There is now a high school kid who lives in my house, it's crazy.

Here are this week's stories:

TUESDAY Five Under-the-Radar Deadline Trades (MLB.com) WEDNESDAY What the Deadline Meant for the Cardinals (MLB.com) This Week's Power Rankings (MLB.com)

THURSDAY John Oliver, Our Last Great Hope (The Washington Post)

PODCASTS

Grierson & Leitch (subscribe in iTunes) Grierson and I discussed "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "All the President's Men."

Morning Lineup (subscribe in iTunes) I did Monday's, Tuesday's, Thursday's and Friday’s shows.

Seeing Red (subscribe in iTunes) Bernie and I did a post-deadline show. I cannot believe I am old enough to have a child in high school. Absurd. Have a great week, all, and remember: Career Day offers two choices, the Marines or the Michigan Militia.

We are in the "hey, when we are in a new city, we should check out the nice college campuses there" portion of our life's journey.

Here are this week's stories:

MONDAY This Week's Power Rankings (MLB.com)

TUESDAY Who Are the Cardinals Likely to Trade at the Deadline? (MLB.com)

THURSDAY Gen-Xers Need to Go Back to the Movie Theater (The Washington Post) FRIDAY Your August Month in Preview (MLB.com)

PODCASTS

Grierson & Leitch (subscribe in iTunes) Grierson and I were off this week, but you should go back and listen to our Odyssey chat.

Morning Lineup (subscribe in iTunes) I did Thursday's and Friday’s show.

Seeing Red (subscribe in iTunes) Bernie and I tried to nail down whom the Cardinals will trade.

My kids are back to school NEXT WEEK. We do it early in the south. Have a great week, all, and remember: That’s what it’s like with Oliver Stone. You pick up the phone and 30 seconds later he’s fighting for his life.

#week in review

I will very much miss this tournament.

Here are this week's stories:

SUNDAY A Lame World Cup Final, But a Great World Cup (New York)

TUESDAY So What's Up With the Orioles? (MLB.com)

WEDNESDAY What's the Framework for a Jordan Walker Deal? (MLB.com)

THURSDAY What This World Cup Meant (The Washington Post)

PODCASTS

Grierson & Leitch (subscribe in iTunes) Grierson and I dug into "The Odyssey" and "Office Space."

Morning Lineup (subscribe in iTunes) I did Friday’s show.

Seeing Red (subscribe in iTunes) Bernie and I talked trade deadline.

Seriously, I want to go to the next World Cup and every World Cup. Have a great week, all, and remember: He picks up a beer, he smokes a joint, and then life goes on fast-forward as he gobbles up drugs and booze with both hands, while betraying his friends and making life miserable for anyone who loves him. By the age of 27 he is dead. Watching the movie is like being stuck in a bar with an obnoxious drunk, when you’re not drinking.

We went hiking and made an album cover.

Here are this week's stories:

PODCASTS

My kids go back to school in two weeks, it's crazy. Have a great week, all, and remember: The fact that the book was driving its readers mad might have provided an opening for some entertaining satire. The Charlton Heston character, a publisher who stands to make millions by selling the book, might have been expanded into more of a hypocrite. What about the government? Is a book that makes you paranoid protected by free speech?

Seeing Red (subscribe in iTunes) Bernie and I were off this week.

I am about to go back to North Carolina, where I have abandoned our family on our vacation. Have a great week, all, and remember: Here we have a celebration of a legendary woman (for those who take the film superficially) and a moral tale of a misspent life (for those who see more clearly).

Go Keaton Wagler. Have a great week, everyone, and remember: “I know he had a dark side,” she says at one point, “but I never saw it, and I don’t want to know about it.” Well, we know about it, and that’s what makes the film so absorbing and so disturbing.

#weekinreview

I cannot buy enough Knicks championship stuff. Have a great week, all, and remember: Yes, he says, “I do think it is fair to say that Roger Ebert destroyed film criticism.” I was actually quite chuffed to read this. He’s the only one of my colleagues willing to admit the power of my influence.

#weekinreview

Morning Lineup (subscribe in iTunes) I did Friday’s show.

Seeing Red (subscribe in iTunes) Bernie and I talked more Cardinals.

Off to first trip to St. Louis next week. Took too long. Have a great week, all, and remember: She never worked in Hollywood again. She had a triumph later in 1967, in a series of concerts at the Palace in New York, the Opera House in Chicago, and elsewhere. But she was clearly on some kind of downward spiral, and when news of her death came, it was not a surprise.

If you get a chance to see a game in Sacramento, you should do so!

Here are this week's stories:

MONDAY This Week's Power Rankings (MLB.com)

FRIDAY These Divisional Matchups Told Us a Lot (MLB.com)

PODCASTS

Morning Lineup (subscribe in iTunes) I did Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's shows.

Seeing Red (subscribe in iTunes) Bernie and I kept our shirts on to talk about the Cardinals.

The school year is over. We made it. Have a great week, and remember: We are looking out through their eyes, instead of into them, as we would in more serious drama. We are on a quest, on a journey, on a mythological expedition. The story elements in the “Star Wars” trilogy are as deep and universal as storytelling itself. Watching these movies, we’re in a receptive state like that of a child–our eyes and ears are open, we’re paying attention, and we are amazed.

This is where I will be this week, I am looking forward to it.

Here are this week's stories: MONDAY This Week's Power Rankings (MLB.com)

Sacramento! Greta Gerwig country! Have a great week, all, and remember: I have a weakness for actresses like Greta Gerwig. She looks reasonable and approachable. Some actresses are all edges and polish. This one, you could look up and see her walking dreamily through a bookstore, possibly with a Penguin Classic already in her hand.

#weekinreview

I missed this show in 1993, but I wrote about Nirvana over the weekend and now close my eyes and pretend I was there.

This jacket is, in the words of my kids, "tough."

Morning Lineup (subscribe in iTunes) I did Monday's and Friday's shows.

Seeing Red (subscribe in iTunes) Bernie and I talked the fading Cardinals.

It's almost May 2026, I can't believe it, we have really survived so far. Have a great week, all, and remember: The original John Reed was a dashing young man from Portland who knew a good story when he found one.

I am enjoying the baseball.

Here are this week's stories:

MONDAY MLB Power Rankings (MLB.com)

TUESDAY Jim Dolan Deserves Nothing (New York)

THURSDAY Seeing Bob Dylan in 2026 (The Washington Post)

FRIDAY Cardinals Piece (MLB.com)

Grierson & Leitch (subscribe in iTunes) Fun show, with "The Christophers," "Lee Cronin's The Mummy" and "Normal."

Morning Lineup (subscribe in iTunes) I did Thursday’s show.

Seeing Red (subscribe in iTunes) Bernie and I talked the (almost) first place Cardinals.

The Dylan show is tonight. Been 20 years since I saw that guy. Have a great week, all, and remember: What a jerk Bob Dylan was in 1965. What an immature, self-important, inflated, cruel, shallow little creature, lacking in empathy and contemptuous of anyone who was not himself or his lackey. Did we actually once take this twirp as our folk god?

#weekinreview

Might put this on my car next time I'm back in Illinois.

Morning Lineup (subscribe in iTunes) I did Thursday's show.

Seeing Red (subscribe in iTunes) Bernie and I talked Jordan (the great) Walker.

Vacation was well worth it. But back to work now. Have a great week, all, and remember: Maybe the makers of “Airplane II” exhausted their powers of comic invention at that point. Comedy is fairly hard work.
