We're dedicating this entire 3 hour program to our friend and colleague Joe Strauss who passed away from Leukemia on Sunday morning, despite their heated debates on the show The Cat always had great respect and rapport with "El Diablo" and was crushed by the news, Tim shares some of the details of Joe's illness, nobody seems to understand what he was doing on twitter, it's difficult not to link Joe's passing with his friend Bryan Burwell who left us just over a year ago, MLB insider Ken Rosenthal worked with "El Diablo" for 4 years at the Baltimore Sun and joins us to share some thoughts on Joe, Tim brings up how valuable it was to have Strauss in town as the voice of dissent, The Cat points out that he changed the words we used in sports discussion on an everyday basis, despite the #TrumanDown hashtag Joe's daughter attends Mizzou and Tim says she's downright brilliant, Post-Dispatch Rams reporter Jim Thomas checks in to share some memories about his colleague, Charlie brought up the Bryan Burwell memorial service and Tim believes that was a signature moment for Joe because he took the "El Diablo" mask off, that moment is somewhat commensurate to Bill Mazeroski's Hall of Fame speech, Tim shares some detail on how Joe stepped up to support Burwell before Bryan passed away last year, Post-Dispatch sports editor Roger Hensley joins us to discuss the challenge of covering Joe's passing in the newspaper, a bit of other news is that our simulcast on 105.7 HD 2 FM is now up and running, the first voice Tim heard on FM was the Plow Boy.
