Well, once again this year, whenever the Cardinals have a day game, I’ll have to pull it in from St. Louis on KMOX because WMBD won’t preempt Rush Limbaugh. The Cardinals only play during Rush’s timeslot about 12 times over the summer, and most games don’t start until the third hour Rush is on. Rush is on every day five days a week for three hours.

Would it kill anyone for Rush to be partially preempted twelve stinkin’ times a year? Most of those times it would only be for an hour of his show. Plus, it’s much easier to get his show on WLS out of Chicago than it is to get the Cardinals on KMOX out of St. Louis. Or why not at least put the games on their “sister station” WIRL when there’s a conflict so we can still hear them locally?

Cardinals won today, by the way, 6 to 3 — not that you would’ve known that by listening to local radio.
