Luke 18:1-8Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my accuser.' For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.'” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” “We don't take no for an answer.” That was the motto of Sisters of Mercy JoAnn Persch and Pat Murphy — the two women I affectionately call my nuns. I've talked about these holy troublemakers before, you may remember, but with today's story of a persistent widow, I can't help returning to the two most persistent people I've ever met. In 2007, on a cold, rainy Friday — the day buses rolled out of the Broadview Deportation Center bound for the airport — the sisters stood on the sidewalk and prayed. They prayed for the men being deported and the families left behind, for the judges who signed the orders, the ICE agents who carried them out, and the lawmakers who wrote the policies. Then they went home.But the next Friday, they came back. And the next. Rain or shine, they kept showing up. When they asked to go inside and accompany the families as they said goodbye, the answer was no. When they asked again, the answer was still no. Finally, the top ICE official in Chicago — who knew them by name at this point — said, “You can't come in here. But you might try McHenry County Jail. They could use some pastoral care.” So they called. Again the answer was no. So they lobbied, wrote letters, met with legislators — and got a new law passed that allowed spiritual care in detention centers. Eventually they were even permitted to board the buses and offer a final blessing as they pulled away.Sister Pat used to tell me: “You see, Cogan, we get told no all the time. People, especially those in power, underestimate us because of how old we are and what we look like. But we don't get discouraged. We work peacefully and persistently. We do what needs doing. And we don't take no for an answer.”The sisters remind me that we've had the wrong image of widows all along: in Scripture and in this parable. When we hear the word widow, all the old stereotypes rush in: a poor, frail, vulnerable woman begging for help. But that's not the picture the Bible paints, and it's not the woman Jesus describes today. Think of Tamar, who risked everything to secure justice when others denied it to her. Or Ruth, who crossed borders and broke norms to provide for herself and Naomi. The widow of Zarephath, who spoke truth to the prophet and demanded that God make good on divine promises. The widow of Nain, whose grief moved Jesus to act and whose life was restored along with her son's. As one scholar put it, Biblical widows aren't weak. “They move mountains; they're expected to be poor, but prove savvy stewards; expected to be exploited, they take advantage where they find it.” Truth be told, most churches today run not because of pastors but because of faithful women, on the front lines and behind the scenes, who keep showing up, praying, organizing, and holding it all together.Most of us have heard this parable preached the same way: if even an unjust judge will finally give in to a widow's cry, how much more will God hear and answer when we cry out? In that reading, God is the opposite of the judge — fair, responsive, merciful. And that's a good and faithful way to read it.But lately I've wondered: what if the story turns the other way? What if God isn't the opposite of the unjust judge, but rather the persistent, justice-demanding widow herself? What if we are the ones sitting in the judge's seat, reluctant, distracted, slow to listen, until finally, through prayer, through people, through grace, we give in?Because that's how I've come to recognize God's work in Scripture and in my own life. God calls, nudges, insists, pushes people to do what God wants done — until we finally yield. Think of Abraham and Moses, Jonah and Jeremiah, Paul and even Pharaoh. God persists, sometimes pesters, always prevails.In this moment, I think we look a lot more like the judge. With all the division and distrust around us, it's easy to say, I've lost all respect for those people. I've lost respect for those who vote differently than me. For those protesting and for those who don't. For Democrats. For Republicans.For anyone who dares to enjoy the Super Bowl halftime show.We laugh, but it's true. Like the judge, we've grown tired and cynical. We've lost trust — not only in one another, but sometimes in God's work and timing in the