Love her or hate her, it warms my heart that Nikki Glaser is still living in St. Louis. And in the City to boot. I mean she hosted the Golden Globes. I really respect her for that.

I still like yellow numbers. I now like blue skies.
The least the Blues could do is have announcers who know the rules. Jeezus this is painful to listen to.
That's a joke. That is not a yellow. They gave a yellow there because RSL got mad about a borderline non-call two minutes before. And that results in a red. This is the reigning 2-time MLS official of the year? That's embarrassing.
Considering the quality of opponent and PP results, this is easily the Blues best game of the year so far. Maybe they’re finding something…
This has been such a horribly officiated US Open Cup Final. Not been a very well played one by CITY either.
I feel like this race in the St. Louis suburbs isn’t getting a lot of attention — maybe because the House is expected to flip regardless — but this seat is very much in play.
The Blues are very simply not going to win enough games if they can’t score on the PP. it’s a massive problem.
Kinda bugs me that we only VAR goal scoring plays and not ones that lead to dangerous set pieces. I don't know if Ferran Torres was offside. I absolutely cannot draw any conclusion from this. But there's a reasonable chance the toe is off if they did the full automated VAR check.
Multiple things are true at once. Billionaires are evidence of system failure. Sometimes the best/only way to get money to do something that needs to be done in the current system is to get money from individuals with a lot of money. Whose money and under what conditions matters *a lot.*
Colts probably gotta fire Steichen. And Ballard for the matter. Right?
I think Jim Montgomery might be the best coach in the NHL. And I'd probably be very seriously considering firing him right now. I also think the Blues should consider revisiting a Thomas trade. I don't care how silly it'd make them look after giving him the C. It's about time for something big.
When the Blues released veteran backup Chad Johnson 2 months into the 2018-19 season, he had played 10 games with 7 starts with a .884 SV% and a 3.55 GAA. Jordan Binnington over his last 43+ games between last year and this year has a .871 SV% and 3.41 GAA. In 2+ GP this yr, he's at .838 and 4.72.
Justin Striebel@jstriebel.com · 2w agoI assume Jordan Binnington has negative trade value, but surely someone would claim off waivers and you could move on from this.

That’s the subhead. The story is a club that’s professed how important it is to not get complacent treated their lineup like they were playing a friendly even though massive points were on the line in a playoff seeding race. Extremely frustrating.
Justin Horneker@hornekerjustin.bsky.social · 2w agoThat's final; St. Louis CITY SC have lost for the first time since May 3rd. #Allforcity 2 MNUFC 3 It's rough after leading 2-0 but they couldn't control the midfield after they took the early lead and that's the story.
They never did. And not only have they dropped points, they’re threatening to blow their streak. In a game they should have put a bow on.
Justin Striebel@jstriebel.com · 2w agoI would appreciate CITY putting their foot back on the gas.
People are really writing stories about the Dodgers dynasty being over? Jeezus. They’ll let people put anything in the paper. They lost one playoff series finally. They’re still stacked, they’re still loaded with cash, and they still have a top farm system. They’re not done.
It rules that the Blues acquired a true #1 center in the offseason.
The Dodgers have won 3 out of the last 6 World Series including, of course, the last two. I'm glad they're hopefully not going to win this year's because that's so boring. But feels weird to be overly gleeful in their demise. Generally speaking, I don't think they'll take it very hard.
CITY didn’t do a lot right with the ball tonight, and when a couple of them did, someone else didn’t. But it was gutsy. It was record-setting. And it keeps you in position for the top seed in the West. Plus it clinches the playoffs.
This really bugs me, and I really wish they’d correct it.

Love to see the fans attending the game in LA get to go home happy.
