”


HOUR 2:

The guys couldn’t get a hold of Brett Wallace so they took a bunch of calls this hour for the Exit Poll.

Doug is thinking if he had a sit down shower he would be a lot safer.

Half way through the hour the guys change the Joe Buck question to what is your favorite fast food fry.

The guys had some Cup Cakery cupcakes and Jay Jr. was amazed by them. Jay wanted a shot glass of the icing.

Doug didn’t know that the Exit Poll was sponsored even though Cat has mentioned Window World a bunch of times.

A caller said he has been advocating that if the pitchers are playing well, let Duncan’s kid play.


HOUR 3:

More people want to participate in the “best” exit poll ever.

Aaron Miles:
Aaron said he is feeling good at the plate, and he is getting lucky with his hits finding holes…..Miles said that the team is doing so well because of the pitching and defense, but also because the guys are showing up to play everyday with a chip on their shoulder……he said it’s so much easier to get into a groove when you are playing everyday…..As a bench player you have to approach hitting differently because you may only get up to bat every 3 days…….When Miles was in the minors, he was robbed by two gunmen in his motel. Five of his teammates were hog tied in the other room. They were going to take him with them as a hostage till they walked out the door and the first gunman jumped off the 2nd story balcony and the other one pulled him back into the room and had a gun to his head. Miles said the gunman kept saying he wasn’t going back to jail so Aaron decided to try to wrestle the gun away from him. They were on the ground both holding the gun so Miles yelled for the police to come in and they broke the window, came in, and shot the gunman 6 times. Bullets flew right past Miles’ shoulder…..Doug asked if Aaron is ever effected by the incident, but for Aaron it was more of a victory, and he doesn’t let it effect him  negatively……..He said you have to look at how consistent our pitching and defense has been. It’s already a long season, and at the halfway point, this team has shown that it can handle adversity. The team has shown that they forget what happened the day before and go out there and play hard every game, and if they keep doing that they will be fine the rest of the way.


Exit Poll Results:

1. 12-7 Ankiel
2. 4 votes for Fuentes
3. 10 votes that no big deal Joe said that. McDonald’s won
4. Conan 6 votes
5. 17 votes for hilarious and 2 votes for tragic
6. 11 votes for yes and 8 for no on Renee
7. 4 votes for 6 Flags


Leftover Riff Raff:
The Cards will try to jump over the Mets tonight like Robbie Knievel will try to jump over 25 Dodge trucks at Six Flags today…….Ankiel might be able to escape the aliens who are trying to take one of the outfielders…….The guys don’t like the film of grease on Renee Zellweger……Jay thinks Mike Bush has enough power at Channel 5 to stop his promo……Doug doesn’t know how to ask a question…..Doug had a mini stroke…..A Friday exit poll on a Thursday is like Christmas come early……

HOUR 1:

The Gerber baby strikes again….Stacy Dash is coming up later to promote the Celebrity Circus show…….Derrick Goold tried to get on the circus show but didn’t make the cut….Doug looked Stacy up on the internet, and the guys found out that she was on Sesame Street as a child, on the Cosby Show, and she spent 3 months of her life baking cookies with the Keibler Elves…..

Tim is worried about Todd Wellemeyer. He couldn’t locate his breaking pitches…..Doug said if you are having problems throwing the changeup, then don’t throw that pitch. Keep throwing your heater……Todd said his arm felt great early on, but he probably is a little rusty and needs to do a few side sessions……Cat said Ryan Franklin wasn’t available on Monday because of food poisoning Sunday from eating seared Mahi Tuna……Tim kept asking where Franklin ate and Cat said a place called “Lil Tim’s” which was opened by Tim’s dad.

Tim and his wife went out to eat last night to celebrate their anniversary because he is going to Las Vegas……He made a reservation and the host asked if it was a special occasion so Tim told him it’s their anniversary so when they got there, they gave them a glass of champagne. Tim thought that was a great gesture until he saw that he was charged for them on the bill. He didn’t order them or really drink them so he didn’t understand why they were on his check.

