The Morning After

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……
