The Cubs have made an unexpected push and are hot on the heels of the first place Brewers, giving Pete 2015 vibes, but do other Cubs' fans feel the same? Meanwhile, the Cardinals have reclaimed their spot at the bottom of the division, but Ron's feeling good about Matthew LIberatore. Plus, ten days after the trade deadline, what do the guys think about their respective teams' moves, now that we've had time for it to sink in?

The Trade Deadline is only 48 hours away, which is the only reason that Ron, Elliott, and Pete would record a podcast on a Sunday night. We recap the Cubs recent surge into playoff contention (and out of deadline selling), including a 6-2 run over the Cardinals, including an in-depth discussion of the stupidity that grew out of Ian Happ's ridiculously long back swing and Miles Mikolas' ridiculously selfish reaction. Plus, the Cardinals have started selling. When will they stop, and what will this team look like on Wednesday morning. Finally, have you wished The Birthday Boy a happy one yet? If not, why not? Hit up Elliott "Deadline" Duy on X at @ToR_Elliott, and look forward to our trade recap on Thursday.

The Team can't decide which fans are in worse shape. Cubs fans? They're not sure which direction their team is headed. Cardinals fans? They're being patient (except on Twitter and Facebook) as ever. Will the Cardinals going to win just enough over the next ten days to allow the front office to do nothing? Will the Cubs do something about their infield corners, seeking any consistent threat in the middle of the order? One thing is for sure, in a boring season, these next two weeks hold the promise of change for both sides. OR NOT!

Big news in baseball as the John Mozeliak confirms that, for the first time in three decades, the Cardinals will be sellers at the trade deadline. But who will will be on the block, and will Cardinals Nation miss them when they're gone. Ron and Pete jump on this week to discuss that and the fact that the Cubs will be buyers this year. Or maybe sellers. Who knows? And stop us if you've heard this before, but Elliott missed this week's show.

Stop us if you've heard this before, but Elliott wasn't able to make it this week, so The Streak ends at one. Ron and Pete jump on this week to discuss how little they are looking forward to this weekend's London Series and how poorly MLB seems to have marketed this year's event, especially when compared to the original Yankees-Red Sox edition in 2019. How did something that should have been so big sneak up on two die-hard fans? Is it a lack of hype, or is it the two teams' underperformance relative to preseason expectations? And just how hard is it to root for The Rivalry when both teams are bad? They wrap up this week's episode with a discussion of their favorite baseball fights and quick chat about the future of the Star Wars franchise.

Ron, Elliott, and Pete are back this week to discuss (once again!) just how far the mighty Cardinals have fallen. Have they hit rock bottom, or is there even further to fall? And while Elliott and Pete enjoy the pleasant diversion of the Cubs' recent run of good baseball, the schadenfreude is real, as they revel in which facet of the Cardinals organization is most responsible. Who gets the axe, and who actually deserves the axe?

Finally someone will talk to Ron about football (soccer). He welcomes Tito Rivera (@triveratops) to talk about STL City SC's inaugural season and the impact it has had on the St. Louis community. As big as City has been to the region, MLS announced an even bigger addition this week, as the planet's best player, Lionel Messi, made the decision to join Inter Miami. Tito speculates what this could mean to the sport in North America.

Pete's off gallivanting around Georgia, so Mike "Moose" Stephenson of the Two for Three Podcast joined Ron and Elliott to dicusss this mess at the other end of I-55. Will the Cardinals actually be sellers for the first time in forever? Does that scare the $H!7 out of Cardinals fans? Because It should. The Cubs aren't exempt, but their fans didn't expect them to be. They'll be opening the clearance aisles soon enough.

Let's start with the fact that The One Who Shall Not Be Named lives up to his title yet again this week. The last time both teams were this terrible was 1997! And with the Permanent Occasional Guest Host unavailable to provide play-by-play of an unearthed wrestling vdeo, Ron and Pete are left to laugh through the pain of the Cards and Cubs sharing last place in the NL Central. With a lack of positive news to discuss, they cover a wide range of topics, including front office failings, free agency, and Ron's Insanity.

Pete wound Ron up and let him go this week, as the Cardinals' Willson Contreras-inspired drama dominated the headlines at both ends of the I-55 Rivalry. Just in time for the Cards to take two of three from the Cubs! Oh, and Elliott was here, too!

It's STAR WARS DAY (May the Fourth Be With You), so OF COURSE Elliott is out this week. Ron and Pete go Old School anyway, discussing their Star Wars Weekend plans, the Cubs' prospect anticipation (welcome "Never Nervous Mervis" and Miggy Amaya!), and the Cardinals' worst-in-50-years performance. Finally, Pete gets Ron to play "If I Were in the Front Office" and welcomes him to honorary Cubs Fandom.

It's Draft Day! The one and only thing Ron, Elliott, and Pete have in common is their "foos-ball" team. (Heavy discussion there…) Pete's predictions have been right so far … or have they? The Cardinals have looked terrible so far, the Cubs have been competitive, and are the Pirates for real? Baseball has been a struggle for all of the Midwestern teams (looking at you Sox fans), and deservedly so!