Cat’s Pajamas:
Cat wanted to know why when he looks at the Nightlife section of InsideSTL.com everyone holds up their beer like a trophy……Cat saw someone buy the perfect “hoosier lunch” at the gas station this morning at 4:30 on his way to work---a pack of Gold Coast Menthol cigarettes, 12 pack of Coors Light and some Slim Jims……..John Mozeliak confirmed again on the pregame show last night that he has financial flexibility to make a move in free agency……..John Rodriguez, now with triple-A New Orleans in the Mets organization, said almost all of him is still a Cardinal, and he would love to be a Cardinal again. Cat said he doesn’t think J-Rod was an organization favorite…….There is a big search in California for Moe the chimp, who was known for when his owner came to visit him in an animal sanctuary with a cake and got attacked. The other chimps bit off his nose, his fingers, and his junk…… Joel Goldberg was in a similar situation before, but the Chimps couldn’t get their mouths around his big meaty fingers.


HOUR 2:

Tim realized he has to think of some questions for Stacy Dash…….Viewers of FSN have noticed that Tony LaRussa is being more short in his answers to the Cat in the postgame show……This upcoming weekend series with the Cubs in town is one of the most anticipated series Tim can remember. The Phillies are probably the 3rd best team in the National League.

Tim has received emails from people who want to sponsor him in the Poker Tournament. One guy has offered him $1000 to get 5% of his earnings…..The guys aren’t sure if that is a good deal or not.

Stacy Dash:
Stacy is working out 6 days a week for 8 hours a day. Cat told her that Doug likes her butt…..The show is very exciting, very real, and it’s been a very profound experience. She cracked some ribs while she was doing moves on those huge pieces of cloth hanging that hang from the ceiling….Christopher Knight broke his elbow on the German wheel…..You can’t sue someone when you get hurt because you have to sign a contract……There will be an animal act on tonight’s show that everyone should check out……She still stays in touch with the writer/director of Clueless……Stacy hasn’t played poker in years, but she really enjoyed it when she played…..The guys think Tim has a chance with Stacy.

Cat likes watching circus shows on TV. Doug doesn’t like the circus because not all the events are entertaining……Cat doesn’t like seeing elephants in the circus because they are treated poorly, but he likes when the elephants decide they won’t take it anymore and attack their handlers…..Doug likes to watch a bear on a bicycle…..The circus people freak Tim out. When he was a kid they left the circus at the Kiel early and he saw kids looking out the window of the Barnum & Bailey train car.

Bob Nightengale had a story about Mark McGwire in yesterday’s USA Today about McGwire wanting to get back in baseball…..He has worked with Chris Duncan and Skip Schumaker before and the guys said he helped them….His teammates really liked McGwire…..The guys agreed that he should have a press conference and answer questions before he takes a job with a team or else it will follow him around everywhere. He can answer questions once and then say he doesn’t want to talk about it anymore.


HOUR 3:

FSN’s poker analyst studied Tim’s game and doesn’t think there is much there.

Derrick Goold:
Derrick likes to hear the guys talk poker in the morning….Tony always sends an open invitation to McGwire to be an instructor during spring training or during the season, and they thought he was going to show up this year…..He has some questions to answer, and Derrick thinks how he answers the questions the day he comes back will dictate how long he stays in baseball…..Cat said that McGwire will not likely answer questions from the media when he didn’t in front of Congress……The guys agree that if he would just confront the issue people would probably forgive him like they have forgiven other guys like Jason Giambi……Todd Wellemeyer because he has to get that slider back, and they are worried about his elbow, but he said there is no pain in the elbow. He has to try to get his rhythm back and can throw all of his pitches.

Included in Producer Joe’s email to Tim this morning as potential talking points: “Seriously, kind of creepy there was a serial killer roaming around downtown right?”

