Toasted St. Louis

The end has come!

No, not for the show, but Vladimir Tarasenko's time with the St. Louis Blues. We break down the deal and tell you who could be next.

The NHL isn't the only league swinging deals, the NBA had a crazy last 48 hours. Did the playoff landscape change?

Plus, March Madness is near, which conference tournament is the most intriguing and where do Mizzou, SLU and Illinois sit in the latest bracketology?

What a week for announcements!

The Cardinals officially unveiled a new television play-by-play voice, Mizzou picked up a new Special Teams Analyst and some guy in Tampa retired again.

Plus, the Super Bowl is set; we give you our first reactions to the Eagles and the Chiefs. And, the NHL All-Star Weekend begins on Friday, does anyone actually care?

All of that and more.

The NHL Playoffs move into the second round beginning tonight. The Blues are in Colorado for their matchup against one of the best teams in the West. Our predictions for the series are coming your way.

A split doubleheader for the Cardinals and Mets today. How did game 1 go? Live updates for game 2.

What a treat, not, that we get not one but two late-night games for local teams.

The Blues come home for Game 3 after stealing home-ice advantage from the Wild. With injuries mounting, can they hold that advantage and take the series lead? Plus, we have live updates of other Stanley Cup Playoff action.

The Cardinals are on the west coast for game 2 of their 4-gm set with the Giants. After a 7-1 victory on Thursday, what do Jordan Hicks and the Cardinal offense have in store for us tonight?

Baseball fans have MADE IT! After two long years of starts and stops plus the threat of a lockout, MLB FINALLY got to have a normal Opening Day and Weekend. But after all of the pomp and circumstance, what actually is going to happen? We bring you our MLB season predictions and tell you who WE think will win the World Series.

Two years after willing Mo to finally trade for Nolan Arenado, we have done it again! Albert is back in a Cardinals uniform and you can thank us now!

Seriously, what does Albert bring to the table, and do the Cardinals need to do more? Plus, the latest injury news and more from camp.

The Blues rebounded after a thumping on Saturday by picking up a crucial win over the Canucks. Are they back or was it just a flash in the pan? Who is your starter if the playoffs started now?

The Final Four is set and boy is it a doozy. The hated Jayhawks take on Villanova and the crème de la crème of matchups; Duke vs North Carolina for the first time ever in the NCAA Tournament and in Coach K's final year to boot. Who wins on Saturday and who cuts down the nets on Monday?

After some technical difficulties on Tuesday, we are back to talk all manner of sports!

NCAA March Madness

MLB Spring Training

NHL and NBA trade deadline and playoff push

NFL off-season craziness

President of the St. Louis Browns Historical Society and Fan Club, Ed Wheatley, joins us to talk about the history of a team that doesn't get enough recognition but still has deep ties to the city. What do you want to know about the Browns? Let us know.

We also pick his brain about the famous Wrestling at the Chase and the influence St. Louis has had on the wrestling scene.

The hand-wringing is over! MLB and the MLB Players Union have struck a deal! Baseball is back!!! We break down how we got here and what's to come over the next few days and weeks.

Conference Tournaments are underway in college basketball. We will check in on Mizzou, SLU and Illinois as they try to stamp their spot in the Big Dance.

The NFL has tried to steal the sports world thunder the last few days and today didn't disappoint either. Who is the next big name on the move?

The Blues try again to end their slump when they host the Rangers. We will have live updates during the show.

Time kicks ticking as MLB and the MLBPA try to end the lockout before games start to be affected. As the Monday deadline looms, has any progress been made? We check in on the latest.

The Blues are riding a 5-game point streak as they return home Friday night for a matchup versus the Buffalo Sabres. The Blues sit in second in the Central but will Doug Armstrong be active at the upcoming trade deadline? What is the Blues biggest need and who could fill that spot?

College basketball is hitting the stretch run as teams start preparing for their conference tournaments. #15 Illinois hosts #22 Ohio St. tonight as they try to keep pace with Wisconsin and Purdue at the top of the Big Ten. SLU is fighting for a good seed in the A-10 tournament and will need to take out Richmond on Friday to stay in the top 4. Is a conference tournament win the only way the Billikens make the Big Dance?

Tom Brady retires, then he doesn't, then he does.

Jim Harbaugh leaves Michigan for Minnesota, then he doesn't.

The indecision is running rampant in the NFL and we aren't sure who to believe. We try our best to break it all down.

The Blues are on a break, at least for the next 12 days. Where do they stand going into All-Star Weekend?

MLB and the MLBPA resumed talks this week, are we any closer?

Pull up a stool, grab a beverage and join us in the Tavern!

What a weekend in sports!!

The NFL gave us one of the most compelling weekends of football we have seen in a long time. Who choked and who was just the better team? Plus, where do our picks go now for the Big Game?

