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.

It's an old school episode, as Elliott is off … somewhere, leaving Ron and Pete to sit on the porch and complain about the kids on the lawn. The Cardinals lost another series and now find themselves in last place in the NL Central. The Cubs, meanwhile, manage to move out of the cellar – by half a game! – by taking care of business with the Mets. Inspired by last week's episode, Ron lays out what he wants to see from the Cardinals front office and his frustrations with Mike Shildt's lineups (and Matt Carpenter's continued presence therein.)

Only 12 games into the season, and Pete and Elliott are laying out their plans/wishes to tear the Cubs roster down. Cardinals fans are at odds on whether Matt Carpenter is still good, unlucky, or just plain sucks. Twitter can't figure it out, but really, it never does.

The title reads enthusiasm because baseball is back, and with real fans in the stands. Is that enough to bring the game back? The Team of Rivals hopes so, but it does feel different. Ron, Pete, and Elliott talk about what happened on baseball's Opening Day, and it wasn't as energetic as you'd think.

It’s Pop Culture Night on the Team of Rivals! After a false start on the tech side (which was no doubt Pete’s fault), Ron and Elliott give the show over to Ron’s brother Scott, Friend of the Show Holy Elle, and The Show Interruptor to discuss domestic developments, weight loss transformations, Gina Carano, Fernando Tatis, Jr., the Marvel Universe, and (of course!) Star Wars.

Two Birds, one Stone. This week, the full Team of Rivals teamed up with Two Birds on a Bat's Ruffled Feathers to welcome back the sounds of baseball crowds, the business of sports television, and both fanbases' nervousness at the onset of 2021 spring training. Pete, Ron, and Elliott also talk about the Cubs revisitation of the Jake Arrieta trade, middle reliever longevity, and projection systems. And Ron wraps up the night by speculating about his blue-eyed crush's destination at the trade deadline.

Ron and Pete wake up early on Valentine's Day to dedicate some time to their one, true love: the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry. Jake Arrieta is back with the Cubs on a one-year deal, and Jack Flaherty is not happy with baseball's arbitration system (and maybe his employer?). Surprisingly enough, neither Ron nor Pete is happy with it either.

This week's big topic was obviously the Cardinals acquisition of the All-Star 3rd baseman from Colorado, the Cubs few moves, and the Brewers signing of Kolten Wong. Things escalated quickly, though, as news broke that Dexter Fowler had been shipped to Anaheim to join his former manager. Finally, Ron, Pete, and Elliott discussed how all of their shit-talk backfired regarding the NL Central.

Well, it happened. The Cardinals did it! We didn't think anything significant was going to occur for 2021, but they had us fooled. @Dylan_Dinger joined Ron late on a Friday night to discuss this amazing day!

The first livestream of 2021 leads off with great news for Andrew Knizner: Adam Wainright is back, which surely means that Yadier Molina is not far behind! Pete spreads Cubs spending conspiracies, and then the guys go deep on the rest of the NL Central. (LOL, not really: The Brewers have a new sign, Pittsburgh has lost the will to live, and the Reds could be moving even more arms.) Listen to the end for super-hot technology and Star Wars talk!

Super Producer Geno scored a big one this week, as former Cubs and current Atlanta Braves broadcaster joined Ron, Pete, and Elliott (late, as usual!) for a wide-ranging interview covering his broadcasting career, his time with the Cubs, and his thoughts on the game of baseball. Plus, Chip explains why he made the right move to not become the voice of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1995.

It's a new year, but with the same old complaints from the Team of Rivals Podcast. Did the Cubs get fleeced when they traded Yu Darvish to the Padres last week? And how bad does that trade look in light of the Mets' deal for Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco? As always, you can count on the Show Interruptor to make an appearance for his weekly segment, where he discusses Yu Darvish, Francisco Lindor, and Yadi Molina.

Ahsoka finally arrives in The Mandalorian, which gave Ron yet another reason to complain about her original depiction in The Clone Wars movie. Ultimately, Ron, Pete, and Elliott LOVED that Dave Filoni finally had the opportunity to bring Ahsoka onto the “big” screen.

Elliott, Ron, and Pete are less than excited by “The Passenger”. The takeaway from this week’s episode: “Stop eating things!” When will Boba Fett return, and how much of an impact will he have on this season’s story arc?
