Keith, Jason, and Ron discuss the inconsistent performance of the St. Louis Cardinals - are they the May version or was that just a mirage? Does the WNBA need to do a better job protecting Caitlin Clark? A new feature looks wrap up "loose ends." It's the College World Series in Omaha and it has LSU looking formidable on the field and in the Jell-O Shot Challenge. Klaus comes alive for St. Louis City SC, but it's only enough for yet another draw. The Florida Panthers are unstoppable, and Jason plans a historic trip to the horseshoe ... in a Longhorn jersey.

Joe, Doug and Ron celebrate The St. Louis Sportists reaching the 1,000-follower milestone by considering several burning questions. What to make of the St. Louis Cardinals and their many positive pieces that have yet to form a complete puzzle?

We finally have White Smoke from Aaron Rogers' mud hut and money for the Chiefs to stay in Missouri is a virtual certainty. Does that settle where the Chiefs will play home games in the future? Not so fast, my friend. The Hunt Family must consider all options.

The US Open goes to Oakmont where an actual golfer may be lost in the rough and there's no guarantee the winner will be under par. The NCAA clarifies NIL – at least that’s all settled, and challenges are coming to college basketball to (somehow) improve the pace of play. And CITY SC is better but has a long way to go.

Join us for an episode that will fly by without causing fatigue-related issues.

Tony Messenger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch joins Ron at The Local House Bistro in this installment of the Conversations series.

They cover a wide range of topics from public money for stadiums to why Tony can't watch the Denver Broncos in public. Tony shares how growing up with a father as a coach prepared him to be a columnist and if he believes the Cardinals or Blues will someday move from downtown St. Louis to St. Louis County.

Learn about how debtor's prisons still operate in Missouri -- in 2025 as well as what to do on the day you win a Pulitzer Prize (hint - champagne is involved). Come along for the ride -- but don't miss your exit.

Haaaaaaaaaaw! Joe, Doug, Ron and Keith consider if the Cardinals are actually a playoff caliber squad? Are the Rockies so bad that they are legally liable? At what point do you cash in a futures bet? How will history remember the Olaf Melberg era in the annals of St. Louis City SC history? How much can a coach really blame injuries for a sub-par record? Are the SEC and NCAA about to act out a scene from Die Hard 3? Do people care if the Chiefs and Royals play in Missouri or Kansas? How did the NBA reach the current state of unwatchability and what can be done? And would you rather watch the current playoffs or a broadcast of the 1987 Lakers-Celtics? There's no crying on this podcast, and certainly no crying from the yacht. So, knock him out John, and come along for another trip through the swamp with The St. Louis Sportists.

It's the first all-Ava hosted episode of the podcast as Joe, Doug, and Ron bring some Douglas County to the sports topics of the day including the major question before the surging St. Louis Cardinals - when are Arenado, Helsley and others "off the market?" Juan Soto is jogging, ambling or not going all-out, which would NOT fly if you're an Ava Bear. Keith is "tying up loose ends" which leads us to wonder if he woke up this morning and met up with Tony Soprano. City SC is in full-blown crisis and Olaf Mellberg may not be the manager by the time you're reading this. The "tush push" survives in the NFL as the NFL continues to tinker with the rules including the onside kick. Oh, and which NFL player will be the first to blow an ACL in the Olympics playing flag football? NIL and the NCAA move to the fully absurd and Doug shares behind-the-scenes stories from the PGA Championship. All of this and yet another visit to the mudhut (with a prayer for Mike Tomlin) on this week's episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

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

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

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