world. And I don't say that to shame anyone. I understand it. Things feel difficult, dangerous, and disheartening. War still rages in Ukraine. A ceasefire hangs by a thread in Gaza. Inequality deepens across the globe. And closer to home, many of us are still waiting: for healing that doesn't come, for a relationship to mend, for a prayer to be answered but only seems to echo in the abyss.After enough of that, you start praying less, not because you've stopped believing, but because you're tired of being disappointed. Eventually, no prayer feels safer than another unanswered one. And before long, like the judge, you stop looking for God altogether. You decide it's up to you to figure it out.Maybe that's how the judge became who he was — not heartless, but hardened. Not evil, just exhausted.But the story doesn't end there, because, like my nuns, God doesn't give up that easily. When we least expect it, God, like the widow, starts pursuing us. And that's what happens in prayer. Often we think prayer is us pursuing God. But what if it's the opposite. What if prayer isn't just our words reaching to heaven; it's God reaching toward us. In the quiet moments of our days, in the stillness when we try to rest, God is there: tugging at our hearts, stirring us awake, urging us not to give up hope, to forgive and seek forgiveness, to hold on to the relationships that matter, to see the dignity and humanity in every person.As the great Danish theologian Søren Kierkegaard once said, “Prayer does not change God, but it changes the one who offers it.”The judge finally relents, but not out of compassion. The text says he does it “so she won't bother me.” That's the polite, cleaned-up translation. A truer rendering of the Greek is something like, “so she doesn't give me a black eye,” or, as one commentator puts it, “so she doesn't slap me in the face.” Now that's a granny with some grit!And before we get too quick to dismiss that image, the idea that God might wrestle or wear us down, remember Jacob. He wrestled with God all night long until daybreak, refusing to let go until he received a blessing. He didn't walk away untouched; he limped for the rest of his life. Because that's what real encounters with God do, they leave a mark.Richard Foster once wrote, “Our prayer efforts are a genuine give-and-take, a true dialogue with God, and a true struggle.” Prayer, at its deepest, isn't about soothing words or easy answers. It's a holy struggle; one that leaves us changed: sometimes limping, sometimes bruised, but always blessed and better because of it. Pat Murphy passed away this past July at the young age of ninety-six. At her bedside, the last thing JoAnn said to her was, “Pat, remember, we don't take no for an answer. When you get to heaven, you go to God, and you don't take no for an answer. We need help down here — help for our immigrants, help for our country.”Prayer is the process by which God makes us less like the judge and more like Sister Pat: one whose whole life is a prayer, offering respect for all people, trusting that God is at work in the world and through her, and demanding justice and peace in a world that needs so much of both.So, in the words of Jesus, pray always. Don't lose heart. And, in the words of the Nuns, don't take no for an answer. If we do that, God will indeed find faith: the faith of a widow. Amen.

National League Championship Series Games Three and FourMilwaukee Brewers @ Los Angeles DodgersThe Dodgers come back to Chavez Ravine with a two games to none series lead, behind dominant starts from Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Brewers did a decent job of limiting the Dodgers potent offense, but couldn't string together anything in the first two games. And it won't get any easier for Pat Murphy's guys, as they will face the talented Tyler Glasnow in game three, and then Shohei Ohtani in game four. They've had no issue with Ohtani at the plate, who has struggled mightily since a two homer game to start this postseason. Fortunes can change quickly in October, though. As the Dodgers continue their quest to defend their World Series title, the greatest player on the planet will deliver his finest performance.Los Angeles Radio AM570 - Stephen Nelson and Rick MondayAudio clips from MLB.tvAs always, thank you to Baseball Reference and SABR for statistics, box scores, background information, and much, much more.Catch you next time,P.C.O.

