After three weeks away from the mics, all the guys are back to usher in the new year! Unfortunately, baseball sucks right now, and we're not shy about our feelings regarding that. The Team discusses the lack of progress in MLB labor negotiations, the danger that baseball runs in losing its fans, the Carlos Correa rumors that just won't end, and Netflix's The Battered Bastards of Baseball. And for those of you who just can't get enough… Star Wars is cool again though, so of course we...

Nothing like kicking off our sixth year with a Lockout! After three weeks off, the Team of Rivals is joined by The Show Infiltrator in this car heading nowhere fast.

Pete and Elliott thought they were going to have a nice, relaxing podcast talking about the Cubs offseason moves, the impending announcement of a new GM at 1060 West Addison, and the Ted Lasso season finale.

A quick – albeit interesting – exit in the NL Wild Card Game brings a close to the 2021 season for the Team of Rivals. None of the guys were particularly surprised by the final outcome. (What did you expect facing a 106-win Dodgers team?) After a relatively short discussion of the game, the guys focus on where both teams came up short this season and where they think their front offices should (and not necessarily will) make moves this offseason.

The Cards have won 12 in a row heading into Wrigley for a four-game set this weekend. Their grip on the playoffs has tightened, but will playoff success slip through their fingers when they face the Dodgers or the Giants in the Wild Card Round?

With the Cardinals not losing games on purpose and the Cubs doing the opposite, the guys are a little beside themselves.

The Cardinals, winners of five of their last six, scramble to get into contention while the Cubs lose to anyone willing to play them.
