What a day.
Grapefruit League play lifted off in Jupiter as the Tigers took the court in Georgia. The Blues played under a microscope following an explosive criticism of effort sparked by coach Craig Berube. Then it was time for Billikens basketball before, oh yeah, the first ever debut of St. Louis’ very own MLS team in Austin.
Some rapid-fire thoughts from our whirlwind Saturday in St. Louis sports ...
• I hope this concern ages poorly, but seeing how Blues extension mates Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas shrugged off and stiff-armed critical comments made by Berube about their lackadaisical play since the sell-off started, and seeing how Berube’s understandable eruption was followed by an overtime loss to a struggling Penguins team, I hope these guys don’t spend what is left of their lost season trying to get Chief fired.