Nik Richie:
Nik Richie from TheDirty.com was warned that Producer Joe will be following him around in Vegas…..Nik has a party each night this weekend in Vegas, and he is flying out all of the celebrity chicks from TheDirty.com……Nik is going to wait in line and just be a normal guy at his own party……One girl’s name is Leper, which she didn’t really like at first…..Paris and Nicole are supposed to be there Saturday night because their boyfriends’ band Good Charlotte will be playing pool side……Mark Mulder is Nik’s friend, and he was excited to see him get in and pitch….TheDirty invades the Hard Rock Hotel is the theme of the weekend….He is giving away breast implants…..St. Louis is a rough place to be a “dirty celebrity” because the only one they have is someone who is a poser---he is a 40K millionaire…….Nik said the biggest mistake he ever made was being friends with MLB players before he started the website because they are like girls…… They are going to send a picture of Producer Joe to be put on the website…..

The guys are worried that Producer Joe may not make it through the weekend…..Tim’s bachelor party was in Vegas for 5 days, and they had casualties---guys throwing up on the golf course, guys disappearing……If Tim makes it to the final table in the World Series of Poker, this will be his last day of doing radio. He will likely buy a Porn business…..


Leftover Riff Raff:
Doug is lead singer material…..Producer Joe had to hit his own music the first time he went into the studio…..Cat offered to stand behind Tim while he is playing poker and play the accordian so Tim doesn't have to have one ear bud in and one ear bud out.......Cat doesn’t blow out his ears on his I-pod ….There used to be a chimp at the Zoo who could talk, but he is taking a dirt nap……A chimp wins if he fought a honey badger…… Mrs. Dash has great spices…….Show business bears sound like Barry White….Iggy hates the Communards videos……Doug was doing the sprinkler dance move to the Communards coming back from break…….The Morning After is never on remote because no one likes them……Cat said that they have to go to the pudding buffet when they are in Vegas….The guys called Lake of the Ozarks Satan’s Anus……Tim has had an ear bud problem the entire show.

SEGMENT 9--The Ticket Guys Email of the Day---CLICK HERE TO LISTEN

HOUR 1:

Cat said you aren’t a winner at the World Series of Poker unless you have the bracelet so he and Doug pooled their money and bought/made a bracelet holder. It is very elaborate and they had to shave off the Expos logo from the top of it….They worked for hours on it and Doug sanded it down.

Cat said that it doesn’t look like the Mets are playing with fire because they are so talented, yet just a .500 team……Tim is looking forward to watching the Cards play the Cubs while he is in Vegas this weekend……Jim Edmonds seems to be worried about not getting a standing ovation when he returns Friday night. The guys think he’s crazy because Mark Mulder got a standing ovation walking out on the field last night……Doug said Cat can lure Edmonds to come on the pre-game show by wearing a half-shirt…..J-Rod’s attitude changed and he isn’t mad at Cat anymore so maybe Jim can get over it too.

InsideSTL.com should be headquartered in Edmonds’ house he is trying to sell for $2 million here in St. Louis…..Tim said it would be like the Playboy Mansion, and Cat said it would look more like the “Schmitt’s Gay” beer commercial with all of Producer Joe’s guy friends in speedo’s.

If Cat won $1 million, he’d rent a big old truck and buy around 500,000 oatmeal crème pies and hand them out and smile from on top of his truck. He’d say, “Enjoy your treat.” …….Cat said a little thing like that could help the economy so much that St. Louis would become the #2 city in commerce in the country.


HOUR 2:

Tim reads a sound-off letter in the Post-Dispatch from a guy who can’t stand the wave......Tim agrees with him, but Tim doesn’t hate the wave itself, but he hates people yelling at you to get up and do the wave……He said all people do in St. Louis is yell at you to sit down at Cardinals and Rams games even though you are cheering, and then some hoosier in jean shorts with no shirt yells at you to stand up and do the wave…..
In Bev is going to force employees to do the wave.