Happy 4/20 everyone! All three hosts made it to the show this week, navigating through the haze of smoke, the Cubs' entertaining start, and the Cardinals' failed launch. What else entertained them this week? MadBum's DFA, the Las Vegas A's, STL City SC, and speculation over the two lucky cities that will win an MLB franchise.

Ron and Pete are both on the road this week, and Elliott is at the Blackhawks game. But it's Opening Day, so let's record an episode! Of course the Permanent Occasional Guest Host can't be bothered to join, so we go Old School, with a flashback to the podcast's early days - bad audio and all. Ron and Pete discuss Opening Day for both teams, as well as the obvious effects of the new rules. (Nineteen runs, 34 hits, and nine walks in only 3:38?!?!) They also talk about the Japanese Unicorn, and trolling the internet.

It's Old School Ron and Pete this week, with a couple of surprise appearances! Spring Training is in full swing, and the WBC kicks off. Concerns about the Cardinals pitching staff and questions about young talent on both sides of the rivalry are going to make it hard for both the Cubs and the Cards as they begin to whittle down their big league rosters.

The Permanent Occasional Guest Host takes a week off, so it's an Old School Reunion. Ron and Pete recap their weekends with talk of St. Louis FC and the Fall of Pompeii. They finally get down to business and talk about MLB's post-RSN landscape and their thoughts after the first week of Spring Training. Finally, The Show Interruptor joins for what may become a permanent segment, Willson Watch. This week's show is brought to you by Michelob Ultra and Knobel Tennessee Whiskey.

After a month off of the pod, Ron, Elliott, and Pete get back together just in time for the start of Spring Training. They discuss Tim McCarver's passing, Shohei Ohtani's future free agency (and a possible midseason trade?), and the sudden collapse of the Sinclair RSNs. Plus, they take on Joe West's inability to stay out of the spotlight in retirement. They wrap up the show with a rundown of their favorite Spring Training clichés and the rule changes that they are most (and least) looking forward to. Finally, Ron talks to himself about the XFL back in The Lou.

With the conclusion of Cubs Con and Winter Warm-Up, Ron, Elliott, and Pete get together again for a post-conventions review. Are they feeling any more optimistic now that the annual feel-good gatherings have taken place? Does the ZIPS projection for the Cardinals make Ron feel better? Elliott feel worse? They also speculate about how the upcoming rules changes will affect the game, and Ron lights into Pete for his hardheadedness regarding Disney Star Wars.

Ron, Elliott, and Pete kick off the New Year by catching up on the Cubs' free agent activity since our last epsiode. Do they take this seriously, and does Elliott feel better since his mid-December rant? The Cardinals addressed their biggest need (catcher), but then stopped. Are they working on something else? Hopefully it's starting pitching, but most likely they are "comfortable with who we have." Same BS, different year. Stick around to the end for the Saga of Tony in Medina, Ohio.

Elliott's back, and he's representing most of Cubs fandom with an opening rant for the ages! After digging into the Cubs' relative inaction this offseason, Ron leads the Team on a discussion of the Cardinals' usual operation: Making one big move (e.g. Goldschmidt, Arenado, Contreras) and then sitting back and doing nothing to fix the starting rotation. Will the remainder of this offseason be different for either team?

It's one of the best times of the year for baseball fans! (Sorry, Pittsburgh and Kansas City.) The Winter Meetings finally returned to normal, and it was nuts! Unique this year for Cubs and Cardinals fans, but not unheard of (Mr. Fowler). A Cubs fan favorite moves to the other side of the rivalry, and the Team certainly has some strong feelings about that. Much more to talk about this week, with more moves still to come.

Ron and Pete jump on for what is likely the final podcast of the season during Game 5 of the 2022 World Series. With nothing on the line at this point in the playoffs, they turn their attention to what will likely be a busy offseason for both the Cubs and the Cardinals. • Will the Cards swap defense for offense behind the plate? • Is Mo really going to bump the payroll, and is that tied to Nolan Arenado's decision to leave millions on the table? • How much of an impact will Jeff Albert's and Mike Maddux's departures have on the team's performance? • The Cubs' offseason will consist of two major decision points: the 40-man roster deadline and their free agency choices. Ron and Pete also go off on fans complaining about old, white broadcasters, and Ron undertakes his annual Twitter purge. Oh, and the Occasional Temporary Guest Host may have lost his title for the last time.

TEAM OF RIVALS ASSEMBLE! Elliott's back from his self-imposed exile to discuss the quick end to the Cardinals' postseason, the mediocrity of the NL Central, and what the future holds for two teams in flux. The guys also discuss the 2022 postseason while watching Game 2 of the ALCS. Finally, Pete poses the question: Which of the World Series Core do the Cubs miss most?

Ron and Pete sit down to discuss the relative value of the two newly-minted home run records and why those numbers don't seem as important as they did two decades ago. It's also a bad week to be a former Cardinals manager. Finally, they wrap up the week by reflecting on the 2022 regular season and making their predictions for the 2022 postseason. Plus, we've gone pro! In a first for the Team of Rivals podcast, Elliott's content is now behind the paywall. Subscribe today at the website. (You will always receive The Originals' for free.)