American League Championship Series - Games One and Two(3) Seattle Mariners (90-72) vs. (1) Toronto Blue Jays (94-68)For the first time in 24 years, the Mariners have reached the ALCS. After outlasting the Detroit Tigers in an epic 15 inning fifth game, Seattle looks to continue their magical season and secure their first ever American League Pennant. MVP candidates Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez provided plenty of spark in the ALDS, but it was veteran infielder Jorge "Top Gun" Polanco who came up with the clutch hits, not only the series clinching walk-off, but also two homers off of likely Cy Young Tarik Skubal. Manager Dan Wilson's electric pitching staff will have their hands full with the Blue Jays hitters, who have been the best in baseball since May. Vladdy, Jr. led the way in a dominant performance against the Yankees. Toronto's pitching may be a bit of a question mark heading into this series, but they did the job versus New York. Rogers Centre should be raring to go for game one.Toronto Radio SN 590 - Ben Shulman and Chris LerouxSeattle Radio KIRO - Rick Rizzs and Aaron GoldsmithNational League Championship Series Games One and Two(3) Los Angeles Dodgers (93-69) vs. (1) Milwaukee Brewers (97-65)Despite being the reigning World Series Champions and boasting a record shattering payroll, the Dodgers don't want to view this series as a “David vs. Goliath” matchup. The Brewers may be a small market team without notable superstars, but they were the best team in baseball for a reason. They play hard, they battle, and they force you to execute as an opponent. Still, the pure talent the Dodgers possess is imposing. With 3 MVPS in the lineup, a 2X Cy Young Winner on the hill, and then one of the best Japanese pitchers to ever come over stateside going in game two, it's no wonder Pat Murphy views this series as a challenge. It should be a great one.Los Angeles Radio AM570 - Stephen Nelson and Rick MondayMilwaukee Radio WTMJ - Jeff Levering, Lane Brindle, and Josh MaurerAudio clips from MLB.tvAs always, thank you to Baseball Reference and SABR for statistics, box scores, background information, and much, much more.Catch you next time,P.C.O.

National League Division Series Recap Games Three, Four and FiveThe Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers will meet once again in the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers took care of the Phillies in four games, though their margin of victory in their three wins was just four runs. The Philadelphia pitchers, notably Christopher Sánchez, Ranger Suarez, and Jesús Luzardo, performed admirably against the potent LA lineup. It was the vaunted offense that let the Phillies down, as Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Kyle Schwarber struggled mightily outside of game three in this series. Although the Dodgers will be the lower seed in the NLCS, they appear primed to not only defend their NL pennant, but perhaps become the first repeat World Series champions since the 2000 Yankees.The Brewers dominated the Cubs in the first two games in Milwaukee, but the script was flipped once the series moved to Chicago. The Cubbies continued their first strike offense with early homers from Michael Busch and Ian Happ, and the bullpen held on to send this series to a decisive fifth game. The Brew Crew finally kept the Cubs off the board in the first inning, and their electric bullpen held Chicago to a solo home run from Seiya Suzuki. Homers from William Contreras, Andrew Vaughn, and Brice Turang were all Pat Murphy's squad needed to secure a series win. These “Not So Average Joes” will have home-field advantage as they look to secure their first ever NL Pennant.Los Angeles Dodgers (93-69) vs. Philadelphia Phillies (96-66)Philadelphia Radio WIP - Scott Franzke, Tom MacCarthy, Larry Andersen, and Kevin StockerLos Angeles Radio AM570 - Stephen Nelson and Rick MondayChicago Cubs (92-70) vs. Milwaukee Brewers (97-65)Milwaukee Radio WTMJ - Jeff Levering, Bill Schroeder, and Josh MaurerChicago Radio WSCR - Pat Hughes and Ron CoomerAudio clips from MLB.tvAs always, thank you to Baseball Reference and SABR for statistics, box scores, background information, and much, much more.Catch you next time,P.C.O.

Listen here!

