Hopefully FanDuel will be quickly forced to change that. Especially during a rebuild. We need the Cat, the funniest (best?) dugout/OF/locker-room reporter in regional cable journalism now more than ever. There are dwindling reasons to purchase the TV package from afar …

[Derrick Goold @dgoold]

More Jim Hayes AND more Alexa Datt on #Cardinals broadcasts would clearly be preferred.

That is not the direction FanDuel is going, reports ⁦@caesardan⁩ for @stltoday. https://t.co/IddcIuqT7r

Duffer bros. with a super esoteric callback to The Day After (I’m sure of it) in season 5 of Stranger Things: “A fresh telemetry tag—scarcer than hen’s teeth, these things.” (After Lawrence is nuked in TDA it was a student bunkered in the KU science lab who said it about a radio)

My wife and I are convinced Charlie Hunnam based his “Ed Gein” voice on Wendell the porcupine.

Just re-read “The Road” and found this great paper that uses McCarthy Easter eggs (previous books, “See Rock City”, the town descriptions, etc) to try and nail down the actual route. Reading the book in 06, I remember thinking: this HAS to be the SC coast. https://t.co/E7wIpcDyTy

@katiejwoo @FabianArdaya Congrats, Katie! You’ve been great on the Cardinals beat, chronicling/historically contextualizing these lean years of a great franchise. It stung when the Dodgers won it all with Edman and Flaherty, but now you and possibly Donovan and maybe a three peat… feels like too much.

The apparent “allure” of LSU doesn’t make one sympathetic to Lane Kiffin, but it does remind me of the memoir “It Never Rains in Tiger Stadium” by John Ed Bradley, who, without any maudlin sentimentality, made me feel why it was special. One of the best books about sports.

Final Fantasy I (NES), Final Fantasy II (SNES), and Final Fantasy III (SNES, and which I will always call Final Fantasy III, never VI).

[VideoArtGame @VideoArtGame]

What video game trilogy is this?

Growing up in the next town over I could never figure out why Jackson (Mo.) was always so good at football. Anyway, look at that press box!

[Gateway Sports Venue @GSV_STL]

FINAL
CBC 42 (11-1)
Jackson 45 (12-0)

The Indians defeat the previously unbeaten Cadets who came into today with one of the highest offensive efficiencies in the country. Jackson matched fire with fire & won a slugfest for the ages. Jackson advances to the Class 6 semifinals.

@dgoold @PassingDrill It would be so fun if the Cardinals signed Schwarber (I know it’s much more likely Hades would develop frostbite).

[Justin Heckert @JustinHeckert]

@robwein Nope. Never.

[Justin Heckert @JustinHeckert]

@robwein And before he got hair restoration! It’s impossible to pick a favorite single season ever of TV, BUT the season with Glenn Close going after Anthony Anderson could be that for me. I’ve only seen the season once, too. Better than any season of an HBO prestige show, IMO.

[Justin Heckert @JustinHeckert]

“Big Games” at noon are exquisitely dumb. Nobody is ready for them yet. The day itself isn’t ready for them yet. 3:30 for “Big Games” at the earliest and the darker the evening, the better.

“Screw you, this flight is about MY comfort.” And it’s not even comfortable anyway.

[Justin Heckert @JustinHeckert]

People who recline are evil.

[AD @ADRWC]

Who is right? This woman was traveling in a coach flight & she reclined her seat, the woman behind her wanted more space as she was uncomfortable so she started pushing/kicking her seat. Who do you think is right in this situation? Comment below please!

@CouzWalker Missouri’s stadium is under renovation, cutting seating by 6,000 this season (and raising it next), and the Mountaineers have done next to nothing in the Big 12 since moving there.

Cards should have the top three of these from game 6 of the 2011 World Series alone.

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

The most valuable hits in the MLB playoffs since 2000:

1. Yordan Alvarez vs. Mariners
2. Jimmy Rollins vs. Dodgers
3. Brett Phillips vs. Dodgers
4. Oscar Gonzalez vs. Yankees
T-5. Ivan Rodriguez vs. Giants
T-5. Freddie Freeman vs. Yankees