MLB and the MLBPA met today in the midst of the lockout. How did the conversation go?

The Blues are back on the ice less than 24 hours after beating Vancouver. Can they make it 4 straight? We give you live updates.

Plus, the NCAA is in the midst of conference play in basketball, where do our local teams sit? 

So much for Monday being a boring day to start the week.

MLB kicked off free agency with one of the biggest spending sprees we have seen. The Rangers spent half a billion, the Mets lost their minds and multiple Gold Glove winners are on the move. And the Cardinals just sit back and wait, hoping to catch some crumbs.

Week 12 in the NFL was nothing short of horrific for Scott and Wags picks but we did answer some questions. Who are the top dogs and who missed a golden opportunity? Plus, can Monday Night Football be just as bad as the Sunday night game?

The Blues are back in action Tuesday night and we will see even more new faces as the injury list grows. A quartet of games against the Florida teams looms and could very well give an indication of where this team is heading.

Plus, more college football moves and much more!

With a CBA fight brewing, the free agent pitching market surprisingly heats up. Multiple big names are on the move (but some are staying home). Who has landed where and for how long? Plus, major awards are being handed out this week. Who has to upgrade their award shelf?

The Blues are streaking!!! But not in a good way. What does the latest loss to the worst team in the league mean for this season?

NFL picks did not go so well at all last week. Can we rebound?

MLB Network Radio host and Mizzou alum Dani Wexelman joins us to talk about the MLB playoffs and where the Cardinals might be going in their manager search.

Plus, the Blues look to remain undefeated when they take the ice in Sin City to face the Vegas Golden Knights. Who is in for Pavel Buchnevich?

And speaking of replacements, who is it we are seeing as the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns tomorrow night? Baker is out and he may not be the only one. We get you set for Thursday Night Football.

Former St. Louis Cardinals Manager Mike Shildt responded to his firing today. All of the juicy details about what went wrong in tonight's episode. Oh wait, were there any? Find out.

The Blues take on the Arizona Coyotes out in the desert. What team will we see tonight and who is in and out  of the lineup?

Week 6 is just about in the books. How did we do with our picks? Plus, our winners (Jacksonville?) and losers (Chargers?).

The St. Louis Cardinals shocked their fans today with the firing of manager Mike Shildt. What does that mean for the future of this team and the players and coaches? Why now? Whose next?

The St. Louis Blues aren't going to let the Cardinals still all their thunder. The Blues open up the season on Saturday in Colorado with a bunch of new faces in the mix. BluesFanReacts joins us to predict the NHL season.

It's Thursday night which means it's the start of the NFL week. We get you our picks for the week and keep you updated on the Thursday night game.

As training camp winds down, there's some interesting roster questions that the St. Louis Blues still need to solve.

Is it too early or NOW for Scotty Perunovich and Jake Neighbours? Is it time for Klim Kostin to graduate to the NHL? Does James Neal or Michael Frolik make this team? Can Dakota Joshua keep a roster spot...at the expense of someone like, say, MacKenzie MacEachern?

Tom Franklin takes a look at where things stand.

It's over. The Zach Sanford Era is over. He's Ottawa's problem now.

PLUS...Shane Ryan of the Sens Hour Podcast joins us to give us the inside scoop on Logan Brown, the native St. Louisan and son of former Blue Jeff Brown. Long story short: he's just as happy to be rid of Brown as we are with Sanford.

Also, Doug Armstrong's sticking around for a bit. Yay...?

2. 24:01 - Shane Ryan of the Sens Hour podcast joins us to talk getting Sanford, Logan Brown's past/present/future, Canadian politics, Patrik Berglund and the scourge that is playing hockey in Buffalo

Scott and Wags are pumped up for Week 4 of the college football season. This week there are some important Top 25 matchups and maybe we put a team on upset alert (looking at you Big 12).

Two massive neutral-site games could see offenses zipping up and down the field. Two Top 10 teams have potential trap games and a Pac 12 matchup that has lots of implications.

Plus, Mizzou travels East for an early tilt against Boston College and Illinois looks to get back in the win column at Purdue.

Peter Chiarelli has a fancy title with the St. Louis Blues, and Ken Hitchcock is back, lending his wisdom.

And you Blues fans can't stand it.

In today's Fresh Toast, Tom Franklin explains why we're reading WAAAAAY too much into these moves.

Robert Thomas and the Blues end the drama, with the youngster signing a two-year, $2.8 million AAV deal. But why is his deal so similar to Jordan Kyrou's when the two have taken vastly different paths over the last couple seasons?

Tom Franklin answers that, plus a look at where Robert Thomas...and PTO invitee James Neal fit in a Blues lineup that still has depth to spare. Can Neal still be the "Real Deal"?

Welcome to the debut episode of Fresh Toast! Short-form videos for you to devour when you start your day! Let us know what you think of this concept!