Welcome to Episode 104 of Tablesetters. Devin and Steve are back to capture the drama, joy, and heartbreak of a September week that revealed everything we love and fear about baseball. In Los Angeles, the Phillies turned fatigue into fuel, clinching their second straight NL East crown in a game that began after a sleepless night of travel and ended in extra innings with Bryce Harper's fist-pumping eighth-inning home run and J.T. Realmuto's sacrifice fly. When the champagne popped, it wasn't just about celebration — it was about perspective. Garrett Stubbs made sure Harper could join the party with apple juice, and Harrison Bader's mantra rang through the room: “What a gift.” For a club that has known nothing but heartbreak since 2022, that phrase has become the soul of the team: gratitude, joy, and belief that this year can be different. Contrast that spirit with the Bronx, where Anthony Volpe has been grinding through a partially torn labrum since May, hitting just .197 with his defense slipping. Brian Cashman insists this is merely a “tough stretch,” but José Caballero's hot bat and steady glove have complicated the conversation. Caballero is hitting .314 since mid-August, and his emergence is forcing Aaron Boone to consider whether loyalty to Volpe is holding the team back. North of the border, the Blue Jays found a new reason to believe. Trey Yesavage, their top prospect, debuted with nine strikeouts in five innings, a franchise record, his splitter producing an absurd 11 whiffs on 14 swings. His 19 total whiffs put him in Kevin Gausman territory, and for a team already leading the AL East, his arrival feels less like the future and more like a weapon for right now. Toronto hasn't won a World Series since 1993, but Yesavage's debut makes that drought feel vulnerable. The Giants are also leaning into youth, promoting Bryce Eldridge, a 20-year-old, 6-foot-7 slugger ranked the No. 15 prospect in baseball. With 25 homers across Double-A and Triple-A and elite exit velocity numbers, Eldridge is being thrown straight into the fire of a Wild Card chase, where San Francisco sits just 1 ½ games back. With their first basemen producing a meager .614 OPS, Eldridge isn't just a curiosity — he's an immediate solution. In Detroit, fear gave way to relief when Tarik Skubal, the frontrunner for the AL Cy Young, exited his last start with side tightness. Initial panic subsided after imaging revealed no structural damage, and he's slated to pitch Thursday against Cleveland. His numbers speak to his dominance: 13–5, 2.26 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 224 strikeouts in 185 innings. In a franchise that hasn't seen an ace like this since Hal Newhouser, Skubal is the difference between a quick October exit and a run that could echo through history. Out in Arizona, the Diamondbacks are embracing the stars — literally. Blaze Alexander's joke about undergoing a “horoscope” on his bruised elbow became a clubhouse rallying cry, and suddenly the D-backs are aligning at the right moment. Zac Gallen notched his 1,000th career strikeout, joining Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb, while a six-run sixth inning powered them to an 8–1 win over San Francisco. With Jordan Lawlar's RBI double, Geraldo Perdomo's five times on base, and James McCann's homer, Arizona is playing like a team that refuses to fade. In Milwaukee, the Brewers clinched their own ticket to October in a celebration filled with laughter and tenderness. After the fireworks and walk-off, manager Pat Murphy read aloud a letter he pretended came from the late Bob Uecker. Players laughed at the imagined line about being God's “third catcher,” but the tribute brought misty eyes too. Christian Yelich captured the moment perfectly: enjoy it, but don't forget — the job isn't done. And then there's Juan Soto, whose brilliance continues to collide with the Mets' collapse. His 40th home run put him in Barry Bonds and Jeff Bagwell's company with a 40–30–100 season, the first of its kind in Mets history. He is the ninth player to hit 40 for different teams in consecutive years, joining legends like Griffey, A-Rod, and Ohtani. Yet while Soto shines, the Mets stumble, 21–30 in the second half, their Wild Card lead slipping away. His season is a masterpiece, but without October, it may be remembered as a monument to wasted potential. From Philadelphia's “what a gift” mantra to Soto's historic swing in Queens, from rookies Yesavage and Eldridge redefining futures to Skubal and Gallen reminding us of aces past and present, Episode 104 is the story of September baseball. It's belief, heartbreak, and joy — colliding night after night as October looms.

The Brewers are officially in the playoffs after clinching a berth over the weekend, and the magic number is down to 8 to win the division (and the likely first-round bye that comes with it). But it was still just a week full of uneven pitching performances. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the outlook for inconsistent Jacob Misiorowski, Brandon Woodruff (whose start was essentially skipped) and José Quintana (who left Sunday's start with an injury). Freddy Peralta ran his scoreless streak to 30 innings before it ended unceremoniously, but Pat Murphy believes he can improve in one specific way. Will all three first basemen really make the playoff roster? In Three Up Three Down (38:35), a new Brewers nemesis in born, outfield defense has been an adventure and  a dramatic Saturday rally. In Remembrew When (56:30), JR looks back at the parallel-heavy recent clinches, including a Rowdy Tellez cameo. Curt Blanche (1:00:45) tackles stadiums and clinch celebrations. Then, JR is joined by Brewers associate manager Rickie Weeks (1:09:15), asking about his experience watching his old buddies in the alumni home-run derby, his role with the Brewers, the connections between his teams and this one and Milwaukee as a baseball haven.
