Sports Writers' Roundtable wrapup Live
For those who work in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newsroom, it's rare to see any of these sports writers in the office, much less together. They're out watching games, practices and writing stories that help sports fans understand their favorite teams.
On Monday, sports columnist Bernie Miklasz moderated a roundtable discussion with Cardinals writer Derrick Goold, baseball writer (and Hall of Famer) Rick Hummel, Mizzou writer Dave Matter, Blues writer Jeremy Rutherford and Rams writer Jim Thomas.
Great to see P-D colleagues tonight: @miklasz @cmshhummel @Dave_Matter @dgoold @jthom1 http://t.co/JbPbaOwKlp

Rick Hummel didn't know how to type when he started sports writing. He wrote stories out and Mom typed them for the first year.

Q from @miklasz "Will the Rams move?" A: @jthom1 thinks it's 55-45 they stay. Relocation fee would be huge.
