A rough patch for the Cards, combined with a Cubs hot streak, has brought the NL Central to a virtual dead heat. With Elliott out this week, Ron and Pete go Old School to discuss the first Cubs-Cards weekend series, another Miles Mikolas injury, and another absolutely CRAZY Javy Baez play on the bases.

A quarter of the way into the season and both the Cardinals and Cubs are right about where the Team of Rivals thought they would be. A soft schedule has helped the Cardinals take hold of the NL Central, but a tougher test lies ahead. The countdown to the Cubs dismantling continues, and we're only halfway through May.  

Ron brings an apparent Jim Edmonds orgasm to everyone's attention, the Padres suffer a COVID setback, and the MLBPA files a long-anticipated grievance over the COVID-shortened 2020 season.

Most significantly, Ron's wife joined the show live. Why? We have no idea.

Far more important than the Cubs sweeping the reigning World Series Champions or the Cardinals taking control of first place in the NL Central is the news that the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim released Albert Pujols. Ron remembers his favorite Albert moment while Pete and Elliott discuss how often they had to take it in the pooholes at Albert's hands. The guys wrap up this week's episode with a review of the premier episode of The Bad Batch.

On the day of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Team of Rivals were eager to see how the Bears would eff it up again, but they finally got it right, trading up to take a real quarterback! Meanwhile, the Cubs are awful – as memorialized by Carlos Zambrano and Lee Elia. The Cardinals tried to kill Bryce Harper, and Little League coaches are sometimes the worst people.