Jeff Passan:
Jeff has incorporated a new thing into his column: angry Cardinal fan of the week……If you want to win the fan base over all you have to do is refer to them as the best fans in baseball……Jeff refuses to call Red Sox fans Red Sox Nation……Jeff thinks if Adam Wainwright can come back and be the Cards’ ace, they can probably make the playoffs… Albert Pujols is a one of a kind player, and Jeff thinks it’s a toss up between who is the best player in baseball between Pujols and A-Rod……Jeff thinks that fans recognize that Pujols is a great player, but they might not realize how great he is…..Albert said he returned from injury so fast because of God and because of his work ethic…..It’s really a phenomenal thing to watch his body heal……Jeff said that any team could use another starting pitcher so maybe the Cards could pick one up. He suggested AJ Burnett as a perfect pitcher to go out there and get.….Jeff salivates for a Cards vs. Cubs playoff series this fall. It would be fun to watch, and he knows how much it would mean to people in the Midwest.

WWE Wrestling Recap:
Shane McMahon opened the program last night. “Most of you know my father was the victim of a horrible accident.” Pull together in this time of uncertainty…….Doug said that Vince needed a vacation and he is at Hedo eating a hotdog with Sherman Helmsley…..Cat said that his accident was rigged. He said that he saw someone flip a switch and then the scaffolding fell…… “The Stormy Combatants” are the tag team champs right now according to Cat.


HOUR 3:

Kyle Lohse:
Kyle said it felt good going after New York and getting a win…..He said that his arm is usually more sore the second day after he pitches…..Lohse said it was a little personal last night too because New York pursued him in the off-season, but left him hanging…..Last night he had his curve ball working well, and in the past he only used his other 3 pitches…….When you see one guy go out there and win and make it look a little easy, it is contagious among the other pitchers……Todd Wellemeyer’s nickname is “Todallian” and Kyle said that everyone called him that when he came to the team…… It would be a great honor to be an All-Star, but it isn’t up to him….Kyle was able to stay in shape this spring and was ready to go when the Cardinals signed him…….Kyle said it will be a tough decision for him to make because he is enjoying playing in St. Louis and playing for LaRussa and Duncan……He said if the Cardinals don’t resign him, he will have to look at what all the teams offer him in free agency, but he hinted that he would like to stay in St. Louis too.


Chris Moneymaker:
Cat told Chris that Tim is scared to play in the tournament because he talks so much trash. Moneymaker said that there is no reason to be scared……He is very disappointed in how he played in his most recent Omaha tournament yesterday because he lost 60,000 chips in one hand. Chris had been playing a lot of Omaha and thought he had a good chance……He said it is fun to play with a bunch of guys who are inexperienced at the World Series of Poker because he will just keep raising till they fold each time in the beginning…..It makes it tough at poker parties because guys tell him they play because they watched him back in 2003. He said he is just a normal guy so it is weird when he thinks about that…….Chris told Tim that the first couple hours that he is playing at the tournament he will be nervous ……They usually get rid of around 1/3 of the participants on the first day…..Moneymaker’s advice: 1. Don’t go broke with one pair; 2. Enjoy the Experience; 3. Remember that it is just a tournament and relax…..Moneymaker pays for the tournament with cash so he doesn’t know how any else does it. He tells Tim he can just pay for it with $10,000 cash.


Leftover Riff Raff:
Tim looks like the Gerber baby……Doug said he will try to fix Tim’s miss-shaped head……..Producer Joe likes Virginia Slims……When someone stands up in front of Doug at a game, he says “sit your keister down.”……Oates (from Hall & Oates) went bankrupted from buying 5 planes……Mike Tyson was a financial genius……The Arch smells like B.O…….Tim’s previous radio show was better than this one……In Bev is going to force employees to do the wave……Someone emailed in that Tim’s nickname should be “short stack”….Cat said it should be “Sugar Tank.”
