(Just a note before I get started with today’s column on the Cardinals. I’m saving my NCAA Tournament takeaways for Tuesday, when I’ll have more time to work on it. Thanks, Bernie.) I’ve accepted the realities of living in a short-attention span...
IT’S FRIDAY TIME FOR BERNIE BITS! I hope you are doing well, and gearing up for a fun weekend. Get your NCAA Tournament brackets out. It’s almost go time. TRACKING VICTOR SCOTT II Cardinals manager Oli Marmol is impressed with the professionalism and...
