Wake up early, turn on MLB Network in time to watch the @Cardinals look like a damn Little League team. Hard to have TWO errors on one play, but leave it to the Birds. Next highlights, Maton a scoreless 8th and next highlights, Edman scores a run. The floor continues to sink!!!.

Not that this is needed, but as a diehard Cardinals baseball fan- nobody I feared more than Ryne Sandberg!!. When I was young, I called him Ryan because it was my only defense against his greatness. …and he was Great!!. Very sorry for Cubs Nation!!.

I always wonder if I’ll just stop being nervous when Andrew pitches. My guess is NO. I’m not sure if it keeps me young or ages me, but I LOVE every second of it!!. #LETSROLL.

Sharing a mic with this guy for 6 years was truly a blessing…but, I always insist that Pipes true talent is writing!!. Hardly would an article pass, that I wasn’t impressed by a paragraph, a line or the quick wit!!. You were terrific on the air, even better behind a computer!!.
My 12-year sports media career has been the ride of a lifetime, and I've been lucky enough to spend 9 of those years at a special place in Illini Inquirer. But it's time to do something different. My column:

Took the night off from my phone, but wanted to respond today. I’ve been extremely lucky having such great Co-Hosts and Pipes fit the role to perfection. The last 6 years have been so much fun for me and we all loved having someone so informative leading the way. Well Done Pipes!.
As I shared on-air, next Wednesday will be my last show on @TheDrive935. Incredibly grateful for all the listeners & the opportunity to hang out with @LonTayESPNCU for the last 6 years. Very hard to walk away from. But here’s to having a blast on the way out. Talk next week.

So, in what could be a big game for the @Cardinals tomorrow, they elect to use Pallante and not your “Ace”. We wonder why fans question this organization . I get the 6-man, but no way in HELL I’m skipping the Cubs with my top gun. Such a weird mindset in St Louis these days!!. #F.

In a game that was much closer than the final, @AndrewTay13 came out firing - striking out 11!!. Braves led 2-1 in the 5th and caught fire to beat a solid Taylorville team 9-1 and advance!!. Rochester Saturday for Regional Final!!
